When strengthening reinforced concrete slabs with textile reinforced mortars (TRM), the “correct” consideration of the global bond behaviour between textile and cementitious matrix is identified as the main challenge in determining the most appropriate global analytical model. The first model evaluated here is based on classical assumptions for structural concrete design. The second model, as another extreme assumption, is completely neglecting textile bond in the cracked zone, thus assuming it as unbonded, end-anchored, external reinforcement. The third model is based on the simplifying assumption of the textile reinforcement being only significantly activated when the internal steel reinforcement is yielding. Analytical results from these approaches are compared to a database containing more than 130 test results reported in literature, and are statistically evaluated.

This paper presents the latest developments of a simple method used to determine the ultimate load of two-way simply supported reinforced concrete slabs. Based on the reinforcement ratio, two failure criteria are proposed in the paper. The effectiveness of the developed model is validated through satisfactory comparison with from test results.

The punching shear behavior of thick reinforced concrete slabs was analyzed in this paper by using strut-and-tie model (S-T). Calculating procedures were compared to our own experimental test results. The analyzed elements were subjected to symmetric loading and without shear reinforcement.

Phương pháp tăng cường khả năng chịu uốn của kết cấu sàn bê tông cốt thép sử dụng vật liệu tấm sợi FRP (Fiber Reinforced Polymer) dán ngoài đã trở nên phổ biến, vì những ưu điểm của chúng mang lại như cường độ chịu kéo cao, trọng lượng nhẹ, cách điện, cách nhiệt tốt, bền theo thời gian. Bài báo trình bày quy trình thiết kế tăng cường khả năng chịu uốn của sàn bê tông cốt thép gia cường bằng tấm sợi FRP dán ngoài để đảm bảo yêu cầu khai thác và khảo sát hiệu quả tăng cường tương ứng với các cấp cường độ chịu nén của bê tông theo hướng dẫn ACI 440.2R-17. Kết quả tính toán theo trình tự đề nghị giúp chọn và kiểm tra được diện tích tấm FRP tăng cường cần thiết. Ngoài ra, kết quả tính toán chỉ ra rằng mức độ tăng cường khả năng chịu uốn của sàn tỷ lệ thuận với cường độ chịu nén của bê tông, tương ứng với cường độ bê tông tăng từ 11,5 MPa đến 19,5 MPa, sức kháng uốn tính toán tăng từ 91%  đến 144%. Đồng thời, kết quả cũng cho thấy rằng sự phá hoại của sàn bê tông cốt thép xảy ra do mất dính bám giữa lớp FRP gia cường khỏi bề mặt cấu kiện là chủ yếu. ABSTRACT The method of the flexural strengthening of reinforced concrete slabs using the externally bonded FRP (fiber reinforced polymer) laminates has become popular because of their advantages as high tensile strength, large modulus of elasticity, lightweight, high abrasion resistance, electrical insulation, good heat resistance and durable over the time. The paper presented the design procedure for the flexural strengthening of reinforced concrete slabs with FRP laminates to ensure the mining requirements and investigation of the reinforcement efficiency corresponding to the compressive strength levels of concrete based on ACI 440.2R-17. Calculation results in the suggested sequence helped select and check the required reinforcement FRP areas. In addition, the calculation results showed that the degree of increased flexural strengthening of the slabs was proportional to the compressive strength of the concrete, corresponding to the concrete strength increased from 11,5 MPa to 19,5 MPa, flexural strengthening increases from 91% to 144%. Moreover, the damage to the reinforced concrete slabs was caused by the debonding between the FRP and the surface of the structures.

A total of four two-way reinforced concrete slabs strengthened with three methods were tested. The four test specimens were one unstrengthened reinforced concrete slab (control), one slab strengthened with CFRP strips, one slab strengthened with steel sheets, and one slab strengthened with an innovative method of applying CFRP strips and steel sheets combination bonding to the tension face of the slab. The test results show the CFRP-Steel combination strengthened technique is a rapid and effective strengthening technique for two-way RC slab. The increase in ultimate capacities of CFRP-Steel combination strengthened slab is 221.1% over the control slab, 84.4% over the CFRP-strengthened slab, and 45.2% over the steel-strengthened slab. In addition, the CFRP-Steel combination strengthened slab exhibited superior ductility than the CFRP-strengthened slab.

