Book Shear Behaviour of Continuous Concrete Beams Reinforced with GFRP Bars

Download or read book Shear Behaviour of Continuous Concrete Beams Reinforced with GFRP Bars written by Karam Abdou Awad Mahmoud and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Continuous beams represent main structural elements in most reinforced concrete (RC) structures such as parking garages and overpass bridges. Deterioration of such structures due to corrosion of steel reinforcement is common in North America. To overcome the corrosion problems, the use of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) bars and stirrups becomes a viable alternative to steel reinforcement. However, to date, the shear behaviour of FRP-RC continuous beams has not been explored yet. As such, the objective of this study is to investigate the shear behaviour of such beams. In this study, twenty four full-scale continuous concrete beams were constructed and tested. The test beams had rectangular cross section with 200-mm width and a height of 300, 550 or 850 mm and were continuous over two equal spans. The main investigated parameters were concrete strength, type and ratio of longitudinal reinforcement, type and ratio of transverse reinforcement and beam effective depth. Moreover, a 3-D nonlinear finite element model (FEM) was constructed to simulate the behaviour of FRP-RC continuous beams. The model was verified against the experimental results and validated against test results from previous studies. Then, the verified/validated model was used to conduct a parametric study to investigate the effect of a wide range of the parameters on the shear behaviour of GFRP-RC beams. The experimental and FEM results showed that shear-critical GFRP-RC continuous beams exhibited moment redistribution. Also, it was observed that increasing the concrete strength and the longitudinal reinforcement ratio increased the shear strength significantly. Moreover, the presence of GFRP stirrups significantly enhanced the shear strength of the tested beams. Regarding the size effect, test results showed that there was adverse or no size effect on the shear strength of GFRP-RC continuous beams when they failed in the interior shear span while beams failed in the exterior shear span exhibited clear size effect. Furthermore, a comparison between the test results and the provisions of the available models and FRP standards and design guidelines in North America revealed that these design provisions can be safely applied to continuous beams.

Book Composites for Construction

Download or read book Composites for Construction written by Lawrence C. Bank and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2006-07-21 with total page 572 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first textbook on the design of FRP for structural engineering applications Composites for Construction is a one-of-a-kind guide to understanding fiber-reinforced polymers (FRP) and designing and retrofitting structures with FRP. Written and organized like traditional textbooks on steel, concrete, and wood design, it demystifies FRP composites and demonstrates how both new and retrofit construction projects can especially benefit from these materials, such as offshore and waterfront structures, bridges, parking garages, cooling towers, and industrial buildings. The code-based design guidelines featured in this book allow for demonstrated applications to immediately be implemented in the real world. Covered codes and design guidelines include ACI 440, ASCE Structural Plastics Design Manual, EUROCOMP Design Code, AASHTO Specifications, and manufacturer-published design guides. Procedures are provided to the structural designer on how to use this combination of code-like documents to design with FRP profiles. In four convenient sections, Composites for Construction covers: * An introduction to FRP applications, products and properties, and to the methods of obtaining the characteristic properties of FRP materials for use in structural design * The design of concrete structural members reinforced with FRP reinforcing bars * Design of FRP strengthening systems such as strips, sheets, and fabrics for upgrading the strength and ductility of reinforced concrete structural members * The design of trusses and frames made entirely of FRP structural profiles produced by the pultrusion process

Book EFFECT OF COMBINED SHEAR  BENDING AND LOW AXIAL LOAD ON BEHAVIOR OF CONCRETE BEAMS REINFORCED WITH GLASS FIBER REINFORCED POLYMER BARS

Download or read book EFFECT OF COMBINED SHEAR BENDING AND LOW AXIAL LOAD ON BEHAVIOR OF CONCRETE BEAMS REINFORCED WITH GLASS FIBER REINFORCED POLYMER BARS written by Senthil Kumar Velkumar and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This research's main objective was to investigate the effect of combined bending and shear behavior of the concrete beams reinforced with glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars subjected to low axial load less than 10% beams axial capacity. Analytical and experimental study was performed for nine full-scale reinforced concrete beam specimens of size 330 x 430 x 3100 mm casted using sand coated GFRP bars with different reinforcement ratios of 1.7, 2.5 and 3.3%. The specimens were tested under four-point bending, and low axial compressive loading was applied at beam both ends. The analytical model was developed using PTC MATHCAD Prime to analyze the beams' behavior, verified by the experimental investigation. The analytical study results of the beam interaction diagram from all cases show that moment carrying capacity of the beams typically decreases by adding axial load in the range of 2.0 to 4.0% of the axial capacity of the sections.

Book The Behaviour of GFRP reinforced Concrete Beams in Shear

Download or read book The Behaviour of GFRP reinforced Concrete Beams in Shear written by Laurent Massam and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The research and experimental program presented in this thesis had as objectives: To investigate the behaviour of GFRP reinforced concrete beams in shear. To investigate the sensitivity of GFRP reinforced concrete to size effect. To evaluate the applicability of existing and newly developed design and analysis methods such as the American ACI 440, the Canadian CSA S806, the interim 2000 AASHTO and Response-2000. The following conclusions were derived from the results of the experimental program. (1) The shear behaviour of GFRP reinforced beams is highly sensitive to the amount of longitudinal reinforcement. (2) The location of rupture of the transverse reinforcement is partly dependent on the number of layers of longitudinal reinforcement. (3) Beams reinforced with GFRP reinforcing bars are more sensitive to size effect than equivalent steel reinforced concrete beams. (4) The ACI 440 and CSA S806 recommendations are conservative estimates. AASHTO and Response-2000 were able to predict the behaviour more accurately than the ACI 440 and the CSA S806 methods.
