Experimental and Analytical Study on Reinforced Concrete Beams in Bending Strengthened with FRP

The performance of the interface between fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composites and concrete is one of the key factors affecting the behavior of strengthened reinforced concrete (RC) structures. Existing laboratory research has shown that RC beams strengthened with FRP sheets usually fail because of either debonding of the impregnated fabric from the concrete substrate or fracture of the FRP...

Behavior of Coupling Beams Strengthened with Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer Sheets

In this research, using the results of 6 tests, the effect of Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) sheets on the behavior of reinforced concrete coupling beams of shear walls is studied. First, in the experimental part of the study, four coupling beams with different reinforcements were manufactured and tested. Then, after the failure of the specimens, two of them were rehabilitated and stren...

Numerical Simulation of Debonding Failure of Reinforced Concrete Beams Strengthened with Externally Bonded Frp

As the life age of the existing structures are required to meet the changing demands on civil infrastructures. So strengthening and retrofitting are required. Recently many techniques to strengthen the reinforced concrete beams in flexural by using fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) had appeared. The most famous technique among them is strengthening the (RC) beams with externally bonded FRP sheet t...

Flexural Cracks in Fiber-Reinforced Concrete Beams with Fiber-Reinforced Polymer Reinforcing Bars

Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) reinforcing bars have aTtracted considerable 0llellli0l1 for applications where corrosion of steel reinforcement is problemaric. Due 10 rhe generally low elastic modulus and poor bond clwracreristics of FRP as coil/pared 10 steel reinforcing bars, the use of FRP results in IGI:i?er crack widlhs under senJice loads. Fiber-reinforced concrete (FRe) is proposed for u...
