  • Abstract:
  • When large concentrated loads are acting over limited area of concrete , the bearing strength of concrete is known to be increasing due to the confining pressure of the enveloping concrete in the surroundings of the contact area. At the same time , the high contact pressure may be many fold of the compressive strength of the concrete. There are lots of examples in engineering applications of better utilization of bearing capacity such as steel base plates of steel columns and trusses over pedestals. Literatures on the bearing capacity of concrete reported that the bearing capacity of concrete affected by the nature of bed supporting , eccentricity , conduit openings , concrete properties , specimen size , form and amount of reinforcements. Present study concentrates mainly on the effect of the geometry of the specimen on the bearing strength of RCC pedestal under concentric loading condition. Also the effect of deformation and crack patterns are investigated. Reinforcement concrete pedestals of 200mm x 200mm cross-section.
