Abstract
Structural beams in construction are subjected to significant torsional moment which affects the design of structures.Eight beams were produced with two distinct grade of concrete with two ratios of longitudinal as well as transverse reinforcements.An experiment for evaluation of torsional strength of reinforced concrete beams is presented in this paper.The main objective of this study is to access the role of varying percentage of transverse and longitudinal reinforcements on torsional strength of beams.Concrete grades of M 20 and M 30 beams were cast with 0.56% and 0.85% of longitudinal reinforcement as well as 50 mm and 75 mm spacing of stirrups.The experimental results are presented.The reported results include the behavioural curves and the values of torsional moment and angle of twist for entire 8 beams
