A Reliability-Based Design of Africa-Birch Timber-Reinforced Concrete Beams by Alhassan Aliyu Abdulrazaq, Uwemedimo Nyong Wilson, John Engbonye Sani, Ibrahim Rabiu

“… This study investigates the reliability-based design of African-Birch (AB) timber-reinforced concrete beams. This study investigated Some of the physical and engineering properties of the constituent materials for the reinforced concrete beams were tested and preparing the reinforcement in four different composition and configurations (steel-steel, Steel- AB, AB-Steel, and AB-AB) of the beams were prepared, cast and cured for varying durations (3, 7, 14, 21, and 28 days), and the concrete was tested for its flexural strength and deflection and consequently  reliability analysis (in terms of  flexural strength and deflection) of all the beam configurations using First Order Reliability Analysis-5 (FORM5) to assess the beam performance was carried out. …”
