Experimental Investigation of Flexural Behavior of Hybrid Self-Compacting Pozzo-Lime Reinforced Concrete Beams

Abstract

The main goal of this research is to investigate the effect of using hybrid self-compacting Pozzo-lime concrete on the bending behaviour of reinforced concrete beams. To achieve this objective, a set of eight laboratory samples comprised of reinforced concrete beams measuring 1400 mm in length and 150 x 250 mm in dimensions were subjected to two-point bending testing. These beams were constructed using hybrid self-compacting Pozzo-lime concrete at varying depths. The samples' ultimate strength, ductility, cracking pattern, and mode of failure, as well as the load-displacement diagram, are subsequently assessed. The laboratory sample of the P75C25 beam exhibited the greatest final strength, hardness, and ductility, according to the findings of this study.
