This book was released on 2013 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Results of tensile tests on FRP coupons indicate that both epoxy and polyurethane FRP systems do not degrade significantly under environmental exposure. However, flexural tests on the FRP strengthened concrete beams indicate that bond between FRP and concrete shows significant degradation, especially for aqueous exposure. Moreover, a protective coating suppresses the measured degradation. Also, experimental load-displacement curves for control beams show excellent agreement with numerical load-displacement curves obtained using the proposed bond model. Finally, a bond-slip model is predicted for concrete leachate conditioned beams by matching load-displacement curves for those beams with numerical load-displacement curves.

Book Synopsis Durability of Carbon Fibre Reinforced Polymer Concrete Bond Under Sustained Load in Harsh Environment by : Basim M. Mahdi Abbas
Download or read book Durability of Carbon Fibre Reinforced Polymer Concrete Bond Under Sustained Load in Harsh Environment written by Basim M. Mahdi Abbas and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 524 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Carbon Fibre Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) has great potential in civil engineering applications. It is used extensively in extending the structural capacity or service life of aging structures. CFRP is one of the best alternatives to traditional retrofitting materials. It has a very high strength-to-weight ratio with good resistance to environmental effects. Together with the fibres, the adhesive and the substratum are the main constituents of the CFRP bonding systems. However, with high quality plated CFRP, the latter two components introduce some doubts about the system's performance. There is therefore a crucial research need to investigate the effects of environmental exposures on the system under loading conditions. In the present work, the effects of extreme environmental exposures on the bond properties between externally-applied carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) and concrete were investigated. Preloaded CFRP-concrete samples at various load intensities were exposed to several conditions. The exposure conditions were temperature cycles with humidity, constant temperature at increasing humidity, soaking in saline water at different temperatures, and different salt concentrations. Finally, actual extreme marine site environments including direct exposure to sunlight were explored. The change of bond characteristics between the externally-applied CFRP and concrete due to permanent loads, aging, and exposure conditions were used as measures of degradation effects. Other properties such as the development of the strain field with load, bond-slip relationships, detection of cracking intensity and location were evaluated using photogrammetry and acoustic emission techniques. Tensile pull-out and torsional shear strength were also explored. A Neural Network method was implemented for the prediction of bond strength and the expected failure of preloaded samples in different environments. The objective of the study was to understand the behaviour of preloaded concrete-CFRP bonding systems and evaluate the changes in the bond properties due to combinations of factors in harsh environments. It was found that high temperature and the combined aggressive site conditions were the major factors leading to sample failure.

Book Synopsis Design Guidelines for Durability of Bonded CFRP Repair/strengthening of Concrete Beams by :
Download or read book Design Guidelines for Durability of Bonded CFRP Repair/strengthening of Concrete Beams written by and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 53 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This research provides a methodology for evaluation of durability related strength loss of bonded carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) systems applied to concrete beams. The report addresses test methods to establish a durability strength reduction factor, identification of corresponding field exposure conditions affecting durability, and suggestions for the application of the durability strength reduction factor for design of field applications. The durability strength reduction factor is a measure of the loss in strength over time due to environmental exposure. It is defined as the ratio of the flexural strength of a 4 in. x 4 in. x 14 in. concrete beam reinforced with CFRP exposed at 140°F and submerged in water or 100% relative humidity for 60 days to the flexural strength of a control specimen. The resulting durability strength reduction factor may be used to evaluate CFRP system performance. Two field environments are suggested: Wet and Air. In a Wet environment water accumulates at the bond surface. This is the default condition and corresponds to test results in submerged water at 140°F for 60 days. An Air environment allows drying between wetting episodes so water cannot accumulate on the bond surface. This condition corresponds to test results in 100% relative humidity at 140°F for 60 days.

