Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) can be effectively utilized in structures as rods, sheets, bars, and tendons due to its high strength-to-weight ratio, non-corrosiveness, non-magnetic properties, and its flexibility. FRPs include carbon fiber-reinforced polymers (CFRPs), aramid fiber-reinforced polymers (AFRPs), and glass fiber-reinforced polymers (GFRPs). Previous studies have investigated these materials under various load conditions and in a variety of structures, including prestressed concrete beams reinforced with CFRP, which has the highest tensile modulus out of all the FRP varieties. The increasing popularity of FRP as a reinforcement particularly as prestressing tendons in concrete structures is prompting research to more accurately predict the behavior of such structures under various types of loading and boundary conditions. Although many studies have investigated the flexural behavior of beams reinforced with FRP, few studies have focused on their complex shear behavior. Design guidelines in the U.S. such as ACI440.4R-04 and AASHTO 2018 have been published to support the design of structures using FRP. The objective of this thesis was to evaluate these guidelines for accuracy in predicting nominal shear capacity using prestressed concrete beams reinforced with CFRP. This study also aimed to offer alternative solutions to improve calculations of nominal shear capacity for prestressed beams reinforced with CFRP tendons.

This book was released on 2011 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ACI 318-08 building code allows to use the steel fiber reinforcement as alternative shear reinforcement with satisfying certain criteria when a beam is required minimum shear reinforcement. However, this provision applies to a nonprestressed and prestressed concrete beam such that it could be conservative since the shear strength of prestressed concrete beam is generally enhanced due to the prestressing force. This is due partially to the fact that the provision has been accepted based on researches, mostly conducted in nonprestressed concrete beam. Most of experiments conducted for prestressed concrete beam in small scale tests, with a height of specimens were less than 10 in. A larger scale of experiment is required due to concerns of size effect. In addition, in order to evaluate the qualification of a Steel Fiber Reinforced Concrete (SFRC) mixture used for structural applications, such as increasing shear resistance, a material evaluation method is essential. Currently ASTM or ACI Committee 544 (Fiber-Reinforced Concrete) does not recommend any standardized test method for evaluating shear performance of a particular SFRC material. This study addresses the research gaps described above by testing large-scale Steel Fiber Reinforced Prestressed Concrete (SFRPC) beams as well as developing a simple laboratory test techniques. A total 13 simply-supported beams for large-scale test with a shear span to effective depth ratio of 3.0 and a height of 24 in. were subjected to monotonically-increased, concentrated load. The test parameters were mainly included compressive strength, volume fraction of steel fibers, compressive reinforcement ratio. The results of large-scale test showed that the use of hooked steel fibers in a volume fraction greater than or equal to 0.50% volume fraction of steel fibers (67 lb per cubic yard), which is less than requirement by ACI 318-08 (0.75%, 100 lb per cubic yard), led to substantial enhancement of shear behaviors including the first cracking, the ultimate, and ductility. High compressive strength of SFRC, greater than 9000 psi, which is higher than ACI 318-08 requirement (less than 6000 psi) could be used as well. However, there was no significant effect from compressive reinforcement ratio. A simply shear test method for SFRC was proposed in this study. The test apparatus is almost exactly the same as the conventional ASTM bending test with only minor modification, in addition, it could simulate a pure shear stress by adjusting loading and support positions. By introducing a proper reinforcement for bending stress, it was possible to evaluate shear performance of SFRC with clear and uncomplicated shear stress field in the critical section.

Download or read book Shear Strength of Concrete Beams Prestressed with CFRP Cables written by Mirpayam Nabipaylashgari and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis investigates the shear capacity of concrete T-beams prestressed with CFRP cables (CFCC) and contributes to the scarce research available for shear behavior of FRP prestressed concrete beams. Four beams are tested under distributed load, while twelve beams are tested under four point bending. Three different a/d ratios of 1.5, 2.5 and 3.5 are investigated. The results show that the shear capacity of the beams increases significantly when a/d is reduced below 2.5. The effect of FRP stirrups on the shear capacity of the beams is investigated and it is shown that the minimum required stirrups according to CSA-S6-10 are ineffective in deep beams with a/d = 1.5. The accuracy of current North American shear design formulas for FRP prestressed concrete beams subjected to four-point bending and distributed load is evaluated. The available strut and tie models are studied for determining the shear capacity of FRP prestressed deep beams.

