Abstract | ||
There is remarkably little agreement in the literature, regarding the codes of practice formulae of predicting deflections in reinforced concrete beams. Therefore, it was decided to carry-out tests on beams made of higher-strength steels and concretes. In this paper, typical experimental results are presented and discussed. Comparisons of the results with values predicted analytically by using various codes of practices are given. | ||
