In this paper, methods for predicting deflections and crack widths and spacing of glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) reinforced concrete beams were proposed. In order to use the effective moment of inertia for concrete beams reinforced with FRP bars, the effect of reinforcement ratios and elastic modulus of the FRP reinforcement were incorporated in Branson's equation. This paper also presents a new equation to predict crack width. Six concrete beams reinforced with different GFRP reinforcement ratios were tested. Deflections and crack widths were measured and compared with those obtained by proposed models. The comparison between the experimental results and those predicted was in good agreement.","PeriodicalId":68258,"journal":{"name":"玻璃钢","volume":"27 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1999-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88213013","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}

The beams were longitudinally reinforced with equal amounts of CFRP reinforcement while transversely two beams were reinforced with steel stirrups and two with CFRP grids. The two spans of each beam had identical amount and disposition of reinforcement, and were symmetrically loaded with a point load at the center of each span. For the beams with steel stirrups, the so-called A(v)/s = 2.0 mm while for the ones with CFRP grade the equivalent quantity was 1.75 mm. The elastic modulus of the grid was half the elastic modulus of the steel. The beams were monotonically loaded to destruction and they all failed in flexure. Despite their lower shear reinforcement ratio, the beams with the CFRP grid performed as well as those with the steel stirrups. They actually failed at 10% higher load that the beams with steel stirrups. Strain values of up to 0.4% were increased in the grids. Recognizing the practical convenience of grid shear reinforcement over custom manufacturing of stirrups, and considering their satisfactory performance, as observed in the present testing program, the use of FRP grids as shear reinforcement is indeed feasible.","PeriodicalId":68258,"journal":{"name":"玻璃钢","volume":"3 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1999-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86908734","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}

Main parameters of the specimens include the thickness and height of the attached walls, axial load, and the amount of CFRP sheets. The strengthening method is done by wrapping the upper portion of the column with sheets in a closed form. Also, the waist-high walls are equipped with holes where the carbon fiber strands (CF-anchor) are inserted and anchored to the ends of the sheets attached only on the surface of the lower portion of the column. Test results show that there is a great improvement in the ductility of the shear-failure type specimens when strengthened with CFRP. Also with an increase in the amount of the sheets, the ductility is further enhanced. The specimens strengthened using CFRP with CF-anchor also show higher ductility than the specimen where only the upper column is strengthened. The bending and shear strengths of the columns with waist-high walls can be calculated by using effective column height h(e) considering the presence of the all portions.","PeriodicalId":68258,"journal":{"name":"玻璃钢","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1999-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76284763","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}

The end product of the research will be the design guidance and construction specifications necessary for the Army to use these materials systems. Much of the Army's inventory of facilities are usually either lightly reinforced or unreinforced. This structural system has been shown to perform poorly in past earthquakes and requires upgrading to ensure safety and mission operation during and after an earthquake. This research will develop procedures for the rehabilitation and/or upgrade of masonry walls using typical advanced composite materials systems. New 4-ft by 4-ft double width brick walls with FRP composite reinforcing applied to one face were constructed and will be tested. The shear performance of different widths and thicknesses of FRP composite applied across brick mortar joints of brick triplets, three brick high prisms with the center brick offset by half an inch, was also tested. Using FRP composites for seismic rehabilitation of URM walls show great potential. Triplet tests showed consistent strengthening of the mortar joints as a function of the width of the FRP composite overlay. With multiple layers of FRP applied, the shear strength of the mortar joints increased sufficiently to cause failure to occur via brick compression failures instead of via shear failure at the mortar joints.","PeriodicalId":68258,"journal":{"name":"玻璃钢","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1999-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79081527","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 fracture mechanics-based engineering model of bond strength for this failure type, derived from pure bond tests exists. In a beam vertical shear crack, mouth displacements can reduce bond strength by reducing the total fracture energy required to destroy the local bond. To quantify this effect, the shear crack mouth displacements have to be calculated, dependent on the acting forces, the geometry, the reinforcement and the material parameters of the beam. Then a mixed mode fracture mechanics approach is used to quantify the of bond strength due to simultaneous action of bending and shear. In most cases, bond strength reduction due to vertical shear crack displacement will range around 5-10%. In CFRP-plates another type of debonding failure, specific to fiber reinforced plastics was observed. Interlaminar failure in the plate, preferably occurring with higher-strength concrete is considered a mixed mode fracture problem and was investigated by simultaneous measurements of the Mode I and mode II displacements of the bond crack with electronic speckle pattern interferometry (ESPI). A fracture mechanics approach to a criterion for interlaminar plate failure was derived. According to this, a surface tensile strength of the concrete of more than 3,0 MPa cannot be taken advantage of in design, since interlaminar plate failure will then govern bond failure.","PeriodicalId":68258,"journal":{"name":"玻璃钢","volume":"46 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1999-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89775383","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 series of tests were carried our in order to study the concrete cover delamination failure, wherein the variables were length of beam span, bonded area, number of plies, and U-jacketing schemes. Two mechanisms within the concrete cover delamination failure were observed: one starting at the cutoff point of the FRP, which is originated by a high concentration of normal (out-of-plane) and shear stresses, and second one starting at an intermediate crack. The latter mode of failure is caused by normal and shear stresses at the level of the steel reinforcement.

