 The use of carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) sheets is becoming a widely accepted solution for strengthening and repairing rein-forced concrete (RC) structures. To date, the behavior of RC beams, strengthened with 60˚ and 45˚ inclined CFRP sheets, has not clearly explained. An experimental program is proposed in this paper to investigate the flexural behavior of RC beams strengthened with CFRP sheets. CFRP sheets were epoxy bonded to the tension face to enhance the flexural strength of beams inducing different orientation angles of 0˚, 45˚, 60˚ and 90˚ with the beam longitudinal axis. The study shows that strengthening RC beams with CFRP sheets is highly influenced by the orientation angle of the sheets. The orientation angle plays a key role in changing the crack pattern and hence the failure mode. The influence of CFRP sheets was adequate on increasing the flexural strength of RC beams but the ductility of the beams was reduced. The best performance was obtained when strengthening RC beam obliquely using 45˚ inclined CFRP sheets where the specimen experienced additional deflection and strength of 56% and 12% respectively and the reduction in its ductility was the least. It is recom-mended to strengthen RC beams, which are weak in flexure, using 45˚ inclined CFRP sheets.

This paper presents the results of both analytical and experimental study on the repair effectiveness of Carbon Fibre Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) sheets for RC beams with different levels of pre-repair damage severity. It highlights the effect of fixing CFRP sheets to damaged beams on the load capacity, mid-span deflection, the steel strain and the CFRP strain and failure modes. The analytical study was based on a Finite Element (FE) model of the beam using brick and embedded bar elements for the concrete and steel reinforcement, respectively. The CFRP sheets and adhesive interface were modelled using shell elements with orthotropic material properties and incorporating the ultimate adhesive strain obtained experimentally to define the limit for debonding. In order to validate the analytical model, the FE results were compared with the results obtained from laboratory tests conducted on a control beam and three other beams subjected to different damage loads prior to repair with CFRP sheets. The results obtained showed good agreement, and this study verified the adopted approach of modelling the adhesive interface between the RC beam and the CFRP sheets using the ultimate adhesive strains obtained experimentally.

Debonding of concrete occurs when the interface principal stress reaches the ultimate tensile strength. We propose the use of carbon fiber plate attached to the beam bottom, which makes finite element analysis of the mechanical properties of debonding concrete beams more reasonable. In addition, formulas of this theory are given and applied in the finite element analysis. Finally, it is shown by a number of experimental results.

This paper presents results of an experimental investigation that examined concrete beams post-tensioned with bonded carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) sheets and then exposed to either room (+22 °C) or low (-28 °C) temperatures. The primary objective of this investigation was to assess the flexural behaviour of the strengthened beams after sustained loadings at both room and low temperatures. The strengthened beams showed significant increases in flexural stiffness and ultimate capacity as compared with the control-unstrengthened beams. Failure of the strengthened beams was by tensile rupture of the prestressed CFRP sheets. Test results showed that the long-term and low temperature effects did not adversely affect the strength of the beams. Long-term loading and low temperature exposure caused prestress losses in the CFRP sheets. The load–deflection behaviour of the long-term beams was predicted accurately by an analytical model. These results suggest that bonded prestressed CFRP sheets could be used to increase the strength of damaged prestressed concrete girders under extreme environmental conditions.Key words: strengthening, anchorage, low temperature, long-term, prestress losses, sustained load, carbon fibre reinforced polymer sheet.
