Stiffness is defined as the ratio of load per unit deformation.
it is the modulus of elasticity, rather low for concrete compared to steel.
it can be estimated using equation E=3320(Fc)1/2 + 6900
Fc being the compressive strength
Internal Resistance offered by the beam when an external load is applied on the Beam.
It proves shear reinforcement in the beam.
to resist shear force
25 mm cover should be given
strength will be reduced
Steel is stronger than concrete. By adding some reinforcement in the compression zone of a beam, it's bending strength can be increased without increasing the size of the beam. The steel increases the compression strength, while the concrete prevents the slender steel bars from buckling.

Stiffness is defined as the ratio of load per unit deformation.
the spring stiffness effect the natural frequency of the beam. the increasing value of spring stiffness lead to the increase value of natural frequency of the beam also.
Increase the moment of inertia
It is a monolythic concrete beam consisting of a web and a flange to form the shape of a"T" .
reinforced concrete prise
It proves shear reinforcement in the beam.
The flexural stiffness of a structural beam (E*I/L) is represented as the product of the modulus of elasticity (E) and the second moment of area (I) divided by the length (L) of the member.
The neutral axis of a reinforced concrete beam is the area where the beam is neither in a state of tension or a state of compression. This is determined by having the length and breadth of the beam available.
to resist shear force
beam
Reinforced concrete is made by placing steel bars in the tension zone of the beam x-section.
