Three kinds of nominally 5/16 in (8 mm) diameter FRP tendons were included in the study: Carbon Leadline, Aramid Technora and Carbon Strawman. Thirty beams were pretensioned with a seven-wire steel strand (ST). Transfer length observations from this study were based on concrete strain measurements with a DEMEC gage system. Development length observations were based on three-point flexural tests. Four-point flexural tests were also performed on each material to gain additional understanding of the bond behavior between concrete and the PC reinforcing materials. The \"95% average plateau strain\" method of using concrete strain results was show to be an effective way to determine transfer length. By using appropriate flexural model and extrapolating results from over-reinforced tests to situations where the tendon would actually fail, it was possible to determine development length in this investigation. Despite differences in tendon material properties and prestressing forces, both the measured transfer lengths and the development lengths were almost identical for all tendon materials tested. The development length for FRP tendons was reasonably predicted by the ACI design equation, although transfer length appears to be underestimated.","PeriodicalId":68258,"journal":{"name":"玻璃钢","volume":"71 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1999-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90352926","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}

Three beams, one from each series, were not strengthened and taken as reference beams, whereas, six beams were strengthened using different schemes. The variables investigated in this study included the amount of steel shear reinforcement, amount of CFRP, wrapping schemes, and ply combination. The experimental results indicated that the contribution of externally bonded CFRP to the shear capacity of continuous RC beams is significant and is dependent on the tested variables.

One approach to provide ductility was the use of a hybrid FRP reinforcing bar consisting of different types of fibers, which fail at different strains during the load history of the rebar, thereby allowing a gradual failure of the rebar. The rebar was manufactured using pultrusion and filament winding techniques. These techniques have made it possible to embed fiber optic sensors within the reinforcement, for health monitoring, thus protecting the sensor from the harsh concrete environment. Pseudi-ductile behavior was validated through testing of coupon FRP rebar as well as RC beams. Testing of large-scale beams reinforced with the hybrid FRP rebar exhibited remarkable ductility behavior with ductility indices close to that of beams reinforced with steel rebar. Furthermore, the strain measured from the embedded fiber optics replicates the measurement of conventional LVDT and was reliable up to failure of the beams.","PeriodicalId":68258,"journal":{"name":"玻璃钢","volume":"2 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1999-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85791936","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}

Different from mild steel, CF sheet is completely elastic up to breaking point without any yielding phenomena. CF sheet works effectively in shear strengthening of concrete members when it is glued on concrete. To evaluate shear contribution of CF sheet rationally, it is necessary to consider bonding and peeling-off behavior of CF sheet. In this paper, we formulate a constitutive model for the interfacial zone between CF sheet and concrete according to the uniaxial test results. Based on this computational model, we propose the evaluation system for shear capacity on RC member retrofitted with CF sheets.

The investigation consisted of testing unidirectional sheet bonded carbon fiber as a reinforcing material for brick masonry prisms. Two types of brick and FRP materials were utilized in these experiments. The masonry materials exhibited high and low porosity, indicated by initial rate of absorption tests, while high and low modulus FRP materials were used. Strain gauge and full field photoelastic strain analysis was conducted to obtain a record of the strain transfer from the FRP to the masonry. From this analysis, a finite element model was then constructed to predict the mode and magnitude of failure. Results indicate that shear failure of the brick or debonding of the FRP were the general failure modes of the composite specimens tested. When comparing the results of different brick types, it is seen that, in the molded brick, the failure mode was shear failure of the brick at the end of the FRP reinforcement. In these specimens, it is clearly seen in the photoelastic strain results that strain transfer in the brick occurred in an area adjacent to the FRP. Failure in the extruded brick specimens was governed by the debonding of the FRP at the interface with the prism. It is conjectured that the viscosity of the epoxy and the porosity of the brick, characterized by initial rate of absorption tests, directly affect the bond of the composite structure and, therefore, the failure mode. Photoelastic results reveal that strain transfer does occur at high loads when the FRP remains bonded to the masonry. A linearly elastic finite element model was generated to match the experimental results and predict the failure mode for future design purposes. This model can be used for various configurations of FRP in the future.","PeriodicalId":68258,"journal":{"name":"玻璃钢","volume":"101 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1999-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88968718","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}