This book was released on 2011 with total page 770 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The attractive properties of carbon fibre reinforced polymers (CFRPs) have made such composites effective materials to use for the rehabilitation and strengthening of existing concrete structures. The wet-lay up method is the most commonly used installation technique for CFRP applications due to its many advantages, including flexibility in coping with different geometries. CF fabrics are adhesively saturated and glued to the concrete structure. The adhesive in the strengthening system transfers the stresses from the concrete member to the CFRP. Two-part thermosetting-based adhesives are commonly used for bonding CFRP to concrete elements and such adhesives are designed for ambient temperature curing. The performance of CFRP/concrete systems is affected by the operating temperature, and the adhesive is the element in the strengthened system most sensitive to the temperature effect, since the majority of bonding adhesives are of low glass transition temperature (Tg) materials. As this temperature is approached or exceeded, the integrity of the interfacial bond in the CFRP/concrete system diminishes rapidly due to deterioration in the adhesive properties caused by the loss of the ability to transfer stresses.Improvements in adhesive properties have been documented in the research literature in the aerospace and materials fields using many methods. These improvements are based on the fact that the modulus and Tg of polymers can be improved by increasing the cross-links (chemical bonds between the epoxy chains) in the polymer network, reducing the mobility of the polymer molecule segments, reducing the amount of un-reacted epoxy resin, and using nanomaterials as reinforcement. The incorporation of such modifiers to improve the properties of the adhesive used for infrastructure applications, namely for externally-bonded CF fabric to concrete members, needed to be investigated. In addition, the effect of applying such modified adhesives on the interfacial bond efficiency of CFRP/concrete system needed to be explored.The main focus of the work reported in the present study is the improvement of the thermo-mechanical properties of the adhesive used to bond CF fabric to concrete members. Reinforcement with two different types of nanomaterials was used to modify a commercially-available epoxy adhesive commonly used for externally bonding CF fabric to concrete substrates. Nanoclay (NC) and carbon nanofibres (VGCF) were chosen to modify the epoxy adhesive used in civil engineering applications because of their unique properties, including low cost, ready availability and high aspect ratio. Other types of modification were carried out by the use of highly cross-linked epoxy-based resin (DGOA) to replace partially and completely the monomer of the commercially-available epoxy adhesive for CFRP applications. Post-curing at high temperature and at moderately elevated temperatures was adopted to study the effect of such techniques on the adhesive properties, as well as on the interfacial bond of CFRP/concrete systems under different environmental conditions. The practicality of post-curing techniques was also studied by exploring the application of such techniques after different ambient curing periods.The influence of modification on pure adhesive properties was studied. The glass transition temperature of the epoxy adhesive with and without modification, measured by the Dynamic Mechanical Thermal Analysis (DMTA) and Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) techniques, was addressed, as well as storage modulus using DMTA. Tensile properties at various temperature levels were evaluated by testing adhesive coupons at these temperatures. Characterisation of the structure of the adhesive with and without modification was investigated by different techniques including X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) and Near-Infrared spectroscopy (NIR). The efficiency of the bond in the fabricated CFRP/concrete specimens using modified adhesives was explored by means of adhesion (pull-off) tests and single-lap shear tests at elevated temperatures and the failure loads and modes were analyzed. The integrity of the interfacial bond in loaded CFRP/concrete systems using modified adhesives was explored under harsh environmental conditions based on the combined effects of temperature and humidity. The practicality of post-curing applications was investigated by studying the properties of the adhesives and the bond performance of CFRP/concrete systems by post-curing at high temperatures and moderately elevated temperatures after different curing periods at ambient conditions. It was found that the chemical structure of the epoxy resin is an important parameter in the enhancement of the adhesive properties (Tg , modulus and tensile properties), hence the interfacial bond in CFRP/concrete systems. Nanomaterials were also found to enhance the modulus of the epoxy adhesive. Adequate bond performance in CFRP/concrete systems under different service conditions was achieved, even in the absence of the primer layer when a highly cross-linked epoxy adhesive was used for bonding. The application of post-curing at moderately elevated temperatures is recommended to improve the integrity of CFRP/concrete systems under severe environmental conditions. The outcomes of the experimental program provide a new understanding of the thermal behaviour of the adhesives used in civil engineering applications and allow recommendations for further applications at different environmental temperatures. In addition, the experimental work on the bond-slip relationships using post-curing techniques at moderately elevated temperatures provide guidelines for numerical simulations to be investigated in future studies of bond performance in the CFRP/concrete system.
