The theoretical procedre has been validated by condcting an experimental investigation on nder reinorced ly ash concrete beams. The correlation between experimental and analytical vales o moments and crvatres arrived at based on the above procedre is ond to be good. The cement was replaced by1, 2, 3 and 4% ly ash obtained rom near by thermal power station. Keywords: Ordinary Grade Concrete, Moment, Crvatre, eective depth. 1. Introdction The concrete indstry is responsible or the economic and sae disposal o millions o tons o indstrial by prodcts sch as ly ash and slag. De to their highly pozzolanic and cementitios properties, ly ash and slag can be sed in large amonts as cement replacement materials in concrete. It is obvios that large scale cement replacement in concrete with these indstrial by prodcts will be highly advantageos rom the stand point o cost economy, energy eiciency, drability and overall ecological proile o concrete. The small size and the essentially spherical orm o low calcim ly ashes particles inlences the rheological properties o cement pastes, casing a redction in the water reqired or an increase in workability compared with that o an eqivalent paste withot ly ash. Fly ash diers rom other pozzolona which sally increase the water reqirement o concrete mixtres. A complete stress strain crve is needed or the analysis and rational design o concrete strctres. The strctres bilt in severe environment need drable concrete becase o hge amont o constrction expenses and diiclty in concrete repairs. A stress strain crve is a graph derived rom measring load vs strain or a sample o a material. In concrete the rate o increase o stress is less than that o increase in strain becase o the ormation o micro cracks, between the interaces o the aggregate and the cement paste. The stress strain behavior o concrete is a prime parameter in designing, prediction o lexral behavior and estimating the toghness o concrete. The present work was taken p to stdy the rotational capacity o reinorced concrete sections and ly ash concrete sections. De to large constrction activity all over the world, the scarcity o the constrction materials is becoming an obstrction or the expansion. With a 497

Models or Stress Strain Crves Many researchers developed varios models or the prediction o stress strain behavior o concrete. Some o the models are given below. 2.1 Desayi and Krishnan s model For Normal strength concrete, the stress strain relationship is given by Ax = 1 + Bx 2 Where = The Normalized stress (Stress/ltimate stress) X = Normalized strain(strain/strain at ltimate stress) A, B are the constants and they can be ind ot by sing bondary conditions. This model is valid only p to ascending branch o stress strain crve. 2.2 Saenz Model With reerence to Desayi s model, Saenz proposed a model by taking into accont both the ascending and descending portions o the stress strain crve. This model is in the orm o Ax Y = 1 + Bx + 2 Cx Where y = ( / o) and x = o = Ultimate stress and Є o = strain at ltimate stress. 2.3 Hognested s Model For Normal strength concrete p to ascending portion, the stress strain model is c = compressive strength Є o = strain at peak stress.=.78 ( c ) ¼ 2.4 Wang et.al.

The proportions or the mix are 1:1.42:3.9 with a W/C ratio o.46. The Cement content or one cbic meter o concrete was 38 kgs. First the molds were cleaned with kerosene, the inner srace o the molds were lbricated with grease. The concrete was illed in the molds in layers. To achieve ll compaction 25 mm needle vibrator was sed. The molds were de molded ater 24 hors o casting. A two lettered designation is given to the specimens. PL, Letters represent the ordinary grades o concrete. The third letter indicates % o ly ash added. For ex: PH indicates ordinary grade concrete with % ly ash. The designation o the specimen was done with indelible water proo ink. The de mold specimens were kept nder water or cring prpose. Ater cring or a period o 28 days the specimens are removed rom the water and kept nder shade. The cred specimens were capped with plaster o paris to provide smooth loading srace, as the casting and testing has to be done on the same ace. The capping was done with the help o glass a plate and spirit level. The excess paste on the sides was removed sing a ctting edge. 4. Testing Procedre The capped specimen was attached with abricated compressometer with three dial gages and was placed on the movable cross head o the Tins Olsen Testing machine and centered correctly. Strain rate control was adopted to get the complete stress strain diagram inclding the post ltimate descending portion. The dial gages having a least cont o.2mm were sed. The average o the three dial reading was taken. A niorm movement was achieved by adjsting the inlet valve o the testing machine, throghot the period o testing with the help o control dial gage attached to the cross head o the testing machine and the stopwatch. For the satisactory recording o strains the crosshead movement o 1mm per minte was sggested by the previos investigators. The stressstrain crves or conventional ly ash concretes were developed by the athor in the orm Ax = 1 + Bx 2 Where = The Normalized stress (Stress/ltimate stress) 499

For obtaining the complete moment crvatre relationship or any cross section, discrete vales o extreme ibre concrete strains(є ) were selected sch that the even distribtion o the points on the plot, both beore and ater the maximm moments were obtained. The procedre sed in the comptation is as ollows. For a selected vales o Є c, the extreme ibre concrete strain, a netral axis depth nd is assmed initially. For the assmed vale o nd the compressive orce Cc and the vale o moment M c o this resltant compressive orce abot netral axis is calclated. The strain in tension steel Є s is calclated on the basis o strain compatibility. The tensile orce T s, in the tension steel is arrived at by taking the corresponding stress rom stress strain diagram o steel and mltiplying with the area o steel. The corresponding moments M s abot the netral axis is M s = T s (d nd). The vales o C c and T s are compared. I C c and T s are same, then the assmed position o netral axis is correct. Then moment M c and crvatre Ø c are calclated or a particlar ibre strain. I C c is not eqal to T s a new vale o netral axis depth is assmed based on jdgment whether C c is greater or smaller than T s.the above procedre is repeated ntil the eqilibrim condition C c = T s is satisied. The above analytical procedre enables the assessment o lexral strength o ly ash Concrete sections. The assmption made is a) Variation o strain across the section is linear p to ailre. In addition to above assmption, the ollowing three basic relationships Eqilibrim o orces, C c = T s Compatibility o strains(є c /nd= Є s /d nd ) and Stress strain relationship o the material. 51

The beams have shown very good reslts in comparison. All the beams were tested nder symmetrical two point loading on a simply spported span o 17 mm. Figre11 shows simply spported beam testing arrangements. Specially abricated extensometer and compressometers were sed in addition to delectometers. The delections were taken at 5 dierent points over the entire span o the beam. Displacement control was sed to obtain the complete proile o moment crvatre behavior, especially in the post ltimate moment region. Moment crvatre diagram were generated or all the beams based on the characteristic stress strain diagram. The experimental vales o moments and crvatres are plotted as discrete points on the moment crvatre diagrams. The experimental ltimate moments and theoretical moments compted based on the characteristic stress strain crve o reinorced concrete are represented on correlation diagrams.

There is a good agreement between the analytical and experimental ltimate moments, as can 55

The lack o very good correlation in crvatres may be attribted to the act that, the analytical crvatre at a section compted to satisy the eqilibrim and compatibility conditions, where as the experimental crvatre is the crvatre measred over a gage length o 2 mm and hence represents the average crvatre over gage length inclding localized high crvatres at the cracks.
