Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This research investigated a new concept that uses fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP) composite grid to reinforce concrete structural members. Prefabricated two- and three-dimensional FRP grid structures were investigated as a possible alternative to conventional one-dimensional steel reinforcement rods. Currently available commercial grid manufacturing techniques were found to be inadequate due to material flaws, poor fiber volume fraction, and low strength and stiffness. Through laboratory investigations, significant improvements in fiber volume fraction in orthogrid and isogrid systems were achieved. Laboratory-scale samples demonstrated excellent results under loading tests. Concurrent investigations showed that although the FRP grid-reinforced concrete is more flexible than steel-reinforced concrete, its post failure deformation was pseudo-ductile, characterized by continuous structural deformation through multiple low-level brittle failures before the onset of catastrophic failure. It was also found that a combined concrete/composite reinforcement structure, with a higher volume of FRP composite fraction in the concrete, would substantially increase stiffness, load capacity, and postfailure concrete containmenL This study addressed not only the possible replacement of steel reinforcement with composite grids, but also investigated enhancement of the composite application through load-sharing with steel reinforcement in a complementary fashion. Various manufacturing improvements also were explored, including the novel use of disposable toolings.

Book Synopsis Design Procedures for the Use of Composites in Strengthening of Reinforced Concrete Structures by : Carlo Pellegrino
Download or read book Design Procedures for the Use of Composites in Strengthening of Reinforced Concrete Structures written by Carlo Pellegrino and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-08-25 with total page 406 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book analyses the current knowledge on structural behaviour of RC elements and structures strengthened with composite materials (experimental, analytical and numerical approaches for EBR and NSM), particularly in relation to the above topics, and the comparison of the predictions of the current available codes/recommendations/guidelines with selected experimental results. The book shows possible critical issues (discrepancies, lacunae, relevant parameters, test procedures, etc.) related to current code predictions or to evaluate their reliability, in order to develop more uniform methods and basic rules for design and control of FRP strengthened RC structures. General problems/critical issues are clarified on the basis of the actual experiences, detect discrepancies in existing codes, lacunae in knowledge and, concerning these identified subjects, provide proposals for improvements. The book will help to contribute to promote and consolidate a more qualified and conscious approach towards rehabilitation and strengthening existing RC structures with composites and their possible monitoring.

Book Synopsis Materials Characterisation Five by : Andrea Alberto Mammoli
Download or read book Materials Characterisation Five written by Andrea Alberto Mammoli and published by WIT Press. This book was released on 2011 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Until recently, engineering materials could be characterized successfully using relatively simple testing procedures. However, advanced materials technology has led to the development of materials with complex meso-, micro- and nano-structures that can no longer be characterised with simple testing procedures. Materials modelling and characterisation have become ever more closely intertwined. Characterisation, in essence, connects the abstract material model with the real-world behaviour of the material in question. Characterisation of complex materials often requires a combination of experimental and computational techniques. This book contains papers to be presented at the Fifth International Conference, convened to facilitate the sharing of recent work between researchers who use computational methods, those who perform experiments, and those who do both, in all areas of materials characterisation. The papers cover such topics as: Advances in composites; Thermal analysis; Nano-materials; Damage mechanics; Computational models and experiments; Mechanical characterisation and testing; Nano-composites; Energy materials; Chemo-mechanical problems; Innovative experiments; Recycled materials; and Corrosion problems.
Book Synopsis Manufacture and Design of Composite Grids by :
Download or read book Manufacture and Design of Composite Grids written by and published by . This book was released on 1997 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Grid structures have been in use for decades. Many were made of reinforced concrete or metals. Grids made of composite materials offer high stiffness and strength at low mass that are competitive with traditional composite laminates. Commonly available manufacturing processes such as filament winding, pultrusion and tubes made from female molds are used to produce composite grids. Cost effective grids can then be made in large sizes and quantities. Grids derive their global stiffness and strength from their ribs. They are fundamentally different from laminates which derive theirs from plies. The models for stiffness and failure modes can be viewed as simple extensions of laminated plate theory. It is hoped that grids will emerge as one of the common structural forms along with solid, stiffened and sandwich panels. Potential applications of composite grids are also mentioned.
