Frp Bars

<p>This paper aims to assess the relationship among crack width and several influencing parameters of Fibre Reinforced Polymer (FRP) Reinforced Concrete (RC) flexural members. A database with the results of 133 concrete specimens reinforced with different types of FRP bars available in the literature has been collected and analysed. A bond coefficient <i>k</i>b has been adjusted for the maximum crack width of all specimens by using ACI-440 and ISIS Canada design guidelines in the service range, obtaining a mean bond coefficient of 1.11 and 0.72, respectively. The effect of the surface treatment and modulus of elasticity of the FRP rebar, and the <i>n·</i> ratio on the bond coefficient have been studied, obtaining no significant influence of the studied parameters due to the high scatter of results.</p>

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.

Maximum Crack

This paper gives the influences of the coarse aggregate size on the cracks of the beam with different aggregate sizes under static loads. The coarse aggregate sizes are ranked into three classes: small size (4.75mm ~ 19mm), big size (19mm ~ 37.5mm) and mixed size (4.75mm ~ 37.5mm). The developments of cracks of three reinforced concrete beams with the different of coarse aggregate sizes under the static loads are researched. The results show that under the action of the same loads, The reinforced concrete beams with the big aggregate size and mixed aggregate size have almost the same maximum crack width, while the maximum crack width of the beam with small aggregate size is less than formers. Using fractal theory, the fractal dimension of the cracks is studied. The result shows that the aggregate sizes have significant effect to the cracks on the reinforced beams.
