AN EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION ON BEHAVIOR OF TENSAIRITY BEAM SUBJECTED TO CONCENTRATED LOAD IN COMPARISON WITH RCC BEAM
Journal Title: GJRA-Global Journal For Research Analysis - Year 2019, Vol 8, Issue 2
Abstract
Tensairity is a new light weight structural concept. The key principle of Tensairity is to use low pressure air to stabilize compression elements against buckling. The basic Tensairity structure is a beam with the properties of a simple air beam as light weight, fast set up and compact storage volume but with the load bearing capacity of conventional steel girders. Ideal applications of the Tensairity Technology include wide span roof structures, temporary buildings and footbridges. An experimental investigation had been carried out to understand the behavior of a Tensairity beam subjected to concentrated load in comparison with that of a RCC beam to determine its ultimate load carrying capacity and deections. The Tensairity beam has been casted with a ex of 1m length and 30cm diameter is made into a cylindrical membrane lled with compressed air with an internal pressure of 954N/mm2 making it a very light and deployable beam.
