Book Eexperimental and Numerical Studies on Behaviour of Frp Strengthened Deep Beams with Openings

Download or read book Eexperimental and Numerical Studies on Behaviour of Frp Strengthened Deep Beams with Openings written by and published by . This book was released on with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reinforced concrete deep beams are widely used as transfer girders in offshore structures and foundations, walls of bunkers and load bearing walls in buildings. The presence of web openings in such beams is frequently required to provide accessibility such as doors and windows or to accommodate essential services such as ventilating and air conditioning ducts. Enlargement of such openings due to architectural/mechanical requirements and/or a change in the building's function would reduce the element's shear capacity, thus rendering a severe safety hazard. Limited studies have been reported in the literature on the behavior and strength of RC deep beams with openings. When such enlargement is unavoidable adequate measures should be taken to strengthen the beam and counteract the strength reduction. The present experimental investigation deals with the study of deep beams containing openings and the validation of results with FEM model using ANSYS. A total of 5 deep beams with openings are casted without shear reinforcements and are tested under three-point loading. Test specimen has a cross section of 150x460 mm and a total length of 1200 mm. Two circular openings, one in each shear span, are placed symmetrically about the mid-point of the beam. The structural response of RC deep beams with openings was primarily dependent on the degree of the interruption of the natural load path. Externally bonded GFRP shear strengthening around the openings was found very effective in upgrading the shear strength of RC deep beams. The strength gain caused by the GFRP sheets was in the range of 68-125%. Finite element modeling of RC deep beams containing openings strengthened with GFRP sheets is studied using ANSYS and the results are compared with experimental findings.

Book Strengthening of Reinforced Concrete Structures

Download or read book Strengthening of Reinforced Concrete Structures written by L C Hollaway and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 1999-03-05 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The in situ rehabilitation or upgrading of reinforced concrete members using bonded steel plates is an effective, convenient and economic method of improving structural performance. However, disadvantages inherent in the use of steel have stimulated research into the possibility of using fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) materials in its place, providing a non-corrosive, more versatile strengthening system.This book presents a detailed study of the flexural strengthening of reinforced and prestressed concrete members using fibre reinforces polymer composite plates. It is based to a large extent on material developed or provided by the consortium which studied the technology of plate bonding to upgrade structural units using carbon fibre / polymer composite materials. The research and trial tests were undertaken as part of the ROBUST project, one of several ventures in the UK Government's DTI-LINK Structural Composites Programme.The book has been designed for practising structural and civil engineers seeking to understand the principles and design technology of plate bonding, and for final year undergraduate and postgraduate engineers studying the principles of highway and bridge engineering and structural engineering. - Detailed study of the flexural strengthening of reinforced and prestressed concrete members using fibre reinforced polymer composites - Contains in-depth case histories

Book Effect of Opening with Various Size and Location on RC Deep Beam

Download or read book Effect of Opening with Various Size and Location on RC Deep Beam written by Sin Yang Siow and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study is about analysis of the behaviour of the reinforced concrete deep beam with different sizes of opening and different location of the opening by using ANSYS. The opening on RC deep beam is made for the mechanical and electrical purposes. Before the opening is made, it is important to know the optimum size and its location in order to prevent structural failure. The main objective of this study is to determine the effect of the opening size and its location on the reinforced concrete deep beam in terms of crack pattern and deflection. The study is conducted by using ANSYS 12.0. In this study, there are 7 models. There is one solid beam (DBS), three beams with different size of opening namely DBO1, DBO2 and DBO3, and three beams with opening but different location were designated as DBL1, DBL2 and DBL3. The three point test was used for the analysis. The loading used for the analysis is axial load. The deflection and the crack pattern obtained from the ANSYS were used for discussion. Based on the result, the deflection of the RC deep beam was increase in 31.2% as the opening size increase in 60%. For the different location of opening, as the location of opening move from 350mm to centre of the RC deep beam, the deflection of the RC deep beam was increased in 31.8%. In conclusion, the most appropriate location of the opening on RC deep beam is the place where far away from the loading.
