Results are presented on tests of reinforced concrete T-beams with a flange 20 inches wide by two inches thick setting on a stem five inches deep and four inches wide. These beams were loaded at the quarter points of an eight-foot span and also at the end of cantilever sections of two feet. The beams were loaded until they collapsed. The reinforcing steel was varied at the support section, but remained constant at the center. Moment-curvature information is developed from the experimental results, and conclusions are drawn concerning present theory for deriving analytical moment-curvature relationships for reinforced concrete sections. Ultimate concrete strain in confined sections is reviewed in light of the experimental results. Discussed also are current theories for calculating ultimate loads for indeterminate reinforced concrete beams. / M.S.
