Based on extended finite element method (XFEM) of the finite element software platform-ABAQUS, three-point bending numerical simulation of CFRP reinforced concrete beam with initial crack has been made to predict the 3D crack propagation path. The numerical tests present the crack propagation path under ultimate load and crack damage modes of non-CFRP and some different CFRP plies. The results show that the strength of CFRP reinforced concrete beam is obviously improved and the crack which previous penetrate through doesnt penetrate through concrete beam under CFRP reinforce based on multiple optometric numerical simulation results. The results of this paper can also provide some foundations for damage mode, the ultimate load and CFRP overlay design of reinforced concrete beams.

ABSTRACTReinforcing method of reinforced concrete beam has been done in Indonesia, one of them is by using of strand stressing. Strandstressing need additional technology so that strand reinforcing is not much in demand. Strand has high strength, so using strand needs to be modified in order to take advantage of the material. In this study, the strand will be used to reinforce of reinforced concrete beam by using epoxy and U-steel as anchors.The research methodology based on experimental in the laboratory. The samples are consist of 3 specimens : the first is specimen without using of reinforcement (BU01), the second is specimen with reinforcement by using epoxy and 3 U-steel as anchors(BU02), the third is specimen with reinforcement by using epoxy and 7 U-steel as anchors(BU03). Specimens dimensions of reinforced concrete beam are 150 mm x 300 mm with a span of 3000 mm.The results show that the initial crack occurred in mid span beam on the pull side. The loads causing initial crack as follow: at BU01 = 6.22 kN, at BU02 = 3.95 kN and at BU03 = 0.25 kN. The results research show that initial cracking load of the specimen is inversely proportional with the number of anchor. If the number of anchor is greater, the cracking load will be smaller.Keywords: reinforcement beam, steel of strand, initial crackABSTRAKMetode perkuatan balok beton bertulang sudah banyak dilakukan di Indonesia, salah satunya menggunakan baja strand yang ditegangkan. Penggunaan baja strand sebagai perkuatan masih terbatas dengan melakukan penegangan. Penegangan pada strand memerlukan teknologi tambahan sehingga perkuatan menggunakan strand tidak banyak diminati untuk perkuatan. Mengingat kekuatan strand yang tinggi maka pemanfaatan strand perlu dilakukan modifikasi agar dapat mengambil kelebihan dari material tersebut. Pada penelitian ini pemanfaatan strand digunakan untuk perkuatan balok bertulang tanpa dilakukan penegangan tetapi diikat dengan epoxy dan baja U yang diangkurkan ke balok beton bertulang.Metodologi penelitian yang digunakan menggunakan experimental di laboratorium. Benda uji terdiri dari 3 buah yaitu benda uji normal tanpa menggunakan perkuatan (BU01), benda uji dengan perkuatan strand tanpa penegangan yang diikat dengan epoxy dan 3 baja U yang diangkurkan ke balok beton bertulang (BU02) dan benda uji dengan perkuatan strand tanpa penegangan yang diikat dengan epoxy dan 7 baja U yang diangkurkan ke balok beton bertulang (BU03). Dimensi benda uji balok beton bertulang adalah 150 mm x 300 mm dengan bentang 3000 m.Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa retak awal terjadi di tengah bentang (mid span) balok pada sisi tarik. Beban yang menyebabkan retak awal pada BU01 = 6,22 kN, BU02 = 3,95 kN dan BU03 = 0,25 kN. Hasil tersebut menunjukkan bahwa benda uji yang mempunyai lubang angkur untuk mengikat strand semakin banyak maka beban yang menyebabkan retak awal semakin kecil.Kata Kunci : perkuatan balok, baja strand, retak awal

In order to research the stress performance of reinforced concrete beam with different forms of reinforcement around the openings, a numerical simulation on reinforced concrete beam with circle openings is made by using the finite element software. The constitutive relation of concrete offered by the 2010 edition of code for design of concrete structures and the concrete damaged plasticity model is adopted in this article. The damage factor is introduced in the process of modeling, which can reflect the damage of beams with different forms of reinforcement directly and help to reveal the failure mechanism of members. Thus we can propose the optimization of reinforcement method.

Experiment on the constitutive model of fiber reinforced concrete with volume fraction of alkali-resistant glass fiber of, respectively, 0.0%, 0.5%, 1.0%, and 1.5% was conducted, and the constitutive relation of tension stress-strain full curve of GFRC shaft was obtained; the constitutive relation of GFRP is obtained by experiment, and the secant modulus was obtained by the fitting of univariate cubic equation. The finite element numerical simulation of GFRP fiber reinforced concrete beam was carried out, and the load deflection nephogram of fiber reinforced concrete beam, strain nephogram, crack nephogram, and GFRP stress nephogram were obtained. When the fiber content is 1.0%, the bearing capacity of GFRP reinforced concrete beams is the best, and it could play a “bridging” effect when the incorporation of fiber is within the load range of about 60%, which inhibited the developing speed of cracks, but with the gradual increase of the load, the “bridging” effect disappeared.

In order to analyze the whole process of fatigue behaviours of reinforced concrete beams, an equivalent static analysis method is proposed in this paper. Firstly, the constitutive models based on the degradation of stiffness and strength and the accumulation of residual strain of concrete and reinforcement subjected to fatigue loadings are deduced and established by coupling the uniaxial constitutive model of concrete and the ideal elastic-plastic model of reinforcement under static load. Secondly, based on the similarity of concrete failure under static load and fatigue load, the equivalent relationship between fatigue and static analysis can be constructed by using the concrete residual strain as the equivalent parameter. On this basis, an equivalent static method for the analysis of fatigue behavior of reinforced concrete beam is proposed. At last, three reinforced concrete beams with rectangular section are tested, and the fatigue behaviours are analyzed by the method proposed in this paper. The numerical simulation results are compared with the field test data. The result shows that the numerical simulation results are in good agreement with the experimental results, which verifies the reliability and practicability of the method.
