Abstract

Experimental and analytical woks carried out to investigate the flexural behaviour of High Performance Concrete (HPC) beams are explained in this paper. Reinforced concrete (RC) beams are cast with conventional concrete (CC), HPC with conventional aggregates (HPCF and HPCS) and HPC with steel slag aggregate (HPC7F and HPC7S). The load deflection characteristics, mode of failure, ductility and stiffness characteristics are investigated experimentally. An analytical model is developed, using ANSYS software and the results are compared with those of experimental results. All HPC beams with steel slag aggregate show better performance than conventional concrete beams. It is observed that there is no significant difference between experimental and analytical results
