Abstract:

This paper describes the comparative study of the behavior of the geogrid reinforced concrete beam and non-reinforced concrete beams. The application of geogrid in concrete pavement ameliorates better strength, durability, and eco-friendly. The purpose of this paper is to reduce the utilization of concrete in this rapidly urbanizing world by introducing smart materials such as “Geogrid” in the road pavement which can be eco-friendly and durable without compensating its strength. The experimental investigation consisting of comparison of testing 2 beams reinforced with geogrid and 1 beam of conventional plain cement concrete (PCC) beam under two point loading testing apparatus. The result from testing confirms that the geogrid beams have more flexural strength and bond strength in comparison to PCC beams. In this project ANSYS is used to analyze the deflection of all beams by applying design load. The finite element program ANSYS has been used to study the Strengthened behavior of a beam. ANSYS 14.5 software is used to analysis the beam to develop finite element model. ANSYS 14.5 is used to analyze deformation occurs in beam. Concrete is molded in solid element where geogrid is molded in line element. Analysis is carried out by using a computer software program ANSYS with a three dimensional linear 8-noded hexahedral element.
