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}

Generally, two principal methodologies of advanced confinement are used: the \"Wrapping\" technique which consists of wrapped concrete columns using thin carbon or glass flexible straps epoxy-bonded concrete surface; and concrete filled FRP tubes (CFFT) in which the tube is the pour form, protective jacket, confining mechanism, and shear and flexural reinforcement. The proposed model consists of a generalization of the theory of elasticity, i.e. a step by step application of Navier classical relations which define the stress strain laws in states of triaxial stress.

Parameters investigated were: (1) different strengthening systems; (2) precracking of the beams, prior to strengthening; and (3) number of freeze-thaw cycles (0, 100, 200 and 300). For each number of freeze-thaw cycles three control specimens (RC beams with no externally glued-on CFRP laminates) were also tested.

Two sets of beams made with normal strength (35 MPa, 5 ksi) and high strength (70 MPa, 10 ksi) concrete were strengthened with two and three layers of carbon sheet reinforcement. The beams were instrumented to measure deflection, and strains in composite, concrete, prestressed steel , and nonprestressed steel, and tested to failure using third point loading over a simply supported span of 3 m (10 ft). The results indicate that prestressed concrete beams can be effectively strengthened with carbon sheets, the loss of ductility was minimal for prestressed concrete beams. A strength increase of 86% was obtained for 3 layers, and the decrease in failure deflection was less than 10%. The authors believe that the stress-strain behavior of a prestressing strand, which has a continuous strain hardening with no yield plateau, is the main reason for this different behavior. The strength capacities can be predicted with good accuracy.","PeriodicalId":68258,"journal":{"name":"玻璃钢","volume":"11 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1999-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74942362","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}

Potential applications include strengthening for a change in occupancy or load-testing; repair of inadequate construction; or possibly as an alternative reinforcing method for new construction. At the University of Wyoming, seven unreinforced concrete masonry walls were tested in out-of-plane flexure with carbon, aramid, and glass tape reinforcing. The initial three walls were tested with carbon tow sheets, laminates, and aramid tapes applied to the exterior surface of the wall. These initial tests indicated that the FRP strengths were well above the strength of the masonry causing shear failures in the unreinforced masonry. In addition, cost comparisons of the strengthening materials indicated that they were cost-prohibitive when compared to traditional strengthening methods. The four remaining walls were strengthened with narrow strips of unidirectional fiberglass fabric applied to the with epoxy. The objective of the second set of tests was to force a tension failure in the FRP rather than a shear or compression failure in the masonry. The failure modes included fracture of the GFRP, combination delamination/fracture, and complete delamination. Tension tests were also conducted on single lengths of the GFRP tape. The tension test was developed to provide a method of predicting the flexural tensile strength of the GFRP tape. Observed and potential failure modes are presented based on test observations along with a discussion of the desirable failure modes for the strengthening system.","PeriodicalId":68258,"journal":{"name":"玻璃钢","volume":"19 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1999-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83560973","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 governing equations of the mathematical model of the strengthened beam are derived and an analytically closed-form solution is determined. A numerical example of a typical continuous reinforced concrete beam strengthened with externally bonded FRP stripes is discussed with emphasis on the shear and transverse normal (peeling) stress concentrations at the adhesive-concrete and adhesive-FRP interfaces at the edges of the FRP stripes.

Verification of this new approach is undertaken through comparisons with other test results ensuring its validity. Comparisons of the new approach with the ACI 318-95 equation calculating the punching shear capacity of reinforced concrete slabs without shear reinforcement show that the current ACI equation is unconservative in case of FRP reinforcement with low reinforcement ratios. A modification is proposed to the current ACI 318-95 code equation for punching shear in order to accommodate low stiffness FRP reinforcement.
