Effect of high performance composite macrofiber on the shear behavior of reinforced beams without stirrups
Although numerous studies have investigated the effectiveness of steel fibers as shear reinforcement in concrete structures. The present study investigates a novel high-performance composite macrofiber (HPCF) for shear reinforcement in reinforced beams, encouraging its use in construction. Three groups of longitudinally reinforced beams, lacking shear reinforcement but containing varying HPCF contents, were fabricated. A multi-method validation approach was adopted, including four-point bending test, nonlinear finite element (FE) modeling, and theoretical analysis based on current design codes. Full-field strain and crack evolution were monitored using Digital Image Correlation (DIC), enabling a detailed evaluation of crack initiation and width development. Results revealed that a relatively low fraction of HPCF significantly enhanced beam’s shear capacity. The validated FE models were further used to explore the influence of longitudinal (ρL) and shear (ρV) reinforcement ratios on the shear behavior of beams with HPCF. Finally, safety margins of using HPCF as only shear reinforcement were evaluated using theoretical models outlined in different design codes. Although formulated only for steel fibers, FprEC2:2022 is shown to perform well also for HPCF. Overall, the experimental, numerical and theoretical findings support the feasibility of using HPCF as a reliable alternative to traditional shear reinforcement in concrete beams.
期刊介绍:
The past few decades have seen outstanding advances in the use of composite materials in structural applications. There can be little doubt that, within engineering circles, composites have revolutionised traditional design concepts and made possible an unparalleled range of new and exciting possibilities as viable materials for construction. Composite Structures, an International Journal, disseminates knowledge between users, manufacturers, designers and researchers involved in structures or structural components manufactured using composite materials.
The journal publishes papers which contribute to knowledge in the use of composite materials in engineering structures. Papers deal with design, research and development studies, experimental investigations, theoretical analysis and fabrication techniques relevant to the application of composites in load-bearing components for assemblies, ranging from individual components such as plates and shells to complete composite structures.
