Reinforced concrete and fiber-reinforced concrete high beams behavior. An experimental and numeric work proposal

Abstract

High-rise beams are plate-shaped structures applied to its plane and supported as beams. They are used in numerous structures such as tall buildings, foundations, tanks, etc. The behavior of these structures is under study in the Chairs Structural Analysis II and Elasticity and Plasticity of the Concordia Regional Faculty (FRCon), of the University National Technological. It is for this reason and with the aim of strengthening theoretical and practical knowledge on the subject, as well as improve the understanding of the MEF through its application to the resolution of real problems, a joint work was proposed from the chairs already mentioned. This work consisted of carrying out flexural tests of high-rise concrete beams reinforced (HA) and reinforced concrete with steel fibers (HRFA) and its corresponding numerical simulation. Also I know intended to transfer to undergraduate students the knowledge of research carried out within the framework of approved projects at the FRCon and FRCU faculties on HRFA. The proposed work methodology managed to arouse the interest of the students because it allowed to reaffirm and consolidate the theoretical concepts developed in the classroom, generated participatory learning and integrated two chairs.
