Experimental Research on the Strength and Crack Resistance of Flexural Members Normal Sections of Reinforced Rubber Concrete of a T-Section

Abstract

Ensuring effective operation of structures in zones of aggressive media is associated with the task of studying, obtaining and developing composites of increased chemical resistance, strength and crack resistance. Structures based on corrosion-resistant materials (particularly polymer concretes) play a large role in solving these problems. One of these polymer concretes is rubber concrete or abbreviated as rubcon. This article is devoted to the study of the resistance of the external load to rubber concrete beams of a T-section. As a result of the experiments carried out on three series of rubber concrete T-beams with a different amount of longitudinal reinforcement, quantitative characteristics of the strength and crack resistance of their normal sections were obtained.