This book was released on 2014 with total page 446 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The use of externally bounded Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) for strengthening existing RC structures has shown promising results. Although CFRP materials have high tensile strength, the ability to utilize that strength is limited by debonding of the CFRP laminates from the concrete surface. In order to prevent or delay debonding, CFRP anchors were used to provide an alternative means of transferring forces from CFRP strips to the concrete. Previous tests on prestressed I-girders strengthened with uni-directional and bi-directional CFRP strips showed that bi-directional CFRP application resulted in significant shear strength gain in comparison to a uni-directional application. The objective of this thesis is to evaluate the behavior of reinforced concrete beams strengthened in shear with bi-directional CFRP strips and CFRP anchors so that the findings from the previous work can be understood and implemented. Four 24 in. deep T-beams were fabricated at the Phil M. Ferguson Structural Engineering Laboratory at The University of Texas at Austin. Eight tests were conducted on these specimens to examine the effect of the bi-directional layout of CFRP on the shear strength. Specimens with 14-in. web width were selected as a part of the experimental program to allow for direct comparison with test results from the previous project. Additional beams with a web width of 8 in. were included to evaluate thinner webs similar to those in the I-girders. Test results indicate a significant increase in shear strength due to the bi-directional application of CFRP strips with CFRP anchors installed on beams with a shear span-to-depth ratio (a/d) of 3. Substantial shear strength gain up to 62% was achieved in beams with 14-in. webs. and up to 43% for beams with 8-in. webs. However, negligible shear strength gain was observed in beams with a/d of 1.5 (deep beams). Experimental test results demonstrate an interaction between the contribution of concrete, transverse steel and CFRP to the shear resistance of a reinforced concrete beam. The findings of this research contribute to a better understanding of the shear behavior of reinforced concrete members strengthened with externally bonded CFRP applied bi-directionally. Experimental results from this research project provide data needed in the field of CFRP shear strengthening since limited data are available on large-scale tests.

This book was released on 2011 with total page 810 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objective of this research is the evaluation of shear behavior of full-scale reinforced concrete T-beams strengthened with carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) sheets and CFRP anchors. Although the CRFP material has high tensile strength, premature failure due to debonding CFRP sheets prevents utilizing that strength. The use of CFRP anchors prevents this failure, so the CFRP sheets are able to reach ultimate strain. The current shear design is based on plasticity, which assumes that all steel (ductile material) stirrups, across the critical section yield at ultimate. However the strain in the CFRP (brittle material), is essential to estimate the shear contribution of CFRP. To evaluate the validity of CFRP strengthening for shear, 24 tests were conducted with several parameters including shear-span-to-depth ratio, depth of beams, different transverse reinforcement ratios, and the layout of CFRP strips. In addition, a simple shear behavior model was developed to explain the differences between ductile and brittle material. From test observation, the use of CFRP anchors resulted in U-wrap application to perform like continuous wrapping which implies that a CFRP strip reached rupture strain because the anchors prevented debonding failure. However, all FRP strips did not rupture simultaneously because the strain distribution across a critical crack was not uniform. The average strain across the critical crack was about 0.005. Therefore a conservative value of effective strain (0.004) was selected for design purposes. In addition, when a beam is strengthened with CFRP, interactions between the contributions of the CFRP, steel or concrete must be taken into account. Factors ka, ks, and kf were introduced in the proposed shear design equations. Factor ka reflects the change in the material contributions as the shear span to depth ratio (a/d ratio) changes in deep beams. Factors ks and kf account for the change in steel or CFRP shear contribution due to the change in the critical crack angle as well as the interactions between the steel and FRP transverse reinforcement. As the amount of either steel or FRP material increase, the efficiency of the other material decreases.

