This paper presents an experimental study on 11 weak PVC-FRP Confined Concrete (PFCC) Column-strong Reinforced Concrete beam joints reinforced with Core Steel Tube (CST) subjected to axial load. The influences of the joint height, joint stirrup ratio, Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) strips spacing, steel ratio and CST length on the failure mode, ultimate strength, and strain behavior of specimens are analyzed and discussed. Test results indicate that the failure mode of specimens is distinguished by the cracking of PVC tube, fracture of CFRP strips, yielding of stirrups, and longitudinal steel bars in the PFCC columns. Both the longitudinal steel bars and CST yield at the joint area, while there is no obvious damage on the joint. The ultimate stress of specimens decreases with the increment of CFRP strips spacing, while the other studied variables have little impact on the ultimate stress. As the CFRP strips spacing increases, the ultimate strain of specimens decreases, and the strain development accelerates. Considering the effect of joint dimension, a modified prediction model for the stress–strain relationship of axially loaded weak PFCC column-strong RC beam joints reinforced with CST is proposed and verified with good accuracy.

The use of glass-fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) bar to replace steel reinforcement in concrete structures is a relatively a new technique. The GFRP bars possess mechanical properties different from steel bars, including high tensile strength combined with low elastic modulus and linear stress–strain relationship up to failure. Therefore, design procedures and process should account for these properties. This paper presents the experimental work on the flexural behavior of concrete beam reinforced with GFRP bars and strengthen with CFRP plate. A total of ten reinforced concrete beams reinforced with either steel and GFRP bars were cast and tested under four point loads. Eight concrete beams (200x250x2800mm) were reinforced with 13mm diameter GFRP bars together with strengthening using CFRP plate and two control beams reinforced with 12mm diameter steel bars were tested. The experimental results show that although the stiffness of the beams reduced but the ultimate load of the GFRP reinforced concrete beam is bigger than steel reinforced beam. It was also found that strengthening using CFRP plate will further enhanced the flexural performance of the beams with GFRP bars.

The axial compression behavior of a new type of joint wherein the core concrete is confined by a core steel tube while the external concrete is confined by a ring stirrup is investigated in this study. Such a joint core is intended to connect a polyvinyl chloride-carbon fiber reinforced polymer–confined reinforced concrete column and reinforced concrete beam. The failure process and the effects of structural parameters on the mechanical behavior of the joint core are analyzed. Results indicate that the crushing of concrete in the joint core is the predominant failure modes of all specimens. The crack development speed is related to the specimen height and the reinforcement ratio of the core steel tube. The stirrup ratio does not significantly affect the crack development speed but can dominate the crack growth path partially during the crushing of the specimen. In addition, the ultimate bearing capacity of the joint core increases with the decrease in the specimen height, whereas it decreases as the stirrup ratio or reinforcement ratio of core steel tube decreases. Furthermore, a formula for predicting the ultimate bearing capacity of a joint core confined by a core steel tube is proposed based on dimensional analysis associated with the numerical simulations. This study is expected to provide preliminary guideline to facilitate such connection joint cores for structural systems.

This paper presents an investigation into the flexural behaviour of reinforced concrete beam with opening reinforced with two different materials i.e., steel and Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP). Comparison study between the two different materials were carried out and presented in this study through non-linear Finite Element Method (FEM) using the commercial ABAQUS 6.10 software package. The performance of the opening beam reinforced with GFRP is influenced by several key parameters. Simulation analyses were carried out to determine the behavior of beam with opening subjected to monotonic loading. The main parameters considered in this study are size of opening and reinforcement diameter. The results show that GFRP give 23%-29% more ductility than steel reinforcement. The result also shows when the size of opening change from 200mm to 150mm or from 150mm to 100mm the ultimate load capacity increase by 15%. In general, good agreement between the Finite Element (FE) simulation and the available experimental result has been obtained.

The construction of structures with reinforced concrete materials in coastal environments will face constraints in the form of chloride influences which can lead to a decrease in strength and even damage. One of the most popular reinforcement methods today is using a corrosion resistant Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) material. This study was conducted to investigate the behavior of GFRP-S rectifying capacity in reinforced concrete beam reinforcement in 1, 3, 6, and 12 months. The test specimens consist of 10 reinforced beams with dimensions (15x20x330) cm that has been reinforced with GFRP-S in the bending area. Beams without immersion symbolized B0, immersion 1, 3, 6, and 12 months each given symbols B1, B3, B6 and B12. The test specimen is loaded statically until it fails. To record the data when testing is installed strain gauge and LVDT. From the result of the research, it can be seen that there is a decrease of GFRP-S rectification capacity in the test specimen after soaking in seawater. The value of the decrease in the capacity of the bonding can be predicted by using the equation

The behaviour of reinforced concrete beam strengthened with Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) and Glass fiber reinforced polymer GFRP laminates was investigated using finite element models and the results are presented in this paper. The numerical investigation assessed the effect of the configuration of FRP strengthening laminates on the behaviour of concrete beams. The load-deflection behaviour, and ultimate load of strengthened beam were compared to those of un-strengthened concrete beams. It was shown that using U-shaped FRP sheets increased the ultimate load. The stiffness of the strengthed beam also increased after first yielding of steel reinforcing bars. At was also observed that strengthening beams with FRP laminates to one-fourth of the beam span, modifies the failure of the beam from shear-controlled near the end of the unstrengthened beam, to flexure-controlled near mid-span. CFRP produced better results compared GFRP in terms of the ability to enhance the behavior of strengthenened reinforced concrete beams.

Steel corrosion is considered as the main factor for the insufficient durability of concrete structures, especially in the marine environment. In this paper, to further inhibit steel corrosion in a high chloride environment and take advantage of the dual-functional carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP), the impressed current cathodic protection (ICCP) technique was applied to the hybrid-reinforced concrete beam with internally embedded CFRP bars and steel fiber reinforced polymer composite bar (SFCB) as the anode material while the steel bar was compelled to the cathode. The effect of the new ICCP system on the flexural performance of the hybrid-reinforced concrete beam subjected to corrosion was verified experimentally. First, the electricity-accelerated precorrosion test was performed for the steel bar in the hybrid-reinforced beams with a target corrosion ratio of 5%. Then, the dry–wet cycles corrosion was conducted and the ICCP system was activated simultaneously for the hybrid-reinforced concrete beam for 180 days. Finally, the three-point bending experiment was carried out for the hybrid-reinforced concrete beams. The steel bars were taken out from the concrete to quantitatively measure the corrosion ratio after flexural tests. Results showed that the further corrosion of steel bars could be inhibited effectively by the ICCP treatment with the CFRP bar and the SFCB as the anode. Additionally, the ICCP system showed an obvious effect on the flexural behavior of the hybrid-reinforced concrete beams: The crack load and ultimate load, as well as the stiffness, were enhanced notably compared with the beam without ICCP treatment. Compared with the SFCB anode, the ICCP system with the CFRP bar as the anode material was more effective for the hybrid-reinforced concrete beam to prevent the steel corrosion.
