چکیده
Abstract: A new reinforced SFRFLC (abbr. steel fiber reinforced full-lightweight concrete) superposed beam was proposed to sufficiently utilize the good peculiarities of ordinary concrete in compression and SFRFLC in tension, and reduce its self-weight. Experimental study was carried out on the flexural behaviors of reinforced SFRFLC superposed beams compared with reinforced concrete beams and reinforced SFRFLC beams, the effects of such factors as sectional depth of SFRFLC, volume fraction of steel fiber, longitudinal tensile reinforcement ratio and strength of ordinary concrete were analyzed. Based on the composite principle, formulas are proposed for calculating the cracking resistance of reinforced SFRFLC superposed beam and the reasonable sectional depth of SFRFLC. The results showed that there was the optimal sectional depth of SFRFLC, steel fiber was the main factor while high-strength ordinary concrete and proper reinforcement ratio were beneficial to enhance the cracking resistance of reinforced SFRFLC superposed beam.

Experimental Investigation of Corrosion Cracking in Reinforced Concrete Beams Containing Nano Wollastonite
Cracking of the concrete cover due to corrosion is defined as the serviceability limit state of reinforced concrete structures. This study evaluated the influence of a mineral admixture i.e. nano wollastonite on corrosion performance and serviceability of reinforced concrete structures by performing an accelerated corrosion test on ten reinforced concrete beams under a sustained load. To do so,...

Current approach for designing of reinforced concrete members is based on the load and resistance factor. However the load and resistance parameters are random variables, the constant values have been designated for them in the designing procedure. Assuming these factors as the constants, will be led to the unsafe and uneconomical designs. Safe designing of structures requires appropriate recog...

Fiber reinforced concrete (FRC) has been widely used due to its advantages over plain concrete such as high energy absorption, post cracking behaviour, flexural and impact strength and arresting shrinkage cracks. But there is a weak zone between fibers and paste in fiber reinforced concretes and this weak zone is full of porosity, especially in hybrid fiber reinforced concretes. So it is necess...

The use of fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) U-wrap to rehabilitate concrete beams has increased in popularity over the past few years. As such, many design codes and guidelines have been developed to enable designers to use of FRP for retrofitting reinforced concrete beams. FIB is the only guideline for design which presents a formula for torsional capacity of concrete beams streng...