This book was released on 2012 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Steel fibers have widely been used in the past to reinforce brittle materials in many nonstructural applications such as pavement, tunneling lining, etc. On the basis of numerous previous studies, ACI 318-11 [2011] has recently accepted steel fiber as a minimum shear reinforcement replacement with minimum 0.75% volume fraction for both reinforced concrete and prestressed concrete members. However, not much previous research has talked about the flexural behavior of fiber reinforced concrete (FRC). As per ACI 318-11 for tension-controlled sections, the net tensile strains in the outermost layer of steel, et, should be greater than or equal to 0.005 and for the moment redistribution in continuous beam the section should sufficiently ductile (et [greater or equal to] 0.0075). For this, the sections should have small longitudinal reinforcement ratio which ultimately leads to an inefficient beam section with a large cross-sectional area. In contrast, the use of smaller concrete cross sections can lead to a diminished ductile flexural behavior as well as premature shear failure. In this context, the use of steel fiber reinforced concrete could be a potential solution since fiber can increase both the concrete shear strength and it's usable compressive strains. However limited previous researches on the flexural behavior on SFRC beams are available and most of them are of small scales and concentrated only basically for shear behavior. To the best of our knowledge, the large-scale prestressed fiber reinforced concrete beam specimens have yet to be studied for flexure behavior. In this project, six large scale prestressed concrete beams with or without steel fiber along with some material test were tested. Our experimental investigations indicated that even with inclusion of small percentage volume of fraction of steel fiber (Vf =0.75%) could not only increase the ductility and shear strength of the SFRPC beam but also change the failure pattern by increasing usable strain in concrete and steel. A modification on the limit for c/dt ratio and [phi] factor for design of flexural member given in current ACI could be proposed which could imply the smaller sections with higher longitudinal reinforcement ratio and less shear reinforcement. could be used. Any standard material test results have to ensure that FRC has, at least, been batched properly and it can give indications of probable performance when used in structures. In the current material testing method suggested by ACI, the third point bending test (ASTM C1609) has an inherent problem in that the coefficients of variations for post cracking strength and residual strength are generally very high on the order of 20%. The direct tensile test can be a more appropriate material. However, it is currently not recommended as standard method in the U.S. Because of it's difficultly in gripping arrangement which will lead to cracking of the specimen at the grips. Both the test methods also require close loop servo controlled machine. The round panel test method (ASTM C1550) requires large size specimen and heavy steel supports prevents performing test in small laboratories. Split cylinder test (ASTM C496), do not necessarily reflect the true properties of the material as the specimen is forced to fail in the line of the application of the load and the test method is also not recommended by ACI for SFRC. In order to improve the material assessment procedure, the double Punch Test (DPT) introduced by Chen in 1970 [Chen, 1970] was extensively evaluated to develop a simple, quick and reliable testing method for SFRC. Various tests were carried out in order to evaluate peak and residual strength, stiffness, strain hardening and softening, toughness and other post crack properties. Our test results indicated that the DPT method could be immersed as reliable, easier and economical material test method. It could be used to distinguish the peak strength, residual strength, toughness stiffness and crack resistance, of different SFRC mixtures with less scatter results compared to other material test methods.

This book was released on 2009 with total page 544 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fifteen tests were conducted to evaluate the shear performance of beams with carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) laminates and CFRP anchors. The specimens consisted of 24-in. deep T-beams. The specimens were strengthened in shear with CFRP laminates that were anchored using several different CFRP end anchorage details. Load was applied to the reinforced concrete members at three different shear span-to-depth ratios. Observations of the behavior and data from the tests were used to evaluate the performance of the CFRP laminates and CFRP anchors. Overall, a 30-40% increase in shear strength was observed when anchored CFRP laminates were installed on members loaded at a shear span-to-depth ratio greater than two. The CFRP strengthening system performed well when properly detailed CFRP anchors were installed. Design recommendations regarding the installation of the CFRP anchors were developed. The CFRP anchorage detail developed in this study provided additional CFRP material in critical locations to reinforce the anchor and prevent premature failures from occurring due to anchor rupture. Theoretical calculations predicting the shear strength of the retrofitted concrete members were carried out and compared to the measured strengths of the members. Based on this analysis, a design equation was developed that produced conservative results for all of the specimens tested.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The high cost of repairing reinforced or prestressed concrete structures due to steel corrosion has driven engineers to look for solutions. Much research has been conducted over the last two decades to evaluate the use of Fiber Reinforced Polymers (FRPs) in concrete structures. Structural engineering researchers have been testing FRP to determine their usability instead of steel for strengthening existing reinforced concrete structures, reinforcing new concrete members, and for prestressed concrete applications. The high strength-to-weight ratio of FRP materials, especially Carbon FRP (CFRP), and their non-corrosive nature are probably the most attractive features of FRPs. In this study, an experimental program was conducted to investigate the flexural behavior of prestressed concrete beams pre-tensioned with CFRP strands. The bond characteristics were examined by means of experimentally measuring transfer length, flexural bond length, and bond stress profiles. A total of four rectangular beams pre-tensioned with one 0.5-in. diameter CFRP strand were fabricated and tested under cyclic loading for five cycles, followed by a monotonically increasing load until failure. In investigating bond properties, the experimental results were compared to the equations available in the literature. The results from the four flexural tests showed that the main problem of CFRP strands, in addition to their liner-elastic tensile behavior, was lack of adequate bonding between FRP and concrete. Poor bonding resulted in early failure due to slippage between FRPs and concrete. As a result, a new technique was developed in order to solve the bonding issues and improve the flexural response of CFRP prestressed concrete beams. The new technique involved anchoring the CFRP strands at the ends of the concrete beams using a new "steel tube" anchorage system. It was concluded that the new technique solved the bond problem and improved the flexural capacity by about 46%. A computer model was created to predict the behavior of prestressed beams pre-tensioned with CFRP. The predicted behavior was compared to the experimental results. Finally, the experimental results were compared to the behavior of prestressed concrete beams pre-tensioned with steel strands as generated by the computer model. The CFRP beams showed higher strength but lower ductility.
