The experimental study on the size effects of reinforced concrete members with eccentrical compression

摘要

The size effects of reinforced concrete members with eccentrical compression are experimentally studied, using two sizes of specimens which side lengths of cross-section are 200mm and 400mm, respectively, under the conditions in which e_0/h_0=0.6. It shows that, with the increase of the size of the specimen, the ultimate load capacity of the specimen decreases, relative to the calculated values; cross-sectional strain distribution of smaller specimens matches plane-section assumption better than larger-sized specimen's.
