Book FRP Composites for Reinforced and Prestressed Concrete Structures

Download or read book FRP Composites for Reinforced and Prestressed Concrete Structures written by Perumalsamy Balaguru and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2008-11-05 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: High strength fibre composites (FRPs) have been used with civil structures since the 1980s, mostly in the repair, strengthening and retrofitting of concrete structures. This has attracted considerable research, and the industry has expanded exponentially in the last decade. Design guidelines have been developed by professional organizations in a number of countries including USA, Japan, Europe and China, but until now designers have had no publication which provides practical guidance or accessible coverage of the fundamentals. This book fills this void. It deals with the fundamentals of composites, and basic design principles, and provides step-by-step guidelines for design. Its main theme is the repair and retrofit of un-reinforced, reinforced and prestressed concrete structures using carbon, glass and other high strength fibre composites. In the case of beams, the focus is on their strengthening for flexure and shear or their stiffening. The main interest with columns is the improvement of their ductility; and both strengthening and ductility improvement of un-reinforced structures are covered. Methods for evaluating the strengthened structures are presented. Step by step procedures are set out, including flow charts, for the various structural components, and design examples and practice problems are used to illustrate. As infrastructure ages worldwide, and its demolition and replacement becomes less of an option, the need for repair and retrofit of existing facilities will increase. Besides its audience of design professionals, this book suits graduate and advanced undergraduate students.

Book Load deflection Response of Prestressed Concrete Beams Strengthened with FRP

Download or read book Load deflection Response of Prestressed Concrete Beams Strengthened with FRP written by Kimberly Waggle Kramer and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Currently, degradation of pretensioned prestressed reinforced concrete (PRC) bridge structures is a serious problem in the United States of America. Since 2000, the use of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) is well studied and has become an accepted method to rehabilitate concrete bridges. Design engineers use the ACI 440.2R-17 to determine strength requirements. Additionally, evaluating the deflection of strengthened PRC members is required during the restoration/strengthening design. ACI 440.2R-17 relies on ACI 318-19 for deflection calculations and limits prestressing from yielding under service load levels. This dissertation examines the application of the effective moment of inertia equation given in ACI 318-19 for the determination of deflection after cracking of PRC beams externally strengthened with carbon fiber reinforced polymers (CFRP). The results reported in this dissertation deal with the behavior of partially prestressed concrete beams strengthened with high strength composites. The three major parts discussed are experimental work, analytical investigations, and a parametric study. Experimental results obtained by other researchers were used to verify the results of the analytical procedures developed. The parametric study provides information on the moment-curvature and load-deflection behavior of strengthened pretensioned prestressed concrete flexural members externally strengthened with fiber-reinforced polymers that can be obtained for various concrete strengths, reinforcement ratios, and varying cross-sections. An analytical model was developed to predict the flexural rigidity of pretensioned, partially prestressed concrete beams that are externally strengthened with high strength composites. CFRP sheets were used for the derivation of equations. The proposed model is based on principles of mechanics and the sectional equations available for the analysis of partially prestressed beams. The model is applicable to the full range of prestressed concrete members covering partially and fully prestressed concrete, straight or harped strands, with or without supplemental mild-reinforcing steel, and varying loading conditions. The procedure can be used to generate the entire load-deflection response and through performing the moment-curvature analysis and estimation of stresses and strains in addition to computing the effective flexural stiffness of the strengthened prestressed member. Comparisons of experimental and analytical results show that deflection can be predicted with good accuracy using the developed modified effective moment of inertia equation. The parametric investigation was conducted on the effect of the basic variables namely, cross-section, concrete compressive strength, prestressing steel ratio, amount of carbon fibers, modulus of elasticity of prestressing steel-to-modulus of elasticity of CFRP ratio, modulus of elasticity of carbon fiber composite, spans, and shear span-to-span ratios. The goal of this investigation was conducted to understand the effect of CFRP strengthening to the flexural stiffness. Rectangular cross-sections with straight bonded prestressing tendons strengthened with 1 to 5 layers of unidirectional carbon sheets were analyzed in the parametric study. Lastly, the application of the proposed effective moment of inertia equation to bonded, pretensioned prestressed members, with harped strands depressed at midspan, externally strengthened with CFRP is examined in comparison with the experimental and analytical response curves.

Book Evaluation of CFRP Reinforced Prestressed Concrete Beams for Shear Behavior

Download or read book Evaluation of CFRP Reinforced Prestressed Concrete Beams for Shear Behavior written by Yassin Abbas and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) can be effectively utilized in structures as rods, sheets, bars, and tendons due to its high strength-to-weight ratio, non-corrosiveness, non-magnetic properties, and its flexibility. FRPs include carbon fiber-reinforced polymers (CFRPs), aramid fiber-reinforced polymers (AFRPs), and glass fiber-reinforced polymers (GFRPs). Previous studies have investigated these materials under various load conditions and in a variety of structures, including prestressed concrete beams reinforced with CFRP, which has the highest tensile modulus out of all the FRP varieties. The increasing popularity of FRP as a reinforcement particularly as prestressing tendons in concrete structures is prompting research to more accurately predict the behavior of such structures under various types of loading and boundary conditions. Although many studies have investigated the flexural behavior of beams reinforced with FRP, few studies have focused on their complex shear behavior. Design guidelines in the U.S. such as ACI440.4R-04 and AASHTO 2018 have been published to support the design of structures using FRP. The objective of this thesis was to evaluate these guidelines for accuracy in predicting nominal shear capacity using prestressed concrete beams reinforced with CFRP. This study also aimed to offer alternative solutions to improve calculations of nominal shear capacity for prestressed beams reinforced with CFRP tendons.

Book Flexural Design Methodology for Heterogenous and Composite UHPC Prestressed Concrete Beams with Bonded Tendons

Download or read book Flexural Design Methodology for Heterogenous and Composite UHPC Prestressed Concrete Beams with Bonded Tendons written by Anthony John Victor and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 71 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract This study deals with the flexural behavior of all UHPC and composite UHPC beams prestressed with bonded tendons. Flexural behavior is investigated numerically in terms of the failure mode for each beam type and in terms of the mobilization of material capacity . Stress in pre-stressing strands at the ultimate limit state is predicted using finite element analysis, strain compatibility, as well as closed form equations. It is investigated whether the strain compatibility approach and proposed closed form equations are able to predict with good accuracy the stress in strands at the ultimate limit state. It is determined whether the behavior of a composite bridge constructed with prestressed UHPC beams and a normal strength concrete deck is comparable to that when both the beam and the deck are constructed with UHPC. Various concrete strengths for the deck are investigated to yield a comparable performance with all UHPC construction to result in an economical solution without compromising capacity. For cases that feature all UHPC construction (i.e. the beam and the deck) the mobilization of the material strength at the ultimate limit state is investigated. Failure mode for each case is characterized either as a concrete compression controlled failure, or a concrete tension controlled failure using validated material constitutive models. A proposed design methodology for determining flexural capacity at the ultimate limit state is presented. The proposed methodology is validated using data obtained from over 150 girder sections investigated numerically using validated finite element models, and strain compatibility analysis. The benefits of composite construction featuring a normal weight concrete deck and a UHPC beam are demonstrated by conducting a parametric analysis and monitoring the flexural failure mode and the utilization of material capacity.
