| Abstract | An experimental study of the influence of geometrical scale on the behaviour of plain concrete beams and longitudinally reinforced beams failing in pure torsion is presented . Ultimate torque , crack pattern and torsion-rotation relationship are considered with special emphasis on the ultimate torsion strength of the plain concrete beams . In all 30 beams were tested, including 4 different geometrical scale factors namely 1, 1,854, 3.423, and 7.417. Evidence of a significant, relative increase in strength for the smaller specimens was found . The potential causes for these increases are discussed. |
