experimental examination of intact and cfrp retrofitted rc beams under monotonic and high cycle fatigue loadings
the aim of this research is to investigate the effect of carbon fiber reinforced polymer (cfrp) composite fabric on monotonic and fatigue behaviors of reinforced concrete beams. to control the failure occurrence, a small notch was induced at the middle span in bottom surface for all of the studied rc specimens. totally 12 beams were tested from which 6 beams tested under monotonic and 6 other t...
متن کاملDesign criterion for fatigue strengthening of riveted beams in a 120-year-old railway metallic bridge using pre-stressed CFRP plates
This study presents a design criterion developed for fatigue strengthening of a 120-year-old metallic railway bridge in Switzerland and presents a pre-stressed un-bonded reinforcement (PUR) system developed to apply the strengthening. The PUR system uses carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) plates; however, unlike conventional pre-stressed CFRP reinforcement methods, preparation of the existi...
متن کاملFatigue Crack Growth Rate Model for Metallic Alloys
A model has been created to allow the quantitative estimation of the fatigue crack growth rate in steels as a function of mechanical properties, test–specimen characteristics, stress–intensity range and test–frequency. With this design, the remarkable result is that the method which is based on steels, can be used without modification, and without any prior fatigue test, to estimate the crack g...
متن کاملFatigue strengthening of riveted girders in a historic railway metallic bridge in Switzerland using pre-stressed un-bonded CFRP laminates
In this paper, the applicability of the constant life diagram (CLD) methodology for fatigue strengthening of metallic members is described. The CLD methodology is a method that uses the combined effect of alternating stress, mean stress and material properties to predict the material life-time under high-cycle fatigue loading. The method could be used most efficiently to improve resistance to c...
متن کاملNear-threshold fatigue crack growth in bulk metallic glass composites
A major drawback in using bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) as structural materials is their extremely poor fatigue performance. One way to alleviate this problem is through the composite route, in which second phases are introduced into the glass to arrest crack growth. In this paper, the fatigue crack growth behavior of in situ reinforced BMGs with crystalline dendrites, which are tailored to impa...
