Abstract: Sandwich beams are composite structure having high stiffness and Strength ratios and are used as light weight load bearing components. The use of thin, strong skin sheets adhered to thicker, lightweight core materials has allowed industry to build strong, stiff, light, and durable structures. This study examines the behaviour of sandwich shape beams driven by the viscoelastic rubber core. Finite element (FE) method is used to analyze the overall transient responses, harmonic responses and the static responses of the sandwich systems subject to a concentrated point load at the mid span of the beam. The innovative form of SCS sandwich beam design, their mode of failures, their static response has been thoroughly studied from the journals for initiating the project. The preliminary tests were carried out for normal weight concreting materials. From preliminary tests results all the material properties were arrived. From that results mix proportion of M30 grade of concrete has been achieved. By using this mix ratio concrete cube were casted for attaining desired strength of parameters. All the tests were conducted for hardened concrete. From that results we obtained concrete for compressive strength. Lastly the SCS beams, normal beams and SCS beams with inclined connectors were casted and testing was carried out on it.
