Abstract
Abstract The most common FRP materials used are carbon fiber reinforced polymers (CFRPs), and glass fiber reinforced polymers (GFRPs). The use of CFRPs has grown rapidly in the construction industry, specifically in structural retrofitting, due to their strengthening property of CFRP. CFRPs are moreover high strength, lightweight, noncorrosive, and easy-to-install materials. In the present study, six reinforced concrete slab specimens included two control specimens reinforced by traditional steel reinforcements and the other reinforced by carbon fiber reinforced polymer CFRP bars without strengthening by laminated CFRP strips. The remaining four specimens are interiorly reinforced by CFRP bars and strengthened by CFRP laminates strips with different scheme layouts named Type 1 and Type 2. The specimens were tested under a uniformly distributed load applied at the top surface area of each specimen up to failure. The parameters considered in the present study are the amount of CFRP bars and CFRP laminates layout. Test results indicated that the strength carrying capacity and failure mode of tested specimens differ based on the steel reinforcement type and the presence of CFRP laminates layout.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