Book Synopsis FRCM Composites for Strengthening Corrosion-damaged Structures by : Mohammed Elghazy
Download or read book FRCM Composites for Strengthening Corrosion-damaged Structures written by Mohammed Elghazy and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Corrosion of steel reinforcement is one of the most destructive mechanisms for reinforced concrete (RC) structures. Corrosion not only impairs the structural integrity and the serviceability of the damaged structure, but it may also lead to unexpected and brittle failures. Despite the rigorous provisions of most codes of practice to avoid corrosion, evidences of corrosion damage are still being reported. Recently, fabric-reinforced cementitious matrix (FRCM) systems were proposed as an innovative strengthening/repair technique for RC structures to overcome the drawbacks associated with the use of the well-documented fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) systems. While the use of FRCM composites to strengthen un-damaged RC members has proven its efficiency, very little is known about the viability of their use to retrofit RC members with various levels of corrosion damage. In addition, the post-repair performance and the long-term durability of the FRCM-strengthened corroded members, which most likely will be exposed to the same environmental conditions that have prevailed prior their repair, have not received attention in the literature. Moreover, most of our infrastructures such as bridges and parking garages are susceptible to corrosion damage while continuously being subjected to oscillatory loads that cause fatigue. To date, no information is available about the effect of combining fatigue loading with corrosion in FRCM-strengthened structures. In this work, the monotonic and fatigue flexural behaviors of corrosion-damaged RC beams strengthened with FRCM systems were investigated in addition to their long-term performance, i.e. after further exposure to corrosive environment following their strengthening. The work includes experimental and numerical investigations. The analytical predictions and theoretical formulations that are currently available in the design codes have been verified against the experimental results. The experimental program consisted of testing thirty (30) large-scale RC beams of 150×250×2800 mm. The beams were constructed and tested under four-point load configuration. An accelerated corrosion process was utilized to corrode the bottom steel reinforcement in the middle third of the test specimens. The test parameters included the level of corrosion damage (represented by 10, 20, and 30% mass loss in the tensile steel), the type of the strengthening system used (Polyparaphenylene benzobisoxazole (PBO-FRCM), C-FRCM, and FRP), the amount of FRCM composites (1, 2, 3, and 4 layers), the FRCM strengthening Scheme (end-anchored versus continuously wrapped layers), and the loading regime (monotonic and fatigue). The test results showed that the use of FRCM composites significantly enhanced the flexural behavior of the corroded beams. FRCM governed the failure mode of the strengthened beams rather than the level of corrosion damage of the steel bars. FRCM-strengthened beams showed an increase in their ultimate strengths that ranged between 7 and 65% of that of the virgin (neither corroded nor strengthened) beam based on the type, amount, and Scheme of the FRCM used. Exposing the repaired beams to post-repair corrosion resulted in 23% reduction in the steel mass loss. The U-wrapped scheme was more efficient than the end-anchoring scheme in delaying the delamination of the FRCM plies in the short-term repaired beams. It also mitigated the effect of the longitudinal corrosion cracks and consequently increased the post-repair strengthening effectiveness of FRCM systems. Fatigue tests showed that corrosion of steel bars dramatically decreased the fatigue life of the unstrengthened-beams. Strengthening with FRCM composites increased the fatigue life of the corrosion-damaged beams by 38 to 377% of that of the corroded-unstrengthened beams. However, FRCM strengthening did not restore the fatigue life of the virgin beams. In the numerical study carried out in this work, three-dimensional finite element (FE) models were developed to simulate the nonlinear behavior of the corroded beams strengthened with FRCM and FRP composites using the software package ATENA-3D. The results of the numerical analysis were in good agreement with those obtained experimentally in terms of failure modes, strains, load-carrying capacities, and deflections. The developed FE models were able to capture the non-linear behavior of the tested beams with good accuracy. A parametric study was then conducted to investigate the effect of concrete compressive strength and thickness of concrete cover on the strengthening effectiveness of the composite systems. It was observed that failure of RCM-strengthened beams was independent of the compressive strength of concrete or the thickness of the concrete cover and was governed only by fabric slippage within the matrix. Analytically, the design equations of ACI-549.4R-13 (ACI 2013) were assessed using the experimental data obtained from the tests. It was concluded that the theoretical formulations of CI-549.4R-13 can reasonably predict the ultimate strengths of the end-anchored strengthened beams but underestimated those of continuously-anchored beams. A scheme factor of 1.1 was then proposed to calculate the nominal strength of beams strengthened with continuously-wrapped shape of FRCM. The outcome of this work has been published (or submitted for publication) in five journal articles and five conferences, as detailed throughout the thesis.

