In order to improve the bearing capacity of SRC which is related with deformation and stiffiness, SRC beams should be strengthened by CFRP. Based on the experiment of six pre-splitting steel reinforced concrete beams strengthened with (Prestressed) CFRP sheets, the deformation of beams are discussed. Load-deformation curves are obtained by the experiment. Considering the influence of intial bending moment on SRC beams, the calculated deformation formulas of SRC beams strengthened by (Prestressed) CFRP are deduced. The results showed that the load-deformation curves of normal and strengthened beams respectively showed three and two linear characteristics. The theoretical results which calculated by the formulas of deformation are well agreement with the experimental results.

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the flexural behavior of over-reinforced concrete beam enhancement by bolted-compression steel plate (BCSP) with normal reinforced concrete beams under laboratory experimental condition. Three beams developed with steel plates were tested until they failed in compression compared with one beam without a steel plate. The thicknesses of the steel plates used were 6 mm, 10 mm, and 15 mm. The beams were simply supported and loaded monotonically with two-point loads. Load-deflection behaviors of the beams were observed, analyzed, and evaluated in terms of spall-off concrete loading, peak loading, displacement at mid-span, flexural stiffness (service and post-peak), and energy dissipation. The outcome of the experiment shows that the use of a steel plate can improve the failure modes of the beams and also increases the peak load and flexural stiffness. The steel development beams dissipated much higher energies with an increase in plate thicknesses than the conventional beam.

This paper describes a design method for structures consisting of a vertically loaded masonry wall supported by a reinforced concrete beam, taking account of the composite tied-arch action of the wall and beam. Experimental results have shown that the behaviour of walls on reinforced concrete beams is similar enough to that of walls on steel beams to allow the development of a design procedure for the former using similar principles to that for walls on steel beams. Therefore, the design approach is based on the assumption of triangular distributions of vertical stress at the wall–beam interface, where the length of the distributions are a function of the beam-to-wall relative stiffness. In the design method the beam flexural stiffness is designed to give an adequate distribution of the interface stress so that the maximum stress in the wall does not exceed allowable limits. The beam is also designed with flexural and shear reinforcement sufficient to resist the bending moment, tie force, and shear forces applied by the normal and shear interface loading. Experimental evidence as well as analytical results are cited to support the assumptions and the resulting design method.

In the past few years, new techniques have emerged using steel plates instead of traditional reinforcement in the reinforced concrete beams. This study deals with using a new method for reinforced concrete beams using steel plates instead of traditional steel bars with different thicknesses of (4, 5, and 6 mm) placed vertically inside the lower part of the beam. Four reinforced concrete beams were cast and tested under a two-point load. All beams had the same cross-sectional area of reinforcement and dimensions of 2100 mm in length, 350 mm in height, and 250 in width. The results showed that as the thickness of the steel plate increases, the samples would have greater resistance until more deflection is produced. In addition, there is a reduction in the crack load, ultimate load, and yield load when replacing reinforcing bars with steel plates. In which, a reduction in crack load by about 11.1, 15.5, and 22.2% plate thicknesses of 4,5,6 mm respectively, compared to reference beam that had a deformed steel bar (Dia. 16 mm). In addition, a reduction in yielding load was observed about 42, 53, and 60% for steel plate thickness of 4, 5, and 6 mm respectively, compared to the reference model. Finally, the cracks for all the steel plate specimens compared to reference specimens were wider and smaller.
