COMPARATIVE TESTS ON CONCRETE BEAMS AND SLABS REINFORCED WITH MILD STEEL AND DEFORMED BAR

摘要

Results are given for tests on beams and slabs reinforced with mild steel and Tentor deformed bar. For both types of steel the dimensions of members are kept constant and the areas of the steels are, as closely as possible, in the inverse ratio of their proposed working stresses. Details of cracking, deflexion and ultimate strength are given.
