In order to evaluate a possible deterioration of the interface bond between the concrete and the CFRP laminate, the development length of the glued-on plate was purposely made smaller than the required value. 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. It was generally observed that both the moment capacity and the ultimate deflection decreased with an increase in the number of freeze-thaw cycles. The rate of decrease was larger for precracked than for non-precracked beams.","PeriodicalId":68258,"journal":{"name":"玻璃钢","volume":"57 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1999-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90903706","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 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.

The influence of combined effects \"time-temperature-loading\" on composite reinforcement adhesive layer was studied to identify the long-term mechanical behavior of RC beam reinforced with FRP. A set of tests were conducted on reinforced concrete structures with carbon epoxy composites. The tests consist of applying a tensile shear stress during six months to obtain the long-term creep data to carry out thermo-simulated test to assess short-term creep data. The master curves set up with this method predicts with reasonably accuracy the long-term creep test data. The time-temperature superposition method is used to determine several master curves with several levels of shear stress. This method permits an evaluation of the long-term shear stress to apply in the adhesive layer to minimize the creep. The durability of repaired or reinforced structure depends on the adhesive behavior. We have assessed that the identification of the long-term creep can be done with a thermo-simulated test. This test allows setting up the safety factor for any polymer to guarantee the structure durability.","PeriodicalId":68258,"journal":{"name":"玻璃钢","volume":"75 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1999-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86173809","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 with 2-#7 reinforcing bars showed a 60% increase in ultimate strength and a 26% decrease in deflection when comparing the loads that produced yielding of the steel in the baseline and the 5 layer test. Both structures were load tested and monitored before and after application of the CFRP with strain gages and LVDTs. The results showed an increase up to 8% in stiffness and up to 15% decrease in strain.

The mode is based on equilibrium and compatibility requirements in and between all constituents of the strengthened beam, i.e. the concrete beam, the FRP stripe, the adhesive layers and the interfaces between the various parts. 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. Results concerning the edge stresses at three characteristic locations that have been determined using the closed-form high-order model are discussed.

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}

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.
