โฆ Synopsis
Tests are reported on the flexural behaviour of high strength reinforced and prestressed concrete beams in terms of strength, cracking and &formation. The beams were made from concrete having a cube strength of 85=110 N/mm 2. The working stress in concrete varied between 27.7 N/mm2 and 34'5 N/mm 2, and that in steel between 230 N/mm 2 and 345 N/mm2, ,The results show that high strength concrete beams posses's adequate load factors, andshow ample warning and ductility prior to failure. The crack widths under design loads" are within acceptable limits, although steel workhlg stresses of 345 N/mm z may result in excessive long-term deflection. The strength and deflection can be sati.factorily predicted by existing methods.

The strength of concrete at early ages has assumed a co~iderable significance in recent years due to the several specific requirements ot the modern construction industry, like the early striking or forms, early transfer of prestress etc. However, fly ash concretes are known to-have a lower early ag
The behaviour of class-3 type prestressed concrete beams, at the limit states of cracking, deflexion and collapse are investigated by experiments on pretensioned beams with mild steel as supplementary reinforcement. Several methods of calculating the width of cracks are examined in the light of expe
