Abstract
Recent research confirms that concurrent use of Ultra-High Performance Concrete (UHPC) and Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) yields superior strengthening effects on RC structures compared to individual applications. However, this combined strategy is underutilized in research on corroded structure strengthening. This study investigates the flexural behavior of corroded RC beams strengthened with UHPC and CFRP rods through experimental and numerical analyses. A total of 13 RC beams were designed with different corrosion levels (0 %−20 %) and strengthening forms (U-strengthened, T-strengthened). The four-point bending test results indicate a substantial increase in peak moments for the strengthened beams, with U-strengthened beams exhibiting higher bearing capacity than T-strengthened ones. Additionally, the failure mode of the strengthened beams tends to be brittle. Sectional analysis results demonstrate that before the longitudinal reinforcement yield, it mainly governs the sectional moment, while after yielding, CFRP rods control the moment. Moreover, UHPC tensile stress makes a non-negligible contribution to the moment.
期刊介绍:
Engineering Structures provides a forum for a broad blend of scientific and technical papers to reflect the evolving needs of the structural engineering and structural mechanics communities. Particularly welcome are contributions dealing with applications of structural engineering and mechanics principles in all areas of technology. The journal aspires to a broad and integrated coverage of the effects of dynamic loadings and of the modelling techniques whereby the structural response to these loadings may be computed.
The scope of Engineering Structures encompasses, but is not restricted to, the following areas: infrastructure engineering; earthquake engineering; structure-fluid-soil interaction; wind engineering; fire engineering; blast engineering; structural reliability/stability; life assessment/integrity; structural health monitoring; multi-hazard engineering; structural dynamics; optimization; expert systems; experimental modelling; performance-based design; multiscale analysis; value engineering.
Topics of interest include: tall buildings; innovative structures; environmentally responsive structures; bridges; stadiums; commercial and public buildings; transmission towers; television and telecommunication masts; foldable structures; cooling towers; plates and shells; suspension structures; protective structures; smart structures; nuclear reactors; dams; pressure vessels; pipelines; tunnels.
Engineering Structures also publishes review articles, short communications and discussions, book reviews, and a diary on international events related to any aspect of structural engineering.
