AbstractCarbon Fiber Reinforced polymer (CFRP) bars are weak in yielding property which results in sudden failure of structure at failure load. Inclusion of non-pretensioned steel reinforcement in the tension side of CFRP based prestressed concrete beam will balance the yielding requirements of member and it will show the definite crack failure pattern before failure. Experimental investigation has been carried out to study the deflection behavior of partially prestressed beam. Experimental works includes four beam specimens stressed by varying degree of prestressing. The Partial Prestressing Ratio (PPR) of specimen is considered for experimental works in the range of 0.6 to 0.8. A new deflection model is recommended in the present study considering the strain contribution of CFRP bar and steel reinforcement for the fully bonded member. New deflection model converges to experimental results with the error of less than 5% .

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.

This paper presents the electronic computer programmes used for the design of standard bridge superstructures by the SETRA (Service d'Etudes techniques des Routes et Autoroutes) of the French Department of Public Works. There is one particular programme for each bridge type. Through these programmes, concrete widths and depths and steel reinforcement are calculated for reinforced concrete beam and slab bridges, and prestressing is designed for prestressed concrete beam and slab bridges.Since February 1, 1962, 11 000 bridges have been designed with these varied and general programmes, suitable for most standard road and freeway overpasses.
