This paper investigates the influence of multiple transverse web openings on the flexural behaviour of underground metro station reinforced concrete (RC) beams. This problem is outlined with an actual underground engineering project, in which the web opening used in the RC beams violates the current specifications. A total of five beams with different numbers of web openings are fabricated and tested under static and cyclic loading conditions, thereby simulating actual operations in unfavourable conditions. The results suggest that the existence of the openings decreases the loadbearing capacity, ductility, stiffness, and energy dissipation ability of the RC beams. Moreover, the results show that the corners of the openings are the weakest parts of the beams. However, additional reinforcements around the openings can partially mitigate the impact of the openings on the loadbearing and seismic performance of the RC beams. The laboratory experiments presented herein not only provide guidelines for the use of RC beams with web openings in actual engineering projects, especially underground projects where RC beams with web openings have seldom been investigated, but also shed light on improving the related design specifications.

— The strength of reinforced concrete beams is reduced to high extent when openings are created in their webs, so it is necessary to strengthen these beams by any modern strengthening methods to restore the strength of the beams before openings are created in their webs to continue in use of these beams. Analytical study is presented in this research to study CFRP strengthening effect around created opening in reinforced concrete beams under torsion and bending. The research depends on finite element method using Ansys 15. It is used SOLID65 to model concrete beam, SOLID 185 to model CFRP, supports and steel arms, and LINK 181 for long steel and stripes. Then analytical model is built to model reinforced concrete beams. This model gives results which are closed to experimental results.

The corrosion of rebar is one of the main problem in the construction industry. A lot of amount is spent on the repair work every year but none of them is that effective. Therefore, the recent studies are being conducting on the FRP rebar due to the brittle nature and the bonding performance. We have also used PVA fiber in concrete to increase the strength of the concrete. we are using Hybrid beams in which we have replaced the corner rebar with BFRP bars because of their superior corrosion effect and the strength to weight ratio. We used four point loading test on these hybrid reinforced beams to find the flexural behaviour by which we can predict the performance. 0.25% PVA fiber reinforced concrete showed the optimum results.

In this investigation the effect of large web opening on the on the behaver of beams made by normal concrete (NC) and reactive powder concrete (RPC) have been studied. The experimental work consists of casting and testing in flexure 12 rectangular simply supported reinforced concrete beams. The main parameters of this test are opening locations and normal concrete and RPC location with is the section. The ultimate loads, cracking loads, load -deflection behavior, skew of the openings (deflection at the two opposite corners of openings) and ductility were discussed. These results showed that increase ultimate loads (Pu) and stiffness by increase RPC layers. The using RPC layers increase ultimate load about (1-30) %. Using RPC in compression fiber is found to be more effective than using RPC in tension fiber. The cracking load of hybrid beam with one layer of RPC in compression fiber (having one opening) higher than NC beams by 48.5%. The ultimate strength was decreases with increases opening about (4-21)%, thus indicating that the stiffness decreases accordingly. Hybrid beams with RPC in tension fiber failed with less crack than those for hybrid beams with RPC in compression fiber at the same number of openings. The skew at opening of flexural zone show greater values than the skew at opening in shear zone for each beam until failure. The increase in the number of openings leads to increase in the ductility because it reduces the strength of beams.

The results of an experimental and analytical study of the behaviour of reinforced concrete (RC) T-section beams strengthened with carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) sheets are presented. Shear deficient specimens are strengthened by using side-bonded and [Formula: see text] - jacketed CFRP sheets. The effect of CFRP sheets on strength and stiffness of the beams is considered for various orientations of the fibres. The main objective of the study is to obtain ductile flexural behaviour from the shear deficient RC beams. To verify the reliability, test results were compared with results of ACI-440 design code, Concrete Society TR55, Fib Bulletin 14 and Colotti et al. model.