Being expected to reduce inconvenience in retrofit work of buildings, some techniques using carbon and/or aramid fibers have been widely employed in Japan due to lightweight, flexibility, non-welding, and easy handling. Many of these techniques aim to improve shear capacity and ductility of existing reinforced concrete columns and may be called \"Standard Method\" due to the almost common working procedure. The procedure includes (1) wrapping columns in the transverse direction using continuous fiber sheets, (2) impregnating epoxy resin into the sheets to make FRP composite, and (3) doing surface treatment or arrangement of concrete to prevent voids or wrinkles. This \"Standard Method\" of fiber wrapping has induced development of other methods that improve a working process or can be applied for other structural members. In the future, the fiber wrapping technique will be more spread, however, it requires an approved and common quality control method. An education program for retrofit engineers and craftsmen should be also established.","PeriodicalId":68258,"journal":{"name":"玻璃钢","volume":"7 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1999-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78493829","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}

Rebar corrosion prevention is basically provided by penetration liquid and/or mortar, while mechanical degradation is compensated by CFRP. CFRP can also provide an effective layer for subsequent corrosive agent penetration. The technique can overcome various drawbacks of the current repair techniques by minimizing repair time and unnecessary chipping of damaged concrete, and protect degrading concrete structures. Such excellent performances have been proven by a series of experiments. Steel rebar embedded in a concrete block brushed with lithium nitrate-based penetrating corrosion inhibitor has been proven rust-free for years. The tensile strength of CFRP sheet have been proven unchanged after the exposure of 10,000 hours of accelerated weathering conditions. The CFRP sheet has also been proven impermeable to salt ion and water by experiments. Both shear and tensile strengths of concrete columns, damaged by salt penetration and then repaired with this new technique, have been proven equal or greater than the original strengths of control column.","PeriodicalId":68258,"journal":{"name":"玻璃钢","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1999-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78536651","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}

The tube helps turn normal strength concrete core into a high performance concrete, i.e., one with high strength, ductility, and durability. The over-reinforcement in concrete-filled tubes helps avoid split rupture of the FRP reinforcement in tension, which is catastrophic in nature. A total of 8 concrete-filled FRP tubes were tested as beam-columns under a combination of axial and flexural loads. The tubes were 9 feet long, and had an outside diameter of 13-11/16 in. with a wall thickness of about 0.55 in.. The study showed that over-reinforcement concrete-filled FRP tubes generally behave well as beam columns. They deflect to a lesser extent than the corresponding under-reinforced sections. They are also more efficient than under-reinforced sections, because a small portion of their sectional capacity is consumed by secondary moments and P-delta effects. Their failure, while in compression, is considered to be gradual and progressive.","PeriodicalId":68258,"journal":{"name":"玻璃钢","volume":"40 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1999-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91516166","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}
