Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are many reasons to upgrade an existing structure such as building code changes, accidents, design errors or building use changes. Few years ago the construction industry began using fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) for structural reinforcement, typically in combination with other building materials such as wood, steel and concrete. FRP show multiple attractive properties, such as low weight to strength ratio, non-corrosiveness high fatigue strength, and case of application. This study investigated different techniques to improve the performance of RC deep beams under two concentrated vertical loads using advanced composite materials (CFRP and GFRP sheets). The primary aim of this research was to study the behaviour of deep beams strengthened and repaired in shear using carbon and glass fibres.Thirteen RC deep beam specimens were simply supported with span lengths L=1500 mm and cross sections 140 x 450 mm. The tested beams were subjected to the effects of two concentrated loads with spacing of 560, 360 and 160 mm and were divided into five groups. The test results show that the deep beams strengthened by CFRP sheets & GFRP sheets provided improvement in ultimate loads. The maximum increase in ultimate loads reached 106% & 81% respectively and the decrease in deflection for beams was attributed to the type, configurations and orientation of the FRP sheets. An analytical model was done based on code equations to predict the deformational behaviour of RC deep beams shear-strengthened with FRP composites , and obtain the failure loads by using three codes equations and compare the results with the experimental results. The proposed analytical model gave good compliance with the experimental results.

This book was released on 2015 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This research deals with the experimental study of the behaviour of reinforced concrete deep beams with or without large rectangular openings as well as openings strengthened using externally bonded Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) composites in shear. The structural behaviour, including the load deflection, cracking patterns, failure mode, and effectiveness of the CFRP wraps were investigated. A total of four (4) specimens of beams with compressive strength of 35 MPa were tested to induce shear failure under 4 points loading test, which included one solid deep beam acted as a control beam (CB), one of which was tested without strengthening (US-BRO), and the remaining beams were strengthened with CFRP wraps in varying configurations around the opening (S-BRO-1, S-BRO-2). The beam had a cross section of 120 mm in width and 600 mm in depth as well as a length of 2400 mm. All the test specimens had a same geometry, main reinforcement arrangements and openings location. All the preparatory works of specimen materials were conducted in Laboratory FKASA. The examined parameter was the effect of configurations of the CFRP wraps used for the shear strengthening. The inclusion of un-strengthened large rectangular openings in the shear zone of a reinforced concrete deep beam leads to a reduction of ultimate beam strength by approximately 70%. The application of CFRP wraps with the presented strengthening configurations restricted the propagation of the diagonal crack and effectively increases ultimate load-carrying capacity as well as the ductility of the beam. The strength re-gains by U-shaped strengthening configuration around the openings was approximately 36% as compared to the beam with un-strengthened openings. However, the deep beam with U-shaped CFRP with horizontal fiber strengthened at the top and bottom chords of the openings were not capable to restore the control beam's original structural strength remarkably. The beam only managed to re-gain about 41% of the control beam's capacity.

This book was released on 2015 with total page 71 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Typically, the reinforced concrete (RC) deep beam with large openings are facing some severe problems such as the interruption of natural load transfer by concrete struts acting in compression which can cause an intensive reduction in strength; and the clearly visible cracks in serviceability conditions. The CFRP has become an alternative solution to this issue and being extensively used as an external reinforcement to resolve the strength requirements in structural systems due to extremely strong yet light weight, outstanding fatigue properties, excellent corrosion resistance and easy yet efficient application on concrete. This experimental study is focuses on the investigation of the effect of CFRP wrap in strengthening RC deep beams with large square openings located in shear zone. Three approaches are under consideration; the first is the determination of natural load transfer in normal deep beam without opening, the second is the large square openings in deep beam without CFRP strengthening, and the third is the large square openings in deep beam with CFRP attached around the openings. A total of four RC deep beams which included a solid RC control beam, a deep beam with two large square openings, and two beams with two large square openings strengthened by using CFRP strips in different strengthening configurations, were tested to failure under four point loading to determine the relative structural behaviour such as ultimate load, failure mode, crack patterns, and load deflection behaviour. All RC deep beams were designed in a dimension of 120 x 600 mm and 2400 mm in length. The width and height of large square openings were in a dimension of 270 x 270 mm and located 300 mm from the edge of the deep beam. The loading point and support were located at 800 mm and 300 mm from the edge of the deep beam, respectively. RC deep beam with large square openings, US-BSO was significantly reduced the beam capacity by 61.76 % as compared to solid control beam, CB. However, the RC deep beam with large square openings strengthened by CFRP strips wrapped in U-shaped, SU-BSO has increases the beam capacity by 62.77 % compared to US-BSO. From the results obtained, it was found that the most effective CFRP strengthening method for RC deep beam with large square openings was U-shaped, which recovered the beam capacity up to 62.24 % as compared to solid control beam.

