PHOTOELASTIC CONCRETE SIMILITUDE WITH CR-39 REINFORCED WITH EPOXY AND GLASS

THIS INVESTIGATION WAS UNDERTAKEN TO STUDY THE SIMILITUDE OF MODELS FOR REINFORCED CONCRETE BEAMS BY PHOTOELASTICITY. ALL PREVIOUS ATTEMPTS OF MODEL ANALYSIS HAVE NOT MAINTAINED THE CORRECT RATIO OF REINFORCING ROD TO THE BEAM MATERIAL. THE MATERIAL PROBLEM OF OBTAINING THE NECESSARY RODS WAS SOLVED. THE MATERIAL EXPLORATORY INVESTIGATION REVEALED SUITABLE REINFORCING PLASTICS THAT HAVE OPENED A WIDE RANGE OF MODEL ANALYSES FOR REINFORCED CONCRETE. THE MODELS FABRICATED PROVIDED A STUDY IN CORRELATION OF MODELS AND PROTOTYPE. A SAMPLE OF STRESSES OBTAINED WITH PHOTOELASTIC INTERFEROMETER IS GIVEN TO DEMONSTRATE THE PRACTICAL APPLICATION OF THE MODEL ANALYSIS. /AUTHOR/
