Abstract:
In this paper, the details studies carried out on Flexural Behavior of Hollow Square Beam Using Fiber Reinforced Concrete at various depths. As concrete is weak in tension, steel reinforcements are provided in this zone. The concrete below the neutral axis act as a stress transfer medium between the compression and tension zone. Partial replacement of the concrete below the neutral axis is an idea that can create reduction in weight and savings in materials. This research focuses on structural material optimization by introducing hollow core using PVC pipe in tension zone of RC beams. By material optimization, we can reduce the dead loads which contribute to seismic effect in high rise structures. The Glass Fiber is added into the concrete mix M20 grade with respect to the water ratio. The strength and durability of the concrete structure is depending upon the different ratio of glass fiber in the concrete. The experimental programs consists of casting and testing of RC Beams of size 1000mm x 150mm x 150mm provided with 50mm circular PVC pipe at various depths along lateral direction. To determine the flexural behavior, the test conducted on RC Beams are three point loading.
