experimental examination of intact and cfrp retrofitted rc beams under monotonic and high cycle fatigue loadings
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 tested under fatigue cyclic loading. every 6 tested beams consisted of 3 intact and 3 cfrp retrofitted rc beams. the specimens were 150×150×1000 mm in dimensions and a 150 mm-deep notch was cut at the center. the experimental examination was conducted to study stresses distributed throughout the critical regions in reinforced concrete and carbon fiber reinforced plastic (cfrp) strengthened rc beams. fundamentally, these critical regions are cracked zones in cfrp-retrofitted rc beams. results from monotonic and fatigue tests were compared to each other. in the monotonic test, shear stress distribution and stiffness measurements were carried out until the failure of specimens. in the fatigue test, the ceiling of applied load was considered at the level of design service load for bridges. in addition, strain measurements led to the calculation of interfacial shear stresses between concrete substrate and the cfrp layer. the variation of such stresses through load cycles will be presented and discussed. load–deflection curves, strain responses and propagation of tension cracks would provide an insight on the performance of the cfrp strengthened beams subjected to different cycles of fatigue loading.

Structural behaviour of RC beams externally strengthened with FRP sheets under fatigue and monotonic loading
This paper presents experimental research on the fatigue and post-fatigue static behaviour of reinforced concrete beams strengthened with glass or carbon fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) sheets placed either vertically or obliquely. All beams for fatigue tests were subjected to four-point bending for one million cycles with a frequency of 5 Hz. The results show that the FRP sheets can be used to ...
متن کاملExperimental and Theoretical Investigation on Shear Strengthening of RC Precraced Continuous T-beams Using CFRP Strips
Carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) sheets are externally bonded to reinforced concrete (RC) members to provide additional strength such as flexural, shear, etc. It has been widely accepted that carbon fiber reinforced polymers (CFRPs) can be used effectively to strengthen reinforced concrete (RC) members. This paper is intended to study and use externally bonded CFRP strips to repair and st...

This paper presents a fatigue assessment model that was developed for corroded reinforced concrete (RC) beams strengthened using prestressed carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) sheets. The proposed model considers the fatigue properties of the constituent materials as well as the section equilibrium. The model provides a rational approach that can be used to explicitly assess the failure mod...
