BENDING TEST AND INTERPRETATION

摘要

The "draft recommendation" of the bending test has been published in 2000. In the Brite Euram project BRPR-CT98-0813 (1999-2002) a round robin test programme was carried out on the bending test. Both plain concrete and steel fibre reinforced concrete (SFRC) were investigated. The material variables for the SFRC beams consisted of two concrete strengths, three fibre dosages and three types of fibres. In general, the beam test was found to be a good robust test and relatively easy to carry out. Although inter-lab variations do occur, this was relatively small compared to the inherent material variation. Some modifications, as proposed by the research consortium in the European project, have been included in the draft recommendation resulting in the final recommendation of the bending test.
