Flexural Behaviour of Reinforced Fly Ash Concrete Beams

Authors: Arivalagan. S

This paper deals with an experimental study on the properties of concrete containing fly ash .The flexural behaviour of fly ash concrete beams with and without reinforcement was conducted in this study. The addition of fly ash content used was 10% and 20% of mass basis. All beams had the same dimensions tested under two point load. The experiment results showed that addition of fly ash into Portland cement improves the tensile strength and improves the cracking behaviour in terms of significant increase in first crack load and the formation of large number of finer cracks. However, only marginal improvement was observed in the case of ultimate load.
