Abstract

In the construction industry, which is constantly evolving and open to new technologies, concrete has been used to build constructions and has great importance, but unless enough vibration application during casting process, occur gaps between the concrete components, therefore the physical and mechanical properties of concrete cannot be forecasted accurately. Self-compacting concrete does not require vibration or compaction, it saves workmanship and time, and has high performance. Because of less workmanship and shorter production time, the self-compacting concretes offer the possibility of making the construction more economical. In this study, the flexural behavior of the reinforced concrete beams produced with self-compacting and normal concrete were investigated in terms of damage mechanics. Flexural behavior, shear capacity, energy absorption capacity and fracture type of both concrete types was investigated and results were compared. Variables of the samples are the ratio of the stirrup, and the concrete type. Totally 8 pieces of 1/2 scale beams used in this study. The specimens tested with 4-point bending test. When all the results were examined, it was observed that the beams produced with self-compacting concrete consumed more energy.
