Using the biaxial frame, a hydraulic actuator capible of exerting a 110kip or 110,000lb of force vertically, the students investigated the failures of two reinforced concrete beams. This was illustrated with two beams, a 5.5"x8"x45'' block of concrete with 3/8" diameter rebar positioned parellel to the faces of the concrete block as well as 1/2" diameter rebar positioned axially,&nbsp; and a 5.5"x8"x69'' concrete beam, with rebar placed in the same manner. According to several students, seeing both failures upclose solidified the notions of shear and moment/bend failures.</p> <p>Video of one of the failures: <a href="https://youtu.be/nDULxJ5v1JQ" rel="nofollow">https://youtu.be/nDULxJ5v1JQ</a>.</p></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <h2> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--ucb-related-articles-block paragraph--view-mode--default"> <div>Off</div> </div> </h2> <div>Traditional</div> <div>0</div> <div>On</div> <div>White</div> Sun, 03 Mar 2024 20:06:45 +0000 Anonymous 299 at /center/ciest
