AbstractBeam–column joints play an important role in providing lateral stiffness and integrity of frames during dynamic loading such as earthquake. In the high humidity areas, during functioning of the building cracks occur, which leads to the corrosion of the reinforcement due to the environmental exposures. Therefore, one of the main failures mechanism of building during an earthquake is caused by easily yielding of corroded steel reinforcement, which leads to reduce functionality of the frame joints in transferring the loads. This study proposed a new design to reinforce the beam-column joints with embedded carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) rods, due to their extremely high strength and stiffness, along with the fact that they will not rust or corrode and very light weight. CFRP rods are used in reinforced concrete (RC) frame and ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) frame subjected to dynamic load. The prototype of the proposed design is constructed as frame with conventional concrete and frame with UHPC material to conduct experiments Test as well as numerical analysis to evaluate the performance of the proposed joints under dynamic loads. The results showed improvement in the performance of the frames reinforced with embedded CFRP in joints in terms of lateral load resistance capacity, ductility behaviour, overall stiffness, and failure mechanism.

Carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer grids encased with polymer mortar have received much attention lately as an effective technology for strengthening concrete structures. The objective of this study was to investigate the bond-slip behavior of carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer grids to polymer mortar at room and elevated temperatures. First, 20 pull-out specimens were tested at room temperature of 20°C, and the investigated parameters included the type of carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer grids, the embedment length of longitudinal bar, and the transverse bar length. Based on the experimental results, a two-branch bond-slip model at room temperature was proposed, with the characteristic bond stress and the corresponding slip determined by the regression analysis of test data. Second, 24 pull-out specimens were tested at elevated temperatures over a range of 20°C–300°C, and the investigated parameters included the type of carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer grids and the testing temperature. Based on the experimental results, a bond-slip model at elevated temperatures was further proposed by modeling the temperature-dependent reduction factors. The two proposed bond-slip models will be particularly useful in the theoretical analysis of structures with carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer grids and polymer mortar strengthening system under both room and elevated temperatures.

The bond–slip degradation relationship between carbon fiber-reinforced polymer and steel in a freeze–thaw environment is crucial to evaluate the long-term service performance of steel structures strengthened with carbon fiber-reinforced polymer plates. However, limited studies on the durability and long-term performance of the carbon fiber-reinforced polymer-steel-bonded interface are the major obstacle for the application of carbon fiber-reinforced polymer plates in strengthening steel structures. This paper reports an experimental study to investigate the effects of the carbon fiber-reinforced polymer bond length and the freeze–thaw cycles on the bond behavior of the carbon fiber-reinforced polymer-steel-bonded interface. The three-dimensional digital image correlation technique is applied to obtain displacements and strains on the surface of the single-shear specimen. The experimental results present herein include the failure mode, the ultimate load, the carbon fiber-reinforced polymer strain distribution, the displacement distribution, and the bond–slip relationship. The results show that the ultimate load increases with increasing bond length until a certain bond length value is reached, after which the ultimate load remained approximately constant, and the ultimate loads of carbon fiber-reinforced polymer-steel interface decrease gradually under freeze–thaw cycles. The bond–slip parameters degradation models are proposed, and the bond–slip degradation relationship under the freeze–thaw cycles is established. Finally, the bond–slip degradation relationship is confirmed through comparisons with the experimental results.

In this study, a novel form of tubular columns that is made of ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) internally reinforced with fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) grid (herein referred to as FRP grid-UHPCtubular column) was developed. The axial compression test results of FRP grid-UHPC tubular columns with and without in-filled concrete are presented and discussed. Effects of the number of the FRP grid-reinforcing cages, the presence of in-filled concrete, and the presence of external FRP confinement were investigated. The test results confirmed that the FRP-UHPC tubular columns have a satisfactory compressive strength, and the strength and ductility of FRP-confined concrete-filled FRP grid-UHPC tube columns are enhanced due to the confinement from the FRP wrap. The proposed FRP grid-reinforced UHPC composite tubes are attractive in structural applications as pipelines or permanent formworks for columns, as well as external jackets (can be prefabricated in the form of two halves of tubes) for strengthening deteriorated reinforced concrete columns.

Fatigue Development

In the present paper, a comprehensive study on the flexural fatigue behavior of ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) beams prestressed with carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) tendons is reported. A total of two UHPC beams prestressed with CFRP tendons were experimentally investigated. On the basis of the fatigue constitutive model of the materials, a fatigue prediction model (FPM) was developed to simulate the flexural fatigue evolvement of the beams. The strain and stress in UHPC and CFRP tendons were calculated by the sectional stress analysis. The influence of steel fiber was considered in the formulae for the crack resistance and crack width, and the midspan deflection was calculated using the sum of deflection before cracking and increment after cracking. The obtained test results were used to verify the FPM. A parametric study was then conducted to analyze the fatigue development of such component, and a formula to predict the flexural fatigue life of UHPC beams under different fatigue loads was proposed.
