EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION ON RC BEAM SUBJECTED TO ELEVATED TEMPERATURE

This project deals with behavior of reinforced concrete beams under the effect of elevated temperature. The reinforced concrete beam were subjected to elevated temperature 400 °C and 800 °C where chosen for 4.0 hours and 8.0 hours respectively. The present study investigates the effects of Conventional concrete and with 10% of cement been replaced by Metakaolin (MK) on all mechanical properties for M40 grade of concrete. In this project the materials properties of cement, sand and aggregates are tested. Cubes, cylinder and beam were casted for M40 grade of concrete and the compressive, tensile and flexure strength and behavior of RC beam (0.23mx 0.150mx1.5m) with respect to load versus deflection were tested and found out respectively
