Salt Fog

Shantou atmospheric salt-fog environment is simulated with the comprehensive salt spray test chamber. By using reinforced concrete short beams under different water-cement radio, different corrosion time, the inclined section degradation rules of the corrosive reinforced concrete members are researched for establishing shear capacity of short beam formulas in salt-fog environment.

Moment-deformation curves of square steel tube filled with steel reinforced concrete subjected to bending load were simulated by the ABAQUS software. Calculated and experimental curves agreed well with each other. Through studying further the calculated member, the behavior of materials subjected to moment is given. Finally, flexural capacity formula of square steel tube filled with cross steel reinforced concrete is proposed.

Fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP)-reinforced concrete members exhibit low ductility due to the linear-elastic behaviour of FRP materials. Concrete members reinforced by hybrid FRP–steel bars can improve strength and ductility simultaneously. In this study, the plastic hinge problem of hybrid FRP–steel reinforced concrete beams was numerically assessed through finite element analysis (FEA). Firstly, a finite element model was proposed to validate the numerical method by comparing the simulation results with the test results. Then, three plastic hinge regions—the rebar yielding zone, concrete crushing zone, and curvature localisation zone—of the hybrid reinforced concrete beams were analysed in detail. Finally, the effects of the main parameters, including the beam aspect ratio, concrete grade, steel yield strength, steel reinforcement ratio, steel hardening modulus, and FRP elastic modulus on the lengths of the three plastic zones, were systematically evaluated through parametric studies. It is determined that the hybrid reinforcement ratio exerts a significant effect on the plastic hinge lengths. The larger the hybrid reinforcement ratio, the larger is the extent of the rebar yielding zone and curvature localisation zone. It is also determined that the beam aspect ratio, concrete compressive strength, and steel hardening ratio exert significant positive effects on the length of the rebar yielding zone.

To avoid excessive deflection most design codes specify the ratio (l/h)s, the span to minimum thickness of concrete members without prestressing. Use of the values of (l/h)s specified by the codes, in selecting the thickness of members, usually yields satisfactory results when the members are reinforced with steel bars. Fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) bars have an elastic modulus lower than that of steel. As a result, the values of (l/h)s specified in codes for steel-reinforced concrete would lead to excessive deflection if adopted for FRP-reinforced concrete. In this paper, an equation is developed giving the ratio (l/h)f for use with FRP bars in terms of (l/h)s and (εs/εf), where εs and εf are the maximum strain allowed at service in steel and FRP bars, respectively. To control the width of cracks, ACI 318-99 specifies εs = 1200 × 10–6 for steel bars having a modulus of elasticity, Es, of 200 GPa and a yield strength, fy, of 400 MPa. At present, there is no value specified for εf; a value is recommended in this paper.Key words: concrete, cracking, deflection, fibre reinforced polymers, flexural members, minimum thickness.
