- Abstract
The article presents a study which describes a test rig for the shrinkage curvatures in cracked reinforced concrete beams. It states that the examination tested four specimens of point bending beams using a temperature cycling approach, which has been used at Durham University for controlled simulation of such curvatures. Results show that the effect of the shrinkage in a loaded beam involves the reduction of the magnitude of the tension strains.
