EXECUTIVE SUMMARYThis report provides the full‐scale load testing results of RG4 beam carried out onBPEX project site in the premise of Daewoo Tech (Thailand), located at Maptaphut,Rayong on 27 November 2008 to resolve the questions and concerns about the loadcarryingcapacity of the beam. ACI 318‐08 Building Code was used for testingprotocols and acceptance criteria.Successfully load tests were performed on site. Displacement transducers and gageswere used to monitor the displacement at beam midspan, 1/3 of the span, andcolumn support throughout the duration of the test. Additional minor crackingsfound during the test did not indicate impending failure of the beam. It wasconcluded that the RG4 beam met the acceptance criteria of Chapter 20 of ACI318‐08 at both maximum deflection and deflection recovery, demonstrating the safety ofthe beam.iii
