This book was released on 2016 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Extensive research has been conducted on strengthening of shear-critical reinforced concrete (RC) beams, particularly using fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) strengthening systems. This previous research has helped to better understand the behaviour of shear strengthening systems and has improved the performance of existing shear strengthening systems. However, there is still a potential to further improve upon the performance of existing shear strengthening systems. A cement-based composite system is an innovative strengthening system that has similar benefits (such as light weight, ease of installation and non-corroding) to FRP systems, but overcomes some of the draw backs (such as poor compatibility with concrete substrate, lack of vapour permeability and fire resistance) of using epoxy as bonding agent in FRP systems. A cement-based composite replaces the epoxy with cementitious mortar and the fiber sheets with fabric or grids. The current study presents the results of an experimental study conducted to investigate the effectiveness of cement-based composite systems in comparison to an existing epoxy-based system (carbon fiber reinforced polymer, CFRP) to strengthen shear-critical RC beams. Two types of cement-based systems were investigated in this study: carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) grid embedded in mortar (CGM) and carbon fabric reinforced cementitious mortar (CFRCM). The experimental study consisted of two phases. Phase I focused on flexural testing of seven medium-scale shear-critical reinforced concrete (RC) beams. The objective of this phase was to evaluate the potential of FRCM shear strengthening. The test variables included the type of FRCM (carbon FRCM or CFRCM and glass FRCM or GFRCM) and the strengthening scheme (side bonded vs. U-wrapped). Phase II was designed based on results of Phase I study, and it consisted of flexural testing of twenty (20) large-scale shear-critical RC beams strengthened with cement-based systems. The objective of this phase was to evaluate the effectiveness of the two types of cement-based strengthening systems in comparison to the existing epoxy-based FRP system. The test variables included: the shear span to depth ratio (slender and deep beams), amount of internal transverse steel reinforcement and type of strengthening system (CFRCM, CGM and CFRP). The results showed that the cement-based systems (CFRP grid in mortar and CFRCM) performed better compared to the epoxy-based system (CFRP sheet) in terms of the increase in shear capacity relative to the ultimate strength of the strengthening systems. The results also showed that the bond of cement-based system with the concrete substrate was sufficient that u-wrapping may not be required; the studied side-bonded systems did not exhibit signs of premature debonding. This is in contrast to most FRP fabric strengthening systems were u-wrapping is required for adequate bond. In addition, cement-based systems exhibited a better ability to control diagonal (shear) crack widths compared to the epoxy-based system tested, providing a greater reduction in diagonal crack width despite the relative lower ultimate strength and stiffness of the cement-based systems. Shear strengthening resulted in reduced shear strength contribution from stirrups. The strengthened beams with stirrups exhibited steeper shear cracks compared to control unstrengthened beams with stirrups. Similarly, the presence of stirrups reduces the shear strength contribution from strengthening. Again, the addition of stirrups results in steeper shear cracks which intersect fewer fibers tows in the strengthening system which results in a reduced shear strength contribution from strengthening layer. Lastly, the existing models to predict the ultimate load of strengthened shear-critical RC beams were evaluated and modifications to these methods were proposed.

This book was released on 2001 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many studies conducted on the use of Fibre Reinforced Polymer (FRP) sheets for shear strengthening have been completed on beams that are small in relation to the effective bond length of the FRP. This study focuses on the use of FRP sheets for large-scale concrete members. Two series of large scale concrete beams were strengthened in shear to develop a better understanding of the behaviour of FRP shear strengthening on large specimens and to develop a means of predicting the shear capacity for all sizes of members. The first series of three specimens were obtained from a full sized I-section prestressed concrete bridge girder. One of these specimens was tested as a control, with the remaining two strengthened for shear with different configurations of Carbon Fibre Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) sheets. To develop a better understanding of bond behaviour of large-scale specimens, three reinforced concrete T-section beams were fabricated with a web height that was larger than those found in the literature. One of these beams was strengthened in shear using Glass Fibre Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) sheets and two others were strengthened using CFRP sheets. These beams were tested under static loading conditions. (Abstract shortened by UMI.).

This book was released on 2008-07-18 with total page 415 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The repair of deteriorated, damaged and substandard civil infrastructures has become one of the most important issues for the civil engineer worldwide. This important book discusses the use of externally-bonded fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites to strengthen, rehabilitate and retrofit civil engineering structures, covering such aspects as material behaviour, structural design and quality assurance.The first three chapters of the book review structurally-deficient civil engineering infrastructure, including concrete, metallic, masonry and timber structures. FRP composites used in rehabilitation and surface preparation of the component materials are also reviewed. The next four chapters deal with the design of FRP systems for the flexural and shear strengthening of reinforced concrete (RC) beams and the strengthening of RC columns. The following two chapters examine the strengthening of metallic and masonry structures with FRP composites. The last four chapters of the book are devoted to practical considerations in the flexural strengthening of beams with unstressed and prestressed FRP plates, durability of externally bonded FRP composite systems, quality assurance and control, maintenance, repair, and case studies.With its distinguished editors and international team of contributors, Strengthening and rehabilitation of civil infrastructures using fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites is a valuable reference guide for engineers, scientists and technical personnel in civil and structural engineering working on the rehabilitation and strengthening of the civil infrastructure. - Reviews the use of fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites in structurally damaged and sub-standard civil engineering structures - Examines the role and benefits of fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites in different types of structures such as masonry and metallic strengthening - Covers practical considerations including material behaviour, structural design and quality assurance

This book was released on 2008 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Current ACI design provisions for shear in reinforced concrete (RC) beams strengthened with externally bonded carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) U-wraps may not adequately account for the effect of scale. This paper describes tests of 6 geometrically scaled beams to identify possible scale effects of such beams. Results indicated that effective depth (d), shear span-to-depth ratio (a/d), flexural-tension steel reinforcement ratio (pf), transverse steel reinforcement ratio (pv), FRP reinforcement ratio (pf), FRP strip width (wf) and U-wrap orientation may affect the shear capacity of scaled specimens. In addition, local strain variations in surface bonded CFRP are investigated and recommendations on how to quantify CFRP strain are provided.