Corrosion inhibition of concrete steel-reinforcement in 3.5% NaCl, simulating saline/marine environment, by the leaf extract ofRhizophora mangleL. was studied in this paper. For this, duplicated specimens of steel-reinforced concrete slabs, admixed with different concentrations of the leaf extract, were immersed in the corrosive test-medium. Analyses, as per ASTM G16-95 R04, of the electrochemical test-results identified 0.0833%Rhizophora mangleL., per weight of cement, with optimal inhibition efficiencyη= 95.73±0.15%. The study established a decrease in inhibition effectiveness as concentration ofRhizophora mangleL. increases.

A textile reinforced concrete (TRC) system has been widely used for repair and strengthening of deteriorated reinforced concrete (RC) structures. This paper proposes an accelerated on-site installation method of a TRC system by grouting to strengthen deteriorated RC structures. Four RC slabs were strengthened with one ply of carbon textile grid and 20 mm-thick cementitious grout. The TRC strengthened slab specimens were tested under flexure and the test results were compared with those of an unstrengthened specimen and theoretical solutions. Furthermore, the TRC strengthened specimens experienced longer plastic deformation after steel yield than the unstrengthened specimen. The TRC strengthened specimens exhibited many fine cracks and finally failed by rupture of the textile. Therefore, TRC system with the proposed installation method can effectively be used for strengthening of deteriorated RC structural elements. The theoretically computed steel yield and ultimate loads overestimate the test data by 11% and 5%, respectively.


punching shear failure of the flat plat of the column location especially of two-way flat plat is one of the major problem and this form of failure should be avoided. The paper deals with the punching shear behavior of the two-way concrete slabs reinforced by using thin sheets of glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) with traditional steel bars reinforcement. Five flat plat specimens slabs measuring (1500x1500x150mm) with interior column measuring (150mmX150mm). Reinforced by GFRP thin mesh sheets in additional of deformed steel bars reinforcement were conducted and tested under concentric load until failure. The test parameter were studied i) No. of GFRP thin mesh sheets layers ii) Position of GFRP mesh thin sheets layers (at compression and tension zones). The test results were reported in terms of cracking behavior and propagation, maximum deflection, strains in concrete and reinforcement, punching shear capacity, and modes of failure. The test results were also employed to assess the accuracy of the available punching shear capacity equations including the new punching equations in ECP2018.201. The test results show that increasing in the punching shear capacity, decreasing of the average cracking widths, and improving in an integrity of the slab specimens which reinforcing by glass fiber thin mesh sheets in the post cracking stage in comparison with conventional reinforced concrete slabs.

This paper attempts to reveal the flexural behaviors of concrete slab reinforced with GFRP bars. Through flexural test, the deformation process and failure mode of concrete slabs reinforced with GFRP bars and steel bars are examined, respectively. The deflection, cracking load, ultimate load and concrete strain are compared between two kinds of concrete slabs. From the test results, it is clarified that the moment-deflection curve of GFRP reinforced concrete slab can be divided into two stages. Before concrete cracks the behaviors of two kinds of concrete slabs are almost the same. However, the deflection of concrete slabs reinforced with GFRP bars increases much faster after cracking and the stress-strain diagram is linear up to rupture with no discernible yield point. The ultimate load of concrete slabs reinforced with GFRP bars is 1.2 times of that of concrete slabs reinforced with steel bars. Based on the test results, finite element analysis is performed in order to study the influence of reinforcement ratio. Parameter analysis shows that the flexural rigidity of GFRP reinforced concrete slabs increases with the reinforcement ratio after cracking.
