Unequal slab length, circular ramp, large cantilevers are very common in modern architecture. The RC beams in previous studies were tested under the three and four point uniform loads. Therefore, a simple testing setup was arranged to understand the behaviour of RC beam under eccentric load applied at mid span. In this study the single point load applied eccentrically on RC beam. The beams were tested at different eccentricity and compared with control beam tested under the uniform load or zero eccentricity. Results have shown a drastically reduced crack load up to 54 compared to control beam as the eccentricity increased. However, small changed in ultimate load carrying capacity was observed up to 60mm eccentricity. Eccentric load caused biaxial bending due to high concentration of load on one side of beam, which change failure mode of RC beam from ductile to brittle. © (2014) Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland. date: 2014 publisher: Trans Tech Publications Ltd official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-84903540074&doi=10.4028%2fwww.scientific.net%2fAMM.567.339&partnerID=40&md5=c1a84695e0c9b99d8cc374fbd2f9c0aa id_number: 10.4028/www.scientific.net/AMM.567.339 full_text_status: none publication: Applied Mechanics and Materials volume: 567 pagerange: 339-344 refereed: TRUE isbn: 9783038351238 issn: 16609336 citation: Shafiq, N. and Imran, M. and Akbar, I.
