Abstract

This paper presents a study carried out on Crack Pattern and Failure modes of RCC and Brick & RCC Composite Beams. The main objective of this thesis is to study replacement of concrete by bricks. The concrete of tension zone has been replaced by Brick in order to reduce weight and cost of the reinforced concrete beams An experimental program is conducted on six simply supported concrete beams. All six beams cast in 2 different groups and every group having 3 beams. The first group of beams is of reinforced concrete beams and second group of beams are composite beams. The Crack Pattern of both groups of beam compare with each other. The comparative study result on Crack Pattern is taken with the help of load deflection reading by using dial gauge. The dial gauge are at position L/6, L/3, L/2, 2L/3 and 5L/6, where L is the length of beam.