Book Synopsis Durability of Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) Repair/strengthening Concrete Beams by : Jiangang Deng
Download or read book Durability of Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) Repair/strengthening Concrete Beams written by Jiangang Deng and published by ProQuest. This book was released on 2008 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Carbon fiber-reinforced polymers (CFRP) have been widely used as externally epoxy-bonded reinforcement for repair and retrofit of existing concrete structures. As the use of CFRP in construction increases, it is essential to consider the long term behavior. In this study, concrete specimens with externally bonded CFRP composite systems were exposed to various accelerated ageing environments: different elevated temperature water immersion, varying relative humidity exposure, real-time solar exposure, pressurized hygrothermal exposure, and fatigue loading. Three-point loading test and direct tension test were used to evaluate the flexural and tensile strength of CFRP specimens. This research recommends that the durability strength reduction factor be defined as the ratio of the flexural strength of a test specimen after exposure for 60 days at 60C to the strength of a control specimen at the initiation of exposure. Test specimens, exposure environments, testing procedures, and field application environments are selected to assure uniform reporting, testing and application of durability strength reduction factors. Two exposure environments are recommended for design, wet and air. Water can diffuse through concrete and accumulate on the epoxy/concrete interface in a wet environment and is the default condition for design. An air environment precludes water accumulation but requires engineering design and validation to guarantee compliance. The resulting durability strength reduction factor may be used to (a) calculate the reduced strength for environmental exposure, (b) qualify a specific CFRP system, (c) compare durability reduction factors to those provided by system suppliers, and (d) confirm compliance with project specifications.
Book Synopsis Basic Principles of Concrete Structures by : Xianglin Gu
Download or read book Basic Principles of Concrete Structures written by Xianglin Gu and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-12-09 with total page 620 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on the latest version of designing codes both for buildings and bridges (GB50010-2010 and JTG D62-2004), this book starts from steel and concrete materials, whose properties are very important to the mechanical behavior of concrete structural members. Step by step, analysis of reinforced and prestressed concrete members under basic loading types (tension, compression, flexure, shearing and torsion) and environmental actions are introduced. The characteristic of the book that distinguishes it from other textbooks on concrete structures is that more emphasis has been laid on the basic theories of reinforced concrete and the application of the basic theories in design of new structures and analysis of existing structures. Examples and problems in each chapter are carefully designed to cover every important knowledge point. As a basic course for undergraduates majoring in civil engineering, this course is different from either the previously learnt mechanics courses or the design courses to be learnt. Compared with mechanics courses, the basic theories of reinforced concrete structures cannot be solely derived by theoretical analysis. And compared with design courses, this course emphasizes the introduction of basic theories rather than simply being a translation of design specifications. The book will focus on both the theoretical derivations and the engineering practices.
