Abstract
Modulus of rupture of concrete is frequently used for design of concrete structures whereas flexural strength of soils is generally ignored during analysis and design of earth structures. However, geotechnical engineers still study the bending load-deformation behavior of soils because it is useful in understanding of cracking of earth embankments and compacted clay liners, particularly when they are subjected to bending stresses caused by uneven settlements. A laboratory study was conducted to measure load-deformation behavior of Illinois PCC bottom ash amended with bentonite in bending using the conventional flexural strength test. This paper presents the bending load-deformation results obtained from this study.

Load-Deformation Behavior of Bentonite Amended Bottom Ash in Bending
Arlington, Virginia
Modulus of rupture of concrete is frequently used for design of concrete structures whereas flexural strength of soils is generally ignored during analysis and design of earth structures. However, geotechnical engineers still study the bending load-deformation behavior of soils because it is useful in understanding of cracking of earth embankments and compacted clay liners, particularly when they are subjected to bending stresses caused by uneven settlements. A laboratory study was conducted to measure load-deformation behavior of Illinois PCC bottom ash amended with bentonite in bending using the conventional flexural strength test. This paper presents the bending load-deformation results obtained from this study.
