EXPERIMENTAL AND NUMERICAL ANALYSIS OF RCC BEAM WITH SURFACE REINFORCEMENT

In RCC structures design criterias of different countries are given through different codes of procedure. For reinforced concrete structures concrete takes the compression and steel takes the tension. There are different types of reinforcement used in RCC structures for shear, torsion, seismic loadings etc. In Eurocode, another type of reinforcement named as surface reinforcement, which is not given in IS 456:2000. Surface reinforcement is a type of reinforcement should consist of wire mesh or small diameter bars, and be placed outside the links and it is provided when the cover of reinforcement of structural members exceeds 75mm, and it may be appropriate to provide a surface reinforcement. This research work deals with the application of surface reinforcement in beams in all conditions by without considering the provisions given in Eurocode for surface reinforcement. Thermal resisting capacities of an RCC beam specimen with and without surface reinforcement calculated Models were developed by considering these criteria and that were analysed by using ANSYS 2022 software
