Cracking Pattern

This paper presents the results of an experimental investigation on the cracking behaviour of concrete beams reinforced with fiber reinforced plastic rebars. The effects of reinforcement ratio on the cracking pattern, crack spacing, cracking moment, and crack width are investigated. The test results indicate that the reinforcement ratio has no meaningful effect on the cracking moment, which can be calculated as recommended by the ACI code. Also, the use of the equations adopted by ACI and the European codes for the prediction of crack width of conventionally reinforced concrete members is investigated and due modifications are made. Both relationships show good correlation with the test results; and the prediction of crack width of concrete beams reinforced with these two types of fiber reinforced plastic rebars is now possible. Key words: beam, cracking behaviour, cracking moment, crack width, fiber reinforced plastic, flexure, rebars, reinforced concrete, reinforcement ratio.
