Reinforced Concrete Design - Lab tests on RC beams

Department of Civil Engineering - University of Thessaly - Greece Concrete Technology and Reinforced Concrete Structures Lab (http://contest.civ.uth.gr) As part of the undergraduate module "Reinforced Concrete Design I", two RC beams were tested at the Concrete Technology and Structures Lab. One beam was designed to fail in flexure, whereas the other one was designed to fail in shear. Tests were performed under displacement control to guarantee safety for the students attending.