This book was released on 2019 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This research presents an analytical and experimental investigation for the use of flexural CFRP sheets as a strengthening technique to improve the shear capacity of reinforced concrete deep beams. The analytical work presents a new analysis method that is developed to predict the response of reinforced concrete deep beams with and without flexural CFRP strengthening. The method utilizes the truss analogy approach that is extended from the Strut-and-Tie Model (STM) for unstrengthened beams. In contrary to STM, the new method is used to capture the full structural response of unstrengthened beams by modeling a single truss. On the other hand, the new method is used to predict the entire response of strengthened beams by assuming the beam to be composed of two parallel compatible trusses. The first truss has its lower chord member composed of the steel bars while the second truss has its lower chord member composed of the flexural CFPR sheets. By imposing the compatibility condition of a statically indeterminate truss, the contribution of each truss is realized. The experimental work was conducted on three deep beam specimens with identical rectangular cross-sectional area. The first beam was tested as a control beam, and the other two beams were strengthened in flexure with four layers of flexural CFRP sheets anchored by two different flexural anchorage devices. The first strengthened beam was anchored with GFRP patches applied to both sides of the beam. The second strengthened beam was anchored with side GFRP bars inserted longitudinally to both sides of the beam. The comparison between the analytical and experimental results showed reasonable agreement and asserted the validity of the analytical approach and methodology developed in this study.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Worldwide, a great deal of research is currently being conducted concerning the use of fiber reinforced plastic wraps, laminates and sheets in the repair and strengthening of reinforced concrete members. Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) application is a very effective way to repair and strengthen structures that have become structurally weak over their life span. FRP repair systems provide an economically viable alternative to traditional repair systems and materials. Experimental investigations on the flexural and shear behavior of RC beams strengthened using continuous glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) sheets are carried out. Externally reinforced concrete beams with epoxy-bonded GFRP sheets were tested to failure using a symmetrical two point concentrated static loading system. Two sets of beams were casted for this experimental test program. In SET I three beams weak in flexure were casted, out of which one is controlled beam and other two beams were strengthened using continuous glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) sheets in flexure. In SET II three beams weak in shear were casted, out of which one is the controlled beam and other two beams were strengthened using continuous glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) sheets in shear. The strengthening of the beams is done with different amount and configuration of GFRP sheets. Experimental data on load, deflection and failure modes of each of the beams were obtained. The detail procedure and application of GFRP sheets for strengthening of RC beams is also included. The effect of number of GFRP layers and its orientation on ultimate load carrying capacity and failure mode of the beams are investigated.

This book was released on 2015 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This experimental research was conducted to study the behaviour of unstrengthen RC deep beams with openings and strengthened using Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP). Strengthening configuration of CFRP-wrap used in this study were U-wrap and surface-wrap which applied with one layer of CFRP and in vertical alignment (90o). Four RC deep beams which included a solid control beam, a beam with two large circular openings, beams with two large circular openings strengthened using U-wrap and surface-wrap were tested to failure under four-point loading. All the beam specimens were in a dimension of 120 x 600 mm and 2400 mm in length. The support and loading point were located at 300 mm and 800 mm from the edge of the RC deep beams, respectively. Circular openings was designed with a standard of 0.45h which considered as large circular openings in a diameter of 270 mm that located 435 mm from the edge of the RC deep beams. Shear span-to-depth ratio (a/h) in this study was 0.83 in which the distance between the loading point and the support was 500 mm in order for the beam specimens to fail in shear region. RC deep beam with large circular openings, NS-BCO greatly reduced the beam strength, approximately 51.20 % as compared to the control beam. On the other hand, RC deep beam with circular openings strengthened using U-wrap, UW-BCO increases the beam strength up to almost 85.0 % as compared to NS-BCO. Hence, the most effective strengthening method was U-wrap, UW-BCO which re-gained the beam strength up to 90.28 % as compared to control beam.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Studies have shown that fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) wraps can improve the capacity of rectangular beam sections. This technology has potential application to highway bridges that may have less shear capacity than flexural capacity or require added load capacity to handle current traffic demands. Compared with steel repair materials FRP offers several benefits, such as corrosion resistance and field-workability. Several studies have investigated the use of externally bonded FRP sheets to improve strength and stiffness of reinforced concrete (R/C) beams, but most have addressed flexural strength, not shear. The objective of the current study was to test the effectiveness of FRP wraps in repairing full-scale prestressed high-strength concrete joists fabricated with insufficient shear reinforcement. Four prestressed high-strength concrete tee-beams (joists) with integral web openings were tested. Two of the joists were repaired or upgraded with FRP wraps to improve shear performance and two were used as control specimens. Performance criteria were specified, and standard structural engineering practice for shear design was employed to determine wrap thickness. The results of the tests indicate that significant increases in the shear strength of R/C beams with insufficient shear capacity can be achieved by proper application of FRP wraps.
