| Abstract | This investigation was restricted to a study of the rotation capacity of reinforced concrete beams subject to uniform load. Details of tests conducted on eleven reinforced concrete rectangular simply supported beams under eight equally spaced loads of equal magnitude to simulate uniform
load are described. The cross section of the beams was constant while the
longitudinal reinforcement varied from 0.55% to 2.6% and the span to effective depth ratio varied from 9 to 15. All test specimens were under reinforced and failed by concrete crushing after the tension reinforcement had yielded. It was concluded that the plastic length of the member is a function of the reinforcement index and the distance between the point of maximum moment to point of zero moment. The rotation capacity is a function of the plastic length, concrete compressive strain and the neutral axis depth of the critical section. |
