The aim of this work is to study the cracking of reinforced concrete continuous beams by considering different classes of concrete. It is well known that the design of reinforced concrete structures includes three limit states (limit state of collapse, limit state of strain and limit state of cracking). The cracks in reinforced concrete structures are admitted in the phase II (cracked sections). Thus, the phenomenon of cracks formation can be treated as a normal state only when their openings are limited to avoid a permanent risk of collapse and ensure durability for the civil engineering concrete structures. The importance of this work is described by the tests made on reinforced concrete continuous beams in real size, under concentrated loads increasing from zero up to collapse, where the concrete class influence on the cracks spacing has been studied. As this wasnt theoretically investigated, the used references for an aim comparison were relative to experimentations made by Monnier and Kuczynski on an only one concrete class to the cracks openings and the spacing evaluation analysis The findings of the research reported in this paper show that there is no effect of the concrete class on the cracks spacing. |
