Abstract
In 1977, as a project at the Institute of Structural Engineering of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich, dynamic tests were conducted on a series of seven beams. The beams were made of either concrete or lightweight concrete, and were reinforced to varying degrees. The influence of cracking due to bending on eigenfrequency and damping properties was investigated through systematic tests, which were continued until the proportional limit of the reinforcing steel was reached. From the results of these tests it was concluded that damping as a function of cracking sinks to a very low level after an initial increase.
