A total of 11 specimens have been manufactured of which specimens strengthened with bonded or unbonded CFRP strips considering the level of post-tensioning as experimental variable, and a specimen with simply bonded CFRP strips. The following phenomena have been observed through the experimental results. The specimen with simply bonded CFRP strips failed below 50% of its tensile strength due to premature debonding. On the other hand, all the specimens strengthened with post-tensioning CFRP strips showed sufficient strengthening performance up to the ultimate rupture load of the CFRP strips. Also, it was observed that the cracking loads and yield loads of the strengthened beams were increased proportionally to the posttensioning level, but the ultimate loads were nearly equal regardless of the posttensioning level and bonded or unbonded system. In addition, the yield loads and cracking loads of the beams with bonded post-tensioning systems were increased about 20% compared with those of the unbonded post-tensioning systems. However, the beams strengthened with unbonded post-tensioning CFRP strips showed ductile behaviour with large deflections resulting from the reduced member stiffness.","PeriodicalId":151616,"journal":{"name":"SP-230: 7th International Symposium on Fiber-Reinforced (FRP) Polymer Reinforcement for Concrete Structures","volume":"104 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132604775","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Recent shear tests conducted on beams longitudinally reinforced with different types and ratios of FRP bars indicate that the current ACI 440.1R-03 shear design approach significantly underestimates the concrete shear strength of such beams. This paper presents a proposed modification to the ACI 440.1R-03 shear design equation. The proposed equation was verified against experimental shear strengths of 98 specimens tested to date, and the calculated values are shown to compare well. In addition, the proposed equation was compared to the major design provisions using the available test results. Better and consistent predictions were obtained using the proposed equation.","PeriodicalId":151616,"journal":{"name":"SP-230: 7th International Symposium on Fiber-Reinforced (FRP) Polymer Reinforcement for Concrete Structures","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115573850","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Research has been undertaken to develop an installation technique that allows the CFRP strap to encompass the full depth of the beam, without requiring access to the top surface of the beam. The current testing scheme investigates the durability of the CFRP strap system using the new installation technique. A long-term load test was conducted on a RC T-beam which indicated that the straps continued to provide shear capacity after 7 months under a load equivalent to 80% of the ultimate capacity of the retrofitted beam. A cyclic test conducted on another similar T-beam specimen demonstrated that after 1,000,000 cycles, under a load that varied between 0.5 and 0.8 times the ultimate retrofitted beam capacity, the straps continued to provide effective shear enhancement.","PeriodicalId":151616,"journal":{"name":"SP-230: 7th International Symposium on Fiber-Reinforced (FRP) Polymer Reinforcement for Concrete Structures","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121847438","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Test specimens were full-scale prototype bridge deck slabs with varying end restraint and support conditions, differing dimensions, and two different FRP bar fiber lay-ups. The tests results were compared with the punching shear models in ACI 318, ACI 440, Eurocode 2, BS 8110, CEB-FIB MC90, JSCE, and a number of models proposed in the literature specifically for FRP reinforced slabs. Based on this investigation a new empirical model has been developed to predict the punching shear capacity of double layer grids having either restrained or simply supported edges and including an overlapping splice. The model is shown to give reasonably good predictions for both simply supported and restrained slabs.","PeriodicalId":151616,"journal":{"name":"SP-230: 7th International Symposium on Fiber-Reinforced (FRP) Polymer Reinforcement for Concrete Structures","volume":"49 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128761232","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, their diffusion is often limited by the lack of procedures and methods to assess the quality of installations. The main focus of this paper is to present a non destructive methodology based on a fiber optic refractometer for the quality control of FRP wet lay-up systems. After summarizing the basic parameters necessary for monitoring the cure reaction and introducing the principles of the proposed technique, some preliminary experimental tests are discussed. The analysis of laboratory outcomes allows identifying the aspects that need further research before the proposed technique can be implemented as a field tool for quality assessment of FRP installations.","PeriodicalId":151616,"journal":{"name":"SP-230: 7th International Symposium on Fiber-Reinforced (FRP) Polymer Reinforcement for Concrete Structures","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131211113","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A bundle of aramid strands was passed through the holes so that it sewed them in cross diagonal directions. As a result, the concrete wall panel was shut up into a net made of aramid sewing bands. Shear capacity increased by more than 25%. FRP sewing bands worked as confinement to the concrete under compressive stress rather than the tensile braces. Its performance is expected to be better than that reinforced by FRP sheet wrapping system, and more strengthening effect will be obtained with less amount of fiber material. This strengthening idea is originally proposed to apply it to the infill-brick wall.

One of the most important issues is the interfacial behaviour between the FRP composite and the concrete as this often controls the failure mode of the strengthened member. Several studies have progressed on the development of appropriate interfacial behaviour (bond–slip) models and on understanding the debonding phenomena. This work focuses on the numerical modelling of FRP-strengthened two-way reinforced concrete slabs where the predominant mode of failure is debonding at the FRP-concrete interface. An appropriate finite element model that represents the interfacial behaviour for FRP-strengthened two-way slabs is presented. The proposed model successfully simulates the different flexural failure modes, particularly those related to the debonding of the FRP sheets. The ultimate load carrying capacity and load–deflection relationships are predicted with reasonable accuracy.","PeriodicalId":151616,"journal":{"name":"SP-230: 7th International Symposium on Fiber-Reinforced (FRP) Polymer Reinforcement for Concrete Structures","volume":"54 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133273803","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
