Abstract

The objective of this research is to experimentally study the flexural behavior of hybrid reinforced concrete beams. Three test beams, each with dimensions of (2200 X 150 X 240) mm, were fabricated for this purpose. The first beam was constructed using ordinary concrete, while the second beam consisted of two layers of high-strength concrete in the compression zone and normal concrete in the tension zone. The third beam was entirely cast using high-strength concrete. In terms of reinforcement, all beams were equipped with 2φ12 steel bars in the tension zone and 2φ12 steel bars in the compression zone. Additionally, φ12 steel bars were employed to resist shear forces, distributed along the length of the beams with a spacing of 125 mm c/c. Two-point loading was applied to all beams until failure occurred. The results obtained from the experimental tests reveal that the use of hybrid concrete beams enhances the ultimate load capacity by approximately 20.93%. On the other hand, beams constructed entirely from high-strength concrete exhibited an increase in failure load capacity by approximately 28.68%.
