Ceramsite concrete is seldom applied to load-bearing structures in China. The bending tests were carried out on 16 ceramsite concrete beams and 1 ordinary concrete beam o understand the flexural capacity of ceramsite concrete beams. Influence of ceramsite and steel bar on bearing capacity of ceramsite concrete beams were analysised. The results show that the destruction ceramsite concrete beams without reinforcement is brittle failure caused by two through cracks. Its failure mechanism is mainly the destruction of ceramsite,failure section through coarse aggregate. Flexural bearing capacity of...
