This paper presents a study on the interfacial behavior of carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) sheets when applied to concrete members as external reinforcement. Two bond test methods that are detailed in the paper were used in separate test series to study the bond behavior and failure mechanism of CFRP sheets bonded to concrete. A modified push-apart test method was proposed and tested. It was concluded that there existed an effective length beyond which there will be no increase in the ultimate capacity of the joint. An experimental test method to determine the effective bond length was also proposed and tested. The strains at the edge of the CFRP sheets are consistently higher than those at the center. The anchorage requirements for the CFRP sheets were also investigated in this study. Anchor sheets placed at 90° to the primary test sheets and bonded underneath the tested sheet showed better or equivalent overall bond behavior compared with those bonded on top of the tested sheet. The distance at which the anchor sheet is placed from the crack does not appear to change the bond behavior.Key words: bond, concrete, debonding, failure mechanism, carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) sheets, anchor sheets.

Flexural capacity of RC beams gets significant improvement with externally bonded Carbon Fiber-reinforced Polymer (CFRP) sheet. The anchorage system is a valid means to restrain or delay debonding failure caused by stress concentration at the ends of CFRP sheets. In this paper, four RC beams, measuring 150 × 200 × 1900 mm, were examined under four-point bending test. One beam was applied for contrast. And other three were CFRP strengthened with no anchorage, CF anchors (carbon fiber anchors) and U-wraps (U-shaped CFRP wraps). The primary purpose of the experiment was to validate the effectiveness of CF anchors and U-wraps in improving the flexure character of beams strengthened with CFRP sheets. The experimental results revealed that the strengthened beams using anchorage systems performed remarkably in beam ductility, flexural capacity, load-deflection response and failure mode compared with the contrast beam. The anchorage systems were more effective and necessary to enhance the flexural behavior of beams as using CFRP laminates for flexural strengthening.

Additional Safety

This paper presents and discusses the procedures adopted for repairing and strengthening a damaged reinforced concrete corbel of an industrial biomass boiler. The reinforced concrete corbel was subjected to concrete spalling, favoring the risk of the main tie reinforcement slip in the anchorage zone. The proposed solution involved a local repair with a polymeric mortar and subsequent strengthening using carbon fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) sheets, attending the requirements imposed by the in site conditions and the design plans. The intervention allowed the confinement of the concrete zone subjected to spalling and provided additional safety for the main tie reinforcement of the corbel. The applied technique was demonstrated to be fast, reliable, practical, and cheaper than other available solutions, such as section enlargements with concrete jacketing.

Research was done on durability of two common kinds of carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) sheets. Eight groups of 40 sheets were tested in recent 3 years. Influence to strength, extensibility and modulus of CFRP sheets was investigated in nature aging environment of east China. Results indicate that strength、young’s modulus and extensibility of CFRP sheets deteriorated owing to climatic factors. An average value of aging residual strength semi-experienced math model is used to study time-dependent deterioration on fiber reinforced polymer affected by climatic factors of east China. Nonlinear fit parameter is used in retain rate curve equation to predict service life of CFRP. Further research is still going on.
