Experimental Research of the Influence of the Ratio of the Longitudinal Reinforcement for Behavior of the Narrow Three-Span Reinforced Concrete Slabs

The paper presents the results of an experimental research of four three-span models of reinforced concrete strips with the dimensions of 7140×500×190 mm. The aim of the research was to demonstrate the influence of the ratio of longitudinal reinforcement on the load-bearing capacity and the mechanism of destruction. The paper contains the description of the experimental stand and models along with the results of experimental tests which were compared with the results of the calculations based on traditional methods.
