The testing showed that the crack spacing of the uniaxial tension members strengthened with CFS was only slightly affected by the diameter of the reinforcing steel bars, the thickness of the concrete covering and the stiffness of the CFS. The crack spacing and the crack width both for tensile and the flexural members was significantly smaller when the CFS was used. And also the cracks were distributed in the plain concrete tension member without steel reinforcement strengthened with CFS. Finally, it was recognized that the tension stiffening effect is realized to be improved by the non-linear behavior of the CFS-concrete interface.","PeriodicalId":68258,"journal":{"name":"玻璃钢","volume":"796 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1999-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78870067","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 results showed that the flexural stiffness of a cracked beam decreased rapidly with a reduction in tensile stiffness of the reinforcing rods. Compared to the short-term deflection of beams, the long-term deflection of the FRP reinforced concrete beams at one week after loading increased on average by 17 percent, and 57 percent at 10 months. The material properties of FRP rods had a great effect on the long-term deflection of beams. The long-term deflection increase of beams with GFRP was the smallest among all of the testes beams, and oppositely, the deflection increase of beams with AFRP was greater than the average. The rate of increase in deflection of the beams reinforced with braided rods was about 10 percent smaller than that of beams with smaller rods. Contrasting, the rate of deflection increase of beams with ribbed rods was about 10 percent greater than that of beams with spiral rods.","PeriodicalId":68258,"journal":{"name":"玻璃钢","volume":"54 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1999-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90815773","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 test under fatigue loading of RC beam reinforced with FRP shows that the strengthening of beam with carbon epoxy composite increases fatigue durability. To design composite reinforcement for a RC beam under fatigue solicitation, one has to determine the mechanical behavior of each material and above all, of the concrete composite interface. We have carried out a set of tests with fatigue solicitation on the concrete/composite interface and a set of tests on composite plate. Those tests set up the fatigue life for several levels of shear stress in the interface and in the composite plate and so allow to assess the maximum fatigue stress curve. The second part of the work is based on the information obtained from the first one to design the reinforcement. The design of the composite reinforcement is determined by a software developed by O. Hamelin and H. Nasseri using a non-linear calculation method. The design method of those reinforcements is based on classical methods used for RC structures, taking into account the slip phenomena at the interface and considering the mechanical behavior of each material. Suitable range of stress for concrete, steel, composite and interface are determined to predict the fatigue life of the reinforced concrete beams. So, the load range for the test on the beam is set up. Safety factors are determined for the structure loading.","PeriodicalId":68258,"journal":{"name":"玻璃钢","volume":"18 4 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1999-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82921364","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}

In a number of cases upgrading is related to changes which affect the load bearing components of the structure. Fiber reinforced polymer matrix composites provide an efficient means of bond strengthening slabs for enhanced load carrying capacity and for strengthening slabs after installation of cut-outs. This paper reports on a series of tests conducted to assess the comparative efficiencies of a commercially available strip form and a fabric form of material vis-a-vis strengthening ability and ductility. It is shown that material tailoring can result in significant changes in efficiencies. The extension of this to the rehabilitation of cut-outs is also detailed and aspects of an on-going full-scale test program in that area are elucidated.","PeriodicalId":68258,"journal":{"name":"玻璃钢","volume":"16 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1999-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82575019","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}

Although the AFRP tube is not structural member by itself, it will turn into an important seismic resistance member by hybridizing the AFRP tube and the RC column. However, in this lateral cyclic loading test under a constant axial force the bond splitting happened on these specimens for lack of bond strength because high strength and large diameter longitudinal reinforcement were arranged excessively. If the hybrid RC columns confined in AFRP tube prevented the bond splitting failure from happening, their high seismic performance could be expected.","PeriodicalId":68258,"journal":{"name":"玻璃钢","volume":"8 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1999-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74655780","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}

In this study, an experimental study was conducted to examine the seismic performance of existing R/C columns retrofitted with composite-materials such as carbon fiber or aramid fiber sheets. Quantity, retrofitting types and kinds of continuous fiber sheets were adopted as the experimental variables. As a result, by retrofitting columns with continuous fiber sheets, the failure mode of the columns changed from shear failure to flexural one. However, if the ply of continuous fiber sheets is not enough, the columns collapse because of hinge region concrete crashing just after longitudinal rebar yielding and its ductility is poor. Therefore, to make R/C column retrofitted with fiber sheets have good ductility, the fiber sheets should have a certain amount of membrane stiffness.","PeriodicalId":68258,"journal":{"name":"玻璃钢","volume":"24 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1999-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82193278","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 lack of knowledge is one important factor hindering the widespread use of FRP for prestressing. Therefore, a comprehensive study of the long-term response of FRP prestressed concrete members is necessary before FRP can gain acceptance as a viable construction material. This paper describes a part of an on-going test program to investigate the long-term behavior of CFRP prestressed concrete beams. The scope of the program includes eight large-scale T-beams constructed with different levels of prestress. The study considers fully prestressed and partially prestressed sections. For the long-term tests, the specimens are subjected to a sustained loading, higher than the cracking load of the partially prestressed members, maintained constant for several months (about 10,000 hours). The results of the long-term test show similar behavior between beams prestressed with CFRP tendons and that prestressed with steel strands. The ratio of long-term to instantaneous deflection was higher for beams prestressed with CFRP tendons than for the beam prestressed with steel strands. The overall deflection of the CFRP tendons was however smaller than that of the steel prestressed beams.","PeriodicalId":68258,"journal":{"name":"玻璃钢","volume":"94 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1999-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86207471","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}

Fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) reinforcement was designed to correct the insufficiencies. The challenge in the project, aside from the mechanics unique to FRP reinforcement, was to present the design in such a way as to allow and encourage as many bidders as possible to bid on the construction. In particular, since there are no standardized properties for any given type of FRP, the possibility that not all bids would involve the same properties had to be accommodated--especially in the flexural design. Generally, for each strengthening location, two flexural designs were completed: one giving required FRP force level at minimum ultimate FRP strain and one required FRP force level on concrete crushing at the limit state of failure, the latter associated FRP ultimate strain termed \"High Threshold\" ultimate strain. Required force level for any ultimate strain could then be obtained by linear interpolation. Ability to use FRP for shear reinforcement was limited due to low available beam stem development length. Both glass, with restrictions, and carbon FRP were allowed for shear reinforcement.","PeriodicalId":68258,"journal":{"name":"玻璃钢","volume":"13 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1999-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86893118","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}
