"The Effect Of Local Basalt Stones On The Behavior Of Structural Reinforced Elements Subjected To Shear And Bending "


Abstract in English

This paper studies a practical laboratory process of the possibility of benefiting from an important resource of the natural resources available in the country, namely "Basalt" which is found in large quantities in the southern region (As-Suwayda) to demonstrate how much it meets the requirements of Standard Specifications for use in the manufacture of concrete by testing five design mixtures of concrete , of which the cubic dimensions are (15% x 15) cm and the cylindrical dimensions are (15 * 30 cm) with different percentages of the basaltic and dolomitic calcareous compounds used in them as follows: (0% basalt and 100% lime),( 25% basalt and 75% lime) , (50 % basalt 50 % lime) (75% basalt 25% lime), (100%basalt and 0% lime) on the strength of pressure and tensile strain by Splitting and Moduls of Elasticity of ages (28-7-3) days, and its effect on the behavior of Reinforced Structural Elements susceptible to shear and Bending through testing Reinforced beams of dimensions (16 × 12 × 200) cm on shear, Bending and cracking Moduls (Coefficient) with ages of (14-28) days.
