In this study, an experimental investigation had conducted for six high strength laced reinforced concrete one-way slabs to discover the behavior of laced structural members after being exposed to fire flame (high temperature). Self-compacted concrete (SCC) had used to achieve easy casting and high strength concrete. All the adopted specimens were identical in their compressive strength of ( , geometric layout 2000 750 150 mm and reinforcement specifics except those of lacing steel content, three ratios of laced steel reinforcement of (0.0021, 0.0040 and 0.0060) were adopted. Three specimens were fired with a steady state temperature of  for two hours duration and then after the specimens were cooled suddenly by spraying water. The simply supported slabs were tested for flexure behavior with two line loads applied in the middle third of the slab (four-point bending test). The average residual percentage of cubic compression strength and splitting tensile strength were 57.5% and 50% respectively. The outcomes indicated that the residual bending strength of the burned slabs with laced ratios (0.0021, 0.004, 0.006) were (72.56, 70.54 and 70.82%) respectively. However; an increase in the deflection was gained to be (11.34, 14.67 and 17.22%) respectively with respect to non-burned specimens.

Abstract Major advantage of fibre reinforced polymers (FRPs) is their high strength and low weight to strength ratio. These are also the main reasons for a choice for this material in the process of design of reinforced concrete structures. Since there is no corrosion of FRP, this reinforcement could be strongly recommended for concrete reinforcement in aggressive environment. Till today there is no sufficient knowledge of long-term behaviour of FRP-reinforced concrete structures. Design codes give low utilization capacity of FRP materials and are not supposed to be correct according to the real behaviour in a few experiments of last decades. Reduction factors limit the mechanical properties in the range from 0.95 for CFRP to 0.5 for GFRP. In the paper there is presented a prepared and today realized long-term experimental study based on four point bending test on simply supported concrete beams reinforced with GFRP reinforcement.

Textile-reinforced concrete (TRC) is a material consisting of high-performance concrete (HPC) and tensile reinforcement comprised of carbon roving with epoxy resin matrix. However, the problem of low epoxy resin resistance at higher temperatures persists. In this work, an alternative to the epoxy resin matrix, a non-combustible cement suspension (cement milk) which has proven stability at elevated temperatures, was evaluated. In the first part of the work, microscopic research was carried out to determine the distribution of particle sizes in the cement suspension. Subsequently, five series of plate samples differing in the type of cement and the method of textile reinforcement saturation were designed and prepared. Mechanical experiments (four-point bending tests) were carried out to verify the properties of each sample type. It was found that the highest efficiency of carbon roving saturation was achieved by using finer ground cement (CEM 52.5) and the pressure saturation method. Moreover, this solution also exhibited the best results in the four-point bending test. Finally, the use of CEM 52.5 in the cement matrix appears to be a feasible variant for TRC constructions that could overcome problems with its low temperature resistance.

Automated fiber placement (AFP) has been widely used as an advanced manufacturing technology for large and complex composite parts and the trajectory planning of the laying path is the primary task of AFP technology. Proposed in this paper is an experimental study on the effect of several different path planning placements on the mechanical behavior of laminated materials. The prepreg selected for the experiment was high-strength toughened epoxy resin T300 carbon fiber prepreg UH3033-150. The composite laminates with variable angles were prepared by an eight-tow seven-axis linkage laying machine. After the curing process, the composite laminates were conducted by tensile and bending test separately. The test results show that there exists an optimal planning path among these for which the tensile strength of the laminated specimens decreases slightly by only 3.889%, while the bending strength increases greatly by 16.68%. It can be found that for the specific planning path placement, the bending strength of the composite laminates is significantly improved regardless of the little difference in tensile strength, which shows the importance of path planning and this may be used as a guideline for future AFP process.

Through the four-point bending test of lath-shaped heat treated AZ31 magnesium alloy, the bending properties and damage characteristics were explored. The results show that the optimal bending strength of the magnesium alloy were 355.1MPa and 259.2MPa for extruded and cast samples, respectively, after corresponding heat treatment with 350°C, 90min and 400°C, 30min. The initial cracks both occurred at the loading point after applied load exceeded the yield limit of AZ31 magnesium alloy. Surface bump, cracks and other damage morphology accompanied by a large number of twinning organizations were found on the surface of the samples.

Insertion Process

Particle reinforcement via the insertion of hard particles is a promising process in materials reinforcing. Particle-reinforced spheroidal graphite martensitic cast iron (SGMC), in which mixed particles of cermet and cemented carbide are dispersed, was achieved by an insertion process. A four-point bending strength test was applied to evaluate the particle composite material. An evaporative pattern process was used on the bending-test specimen to form a composite layer in the central part. Using a combination of three sizes of cermet particles and two sizes of cemented-carbide particles, the bending strength was found to increase with each small-particle combination. The Weibull coefficient m of the four-point bending strength of the particle-reinforced composite material (PRCM) ranged from 4 to 13, and m was large in the specimen with large bending strength.

In various kinds of shape memory alloy (SMA), Fe-based SMA (Fe-SMA) shows smaller shape memory effect compared with the other SMAs. However, Fe-SMA shows huge advantages on the excellent formability, machinability, etc. Moreover, its production cost is cheaper than other SMAs; therefore, the alloy is attempted to be applied to structural members such as joints and dampers. Since bending deformation at higher deformation rate is generated in the members, especially the joints, due to impact force such as earthquake or wind, a clarification on the bending strength of the joints at various deformation rate is strongly required. In this study, at first, it is attempted that the bending strength and its rate sensitivity of the joints which consist of Fe-based SMA are experimentally estimated by the three-point bending test at various deformation rate. Then, the force balance equation is challenged to be derived to predict the bending strength.

Presented contribution deals with using textile reinforced concrete containing newly invented high strength cement matrix for strengthening concrete structures. The issue of old concrete ́s surface interaction with newly applied slim layer of textile reinforced concrete is investigated and verified by bending test. Water to binder ration under 0.3, maximum size of used silica sand 1.2 mm, and compressive strength over 100 MPa characterize used fine grain cement matrix. Over 12 months old beams with dimension 100 x 100 x 400 mm made from ordinary concrete were used for strengthening during performed experimental program. Strengthening took place on bending side. Different number (1, 3 and 5) of textile fabrics made from alkali-resistant glass (surface density 275 g/m2) was applied into slim layer of cement composite. Increasing number of used fabrics leads to different failure mode due shearing force action.

Novel biomaterials for application to artificial bone with modulus of elasticity close to that of natural bone were prepared using bioresorbable poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) and high-strength β–Ca(PO3)2 fibers treated with dilute NaOH solution. PLLA dissolved by using methylene chloride was mixed with the fibers. After drying the mixture, it was hot-pressed uniaxially under a pressure of 40 MPa at 180 °C, resulting in fabrication of a PLLA composite containing β–Ca(PO3)2 fibers. Almost no degradation in the bending strength was observed even when a large amount of the fibers (≈50 wt. %) was introduced, and the modulus of elasticity was increased effectively with increasing the fiber content. The PLLA composite with modulus of elasticity of <5 GPa similar to that of natural bone was found to be prepared when the fiber content was over 35 wt. %. The bending test of the composites showed that very high energy is consumed for their fracture and that the fracture proceeds step by step, even beyond the maximum stress.
