Analysing Zone of Compression and Tension of RC Beam and Plain Beam

The purpose of this thesis was to investigate
about two zones of beam namely as Compression and
tension zone. Compression zone and tension zone are the
two zones that are specified for a beam. At the top and
bottom of the neutral axis, respectively, are compression
and tension zones. Steel is essential for supporting
reinforced concrete beams in this instance, especially in
the tension zone. Here we have conducted test on
different specimen with different reinforcement at
tension zone of concrete with different depths of beam
specimen. In Case One - We have used equal
reinforcement in both zones. In Case Two - Higher
reinforcement in Tension zone and low reinforcement in
compression zone. In Case Three – Reinforcement only
in tension zone. Comparing all three cases we found that
the strength achieved in case Two is nearly more than
90% as compare to case One.
