USE OF STRAIN GAUGES TO STUDY DEFORMABILITY OF REINFORCED CONCRETE AND STEEL FIBER CONCRETE ROAD SLABS

Abstract

Studying road slabs is an important topic for engineers and designers in the field of construction and road management. Since road slabs are a fundamental element of any road, their quality and deformability can impact the safety of road traffic and the comfort of drivers and passengers. Researching road slabs is a crucial topic for engineers and designers in the field of construction and road manage- ment, as their quality and deformability can affect the safety of road traffic and the comfort of drivers and passengers. Nowadays, research on testing road slabs is rarely found among scientific publications. After analyzing the deformation results, we can conclude that using road slabs made of steel fiber-reinforced concrete is a reasonable solution. Thus, studying the deformability of road slabs made of steel fiber-reinforced concrete is relevant.
