A computing module for a quick determination of flexural strength of concrete

Abstract

   This paper presents a computing module for a quick determination of flexural strength of fibre-reinforced concrete, plain concrete and hybrid cement composite. The hybrid cement composite consists of two layers of plain concrete and steel fibre-reinforced concrete. Both of these concretes are self-compacting ones. Flexural strength could be defined quickly by a series of codes, which was written in Matlab language. The verification was done by comparing the experimental test results and the one from the code. On the same basis, the deviation between the code and the experiment was less than 5%. This outcome proved the efficiency of the code developed for the study.
