this video shows a reinforced<font color="#E5E5E5"> concrete</font>

no shillings<font color="#E5E5E5"> being tested in bending the</font>

00:00:15.900 --> 00:00:17.040
specimen is made<font color="#E5E5E5"> from concrete</font>

00:00:17.040 --> 00:00:19.830
<font color="#E5E5E5">containing regular Portland cement the</font>

00:00:19.830 --> 00:00:24.000
rebar<font color="#E5E5E5"> is regular reinforcing steel the</font>

00:00:24.000 --> 00:00:25.680
loading diagram<font color="#E5E5E5"> shows</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> the beam
being</font>

8
00:00:25.680 --> 00:00:29.150
subject to four point bending

9
00:00:31.870 --> 00:00:33.940
the testing rig is now starting to<font color="#E5E5E5"> apply</font>

10
00:00:33.940 --> 00:00:36.160
vertical loads to<font color="#E5E5E5"> the specimen and the</font>

11
00:00:36.160 --> 00:00:39.070
beam starts<font color="#E5E5E5"> to deflect then quite</font>

12
00:00:39.070 --> 00:00:41.230
suddenly<font color="#CCCCCC"> we have an explosive failure</font>

13
00:00:41.230 --> 00:00:46.540
<font color="#E5E5E5">near a support this is what we call a</font>

14
00:00:46.540 --> 00:00:48.699
shear failure<font color="#E5E5E5"> and it is something that</font>
15
00:00:48.699 --> 00:00:51.900
we always<font color="#E5E5E5"> want to avoid</font>

16
00:00:52.770 --> 00:00:56.190
if we slow down the<font color="#CCCCCC"> footage</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> here
is that</font>

17
00:00:56.190 --> 00:01:00.890
<font color="#CCCCCC">failure again look how sudden it is</font>

18
00:01:01.110 --> 00:01:03.760
now remember this is<font color="#CCCCCC"> a beam in which</font><font
color="#E5E5E5"> we</font>

19
00:01:03.760 --> 00:01:04.809
have left out the<font color="#E5E5E5"> shear reinforcement</font>

20
00:01:04.809 --> 00:01:09.180
<font color="#E5E5E5">and this is the consequence</font>

21
00:01:14.930 --> 00:01:17.270
the graph initially shows a linear

22
00:01:17.270 --> 00:01:18.860
relationship between applied load and

23
00:01:18.860 --> 00:01:20.810
<font color="#E5E5E5">vertical displacement at</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> mid-
span</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> and</font>

24
00:01:20.810 --> 00:01:22.760
<font color="#E5E5E5">then all of a sudden</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> there is
that</font>

25
00:01:22.760 --> 00:01:24.610
brittle shear failure

26
00:01:24.610 --> 00:01:27.380
remember how sudden it is and ensure

27
00:01:27.380 --> 00:01:29.150
<font color="#CCCCCC">that you</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> avoid the possibility
of such</font>
