The existing approach prescribed in ACI 318 for computing deflection of steel reinforced concrete overestimates member stiffness when FRP is used as the reinforcement. Deflection is then underestimated. Numerous proposals have consequently been made for computing deflection of FRP reinforced concrete, and have mostly involved modifications to Branson’s original ACI expression for the effective moment of inertia Ie. This paper reviews the different procedures used in the past by ACI Committee 440 to compute deflection of FRP reinforced concrete members, and discusses deficiencies of past and present ACI 440.1R deflection calculation guidelines. A case is made for the need to adopt a more rational approach to compute deflection and the basis for proposed changes are reviewed and explained in detail. A statistical comparison of past, present, and proposed approaches for computing deflection are compared with an experimental database that justifies the need for a more rational approach to computing deflection. The paper ends with a clear set of deflection procedures for carrying out serviceability design of FRP reinforced concrete.","PeriodicalId":205144,"journal":{"name":"SP-264: Serviceability of Concrete Members Reinforced with Internal/External FRP Reinforcement","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128345960","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}

Twelve beams (eight GFRP, two CFRP, and two steel-reinforced) were maintained under a constant sustained service load for nearly three years. Three flexural cracks were monitored on each beam over the duration of the test. The observed increase in flexural crack widths over the study was greater in the FRP-reinforced specimens than in the steel-reinforced specimens. On average, flexural crack widths in FRP-reinforced concrete specimens were observed to double over one year of sustained loading.

However, elastic modulus values of some commercially available FRP reinforcement hardly reach 20% of that for conventional steel. Existing code relationships for conventional steel have been modified to address this proprietary difference but the modifications are restricted by the empirical nature of the expressions. This paper provides an alternate approach to estimate the deflection of concrete beams by considering effects of tension stiffening that incorporate material properties of the reinforcement as well as the effects of concrete non-linearity in compression. A database containing experimental load-deflection records from 139 glass FRP (GFRP) and 48 carbon FRP (CFRP) reinforced concrete beams was used to calibrate a tension stiffening model for the proposed approach and establish its accuracy as well as precision through statistical analysis. Results were compared to those obtained from existing relationships and indicate that the revised approach provides higher accuracy at service conditions ranging from 25% to 80% of ultimate.","PeriodicalId":205144,"journal":{"name":"SP-264: Serviceability of Concrete Members Reinforced with Internal/External FRP Reinforcement","volume":"110 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132783116","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}

Several investigators have shown that the direct use of Branson equation does not yield conservative deflection results especially after steel yielding. The authors have developed an analytical solution that generates closed form expressions for deflection in simple beams. These expressions were shown to reproduce results that compared well with experiments. These expressions were dependent on the loading condition while Branson equation is not load specific. Branson equation is modified by replacing the cracked section moment of inertia with an effective moment of inertia at steel yielding to evaluate deflections at the service load levels. This revised formula could be easily implemented in the ACI 440.2R format. The predictions are compared against Branson equation and experimental evidence. Furthermore, another new modification to Branson equation is proposed for the region covering response from steel yielding and up to ultimate capacity.","PeriodicalId":205144,"journal":{"name":"SP-264: Serviceability of Concrete Members Reinforced with Internal/External FRP Reinforcement","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134320650","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}

This experimental campaign was further complemented with tests on strengthened tensile members. These so-called ‘tension stiffening’ tests typically consist of a tensile test on a reinforcing bar embedded in a FRP strengthened concrete prism. As the FRP EBR increases the stiffness of the beams and as a denser crack pattern with smaller crack widths is obtained, the serviceability limit state (SLS) of the strengthened members is positively influenced. Hereby, the behavior in terms of deflection and crack widths can be predicted in a fairly accurate way.","PeriodicalId":205144,"journal":{"name":"SP-264: Serviceability of Concrete Members Reinforced with Internal/External FRP Reinforcement","volume":"93 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126349816","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 total of four specimens, measuring 3 m long × 1 m wide × 0.19 m deep each, are extracted from the parking garage and then tested in flexure under four-point bending set-up. In addition, five FRP bar samples are extracted from the slabs and tested in tension to evaluate the strength or stiffness degradation of the CFRP bars, if any.

The use of nonspecificity of concrete cracking as a measure of cracking variability is proposed. Non-specificity is a type of uncertainty associated with having multiple alternatives to define variables (e.g. modulus of rupture, tensile strength to describe cracking). Nonspecificity in cracking can be described by considering cracking strength interval. Using a cracking strength interval, deflection intervals of FRP-RC beams are calculated. Deflection is modeled using cracked plane frame analysis integrated with recent models describing concrete tension stiffening with fiber reinforced polymers (FRP) reinforcement. A deflection database of FRP-RC beams is developed and examined. The uncertainty in deflection prediction is evaluated by comparing the measured deflection from the database with respect to the predicted deflection interval. The significance of deflection prediction parameters on the uncertainty in predicting deflection of FRP-RC beams was analyzed. It is shown that when the applied moment to cracking moment ratio gets close to unity, the uncertainty in predicting deflection of concrete beams reinforced with FRP increases.","PeriodicalId":205144,"journal":{"name":"SP-264: Serviceability of Concrete Members Reinforced with Internal/External FRP Reinforcement","volume":"9 2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134458023","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}
