During the test the concrete and steel strains, deflection and crack width are measured at different beam locations. Based on these experimental readings, the bending rigidities (EI) of HSC beams are defined and the results are compared with the different available theoretical methods.}, journal = {American Journal of Applied Sciences}, publisher = {Science Publications} }
