In long-span floors, the use of composite slim floor beams can effectively improve the flexural stiffness and flexural capacity of the floor system. In order to strengthen the stiffness of the composite slim floor beams and achieve better fire resistance, an innovative steel-reinforced concrete slim floor beams is presented in this article. To investigate the flexural performance of the steel-reinforced concrete slim floor beams, static loading experiments were carried out on six specimens. The parameters of the test were the height of slim floor beams and the type and size of steel shape in the steel-reinforced concrete slim floor beams. On the basis of the experiment, the bending failure modes, flexural stiffness, and flexural capacity of the steel-reinforced concrete slim floor beams were studied comprehensively. The test results indicated that the steel-reinforced concrete slim floor beams exhibited great flexural capacity, large stiffness, and high ductility. The calculation formulas of flexural stiffness and flexural capacity were also proposed in this article. The analysis of flexural performance of the steel-reinforced concrete slim floor beams can provide a significant foundation for further research.

The objectives of this research were to investigate the structural behavior of slender steel reinforced concrete (Referred to as SRC)composite columns subjected to eccentric axial loading. The test consisted of 10 slender columns, with rectangular section160×180mm, and steel shape I10 encased in concrete. The stirrup spacing was 150 mm; its diameter was 6 mm. The diameter of longitudinal reinforcing bars was 10 mm. Details of the experimental investigations including description of the test columns, failure modes and mechanisms, strain characteristics, and load-deformation responses are discussed. Effects of concrete strength, slenderness of columns, and eccentricity of axial loads on the load-carrying capacity of slender column are then presented. Based on these results, a range of slenderness ratio and eccentric ratio of slender SRC column is proposed.

Experiments on flexural behavior of strengthened pre-damaged reinforced concrete beams with CFRP and those exposed to seawater for different time have been carried out. By comparison, the rule of seawater effecting on failure modes of beams, fissure condition, strain development and flexural capacity, and so on have been studied. The results show that reinforcement treatment on the mechanical damaged reinforced concrete beams with bonding CFRP can effectively improve their flexural capacity and stiffness, and constrain the development of cracks. With the extension of time under seawater environment, although performance of pre-damaged beam strengthened with CFRP is influenced significantly, the strengthening effect is still more reliable.

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.

A new repair technique consisting on a light jacketing with Fibre Reinforced Cementitious Composites (FRCC) for existing reinforced concrete (RC) buildings has been recently proposed to reduce durability problems of RC members and enhance their capacity. In this work, the effects of FRCC jacketing on the flexural capacity of existing RC columns, with and without a pre-damage, has been evaluated of full-scale specimens under cyclic loading. Digital Imagine Correlation (DIC) was also adopted for understanding the strain distribution in the FRCC jacket. The results shown that the FRCC jacket without a proper anchorage slightly enhanced the flexural capacity of the column. The strengthened column experienced a low damage with respect to control column, but occurrence of premature failures did not allow the achievement of high levels of deformation capacity and ductility.

In order to evaluate whether concrete with recycled coarse aggregate can be applied for steel reinforced concrete (SRC) under the earthquake, low cyclic loading tests of SRC with different recycled coarse aggregate (RCA) replacement percentage were carried out in this paper. Based on the tests of three SRRC column specimens, the failure modes, the hysteresis curves, the skeleton curves, the ductility, and the stiffness degradation of SRRC columns are investigated. The influence of variation in the RCA replacement percentage on the SRRC column is analyzed in detail. Test results show that the seismic performance of SRRC column is reduced to an allowable extent with the increasing magnitude of the RCA replacement percentage. The SRRC column still has a good seismic performance and the recycled coarse aggregate can be applied for steel reinforced concrete through the proper design.

Through proper arranging of a hybrid combination of longitudinal fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) bars and steel bars in the tensile region of the beam, the advantages of both FRP and steel materials can be sufficiently exploited to enhance the flexural capacity and ductility of a concrete beam. In this paper, a methodology for the flexural strength design of hybrid FRP-steel reinforced concrete (RC) beams is proposed. Firstly, based on the mechanical features of reinforcement and concrete and according to the latest codified provisions of longitudinal reinforcement conditions to ensure ductility level, the design-oriented allowable ranges of reinforcement ratio corresponding to three common flexural failure modes are specified. Subsequently, the calculation approach of nominal flexural strength of hybrid FRP-steel RC beams is established following the fundamental principles of equilibrium and compatibility. In addition to the common moderately-reinforced beams, the proposed general calculation approach is also applicable to lightly-reinforced beams and heavily-reinforced beams, which are widely used but rarely studied. Furthermore, the calculation process is properly simplified and the calculation accuracy is validated by the experimental results of hybrid FRP-steel RC beams in the literature. Finally, with the ductility analysis, a novel strength reduction factor represented by net tensile steel strain and reinforcement ratio is proposed for hybrid FRP-steel RC beams.
