Introduction.The current stage of development of the construction industry is associated with the introduction of new materials into practice, compared with the «traditional» (steel, concrete, wood) have certain advantages in the form of improved strength, corrosion resistance, etc. These materials include non-metallic composite reinforcement.Problems Statement. The main disadvantage of non-metallic composite reinforcement (except for carbon fiber reinforcement) is significantly lower modulus of elasticity compared to metal reinforcement. This is the reason for the occurrence of excessive deformations in concrete structures, does not ensure the fulfillment of the requirements for the second group of limiting states. One of the ways to reduce the de-formations of concrete structures, without a significant increase in the percentage of reinforcement of the section, is the use of hybrid reinforcement, when reinforcement is performed simultaneously with metal and composite reinforcement. Currently, there is a very limited amount of experimental data on the stress-strain state of structures with such reinforcement.Purpose. Research of the stress-strain state of structures with hybrid reinforcement, establishing its effectiveness and the optimal ratio of the content of metal and composite reinforcement to achieve sat-isfactory strength and stiffness of a concrete structure.Materials and Methods. The work of beams under load, reinforced with basalt-plastic reinforce-ment, metal reinforcement (control series) and with hybrid reinforcement with metal and basalt-plastic re-inforcement simultaneously was researched. To find out the effect of changes in the content of basalt-plas-tic reinforcement in relation to metal on the performance of beams with hybrid reinforcement, various series of samples of beams with different ratios of basalt-plastic and metal reinforcement.Results. On the basis of the conducted studies, the nature of the work and destruction of concrete beams with hybrid reinforcement was assessed depending on the percentage of metal and basalt-plas-tic reinforcement. The strength indicators of concrete beams with hybrid reinforcement were obtained and analyzed. The test results showed that the strength of beams with hybrid reinforcement increased in comparison with beams of the control series and was at the level of beams reinforced with basalt-plastic reinforcement. At the same time, the deflections and crack width of the beams decreased.Conclusion. The use of hybrid reinforcement makes it possible to increase the bearing capacity of concrete beams, depending on the percentage of reinforcement in the section. The determining factors for the strength of beams with hybrid reinforcement are the strength of the concrete in the compressed zone and the percentage of section reinforcement. The optimal percentage of the ratio of metal and basalt reinforcement in concrete beams with hybrid reinforcement is 60 % / 40 %.Keywords:beams with hybrid reinforcement, basaltoplastic reinforcement, steel reinforcement, strength, deformability.

This research study is to introduce and investigate an effective technique of external pre-tensioning using steel strapping (SSTT) to reduce the brittleness and enhance the ductility of high-strength concrete cylinders.  Fifteen cylinders with dimension of 150 mm and 300 mm in diameter and height respectively were casted, pre-tensioned with two and four layers of steel strapping and tested to failure under uniaxial monotonic and cyclic compression. The behaviour of SSTT confined cylinders was studied through their stress-strain relationship upon the longitudinal deflection, transverse strain, mode of failure, confinement ratio, and existence of an envelope curve. It is experimentally proved that SSTT confinement do helps in controlling the brittleness problem of high-strength concrete and at the same time, enhancing both the concrete ductility and compressive strength up to 46.2 % and 112.5 % respectively. The envelope curve of uniaxial cyclic loading also coincides with the corresponding monotonic loading curve, regardless of any loading activity. The observed stress-strain relationship of confined cylinders with different confining ratios are compared with existing strength and strain models and a stress-strain prediction model, the result showed a linear relationship between the compressive strength and strain enhancement and confining ratio, with acceptable agreement between the prediction model.

It is well established that lateral confinement of concrete enhances its axial strength and deformability. It is often assumed that, at a same level of confining pressure, the axial compressive stress and strain of fiber reinforced polymer (FRP)-confined concrete at a given lateral strain are the same as those in concrete actively confined concrete. To assess the validity of this assumption, an experimental program relating both types of confinement systems was conducted. 25 FRP-confined and actively confined high-strength concrete (HSC) specimens cast from a same batch of concrete were tested under axial compression. The axial stress-strain and lateral strain-axial strain curves obtained from the two different confinement systems were assessed. The results indicate that, at a given axial strain, lateral strains of actively confined and FRP-confined concretes correspond, when they are subjected to the same lateral confining pressure. However, it is observed that, at these points of intersections on axial strain-lateral strain curves, FRP-confined concrete exhibits a lower axial stress than the actively confined concrete, indicating that the aforementioned assumption is not accurate. The test results indicate that the difference in the axial stresses of FRP-confined and actively confined HSC becomes more significant with an increase in the level of confining pressure.

It is well established that external confinement of concrete with fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) sheets results in significant improvements on the axial compressive behavior of concrete. This understanding has led to a large number of experimental studies being conducted over the last two decades. However, the majority of these studies have focused on normal strength concretes (NSC) with compressive strengths lower than 55 MPa, and studies on higher strength concretes have been very limited. This paper presents the results of an experimental study on the compressive behavior of FRP confined high- and ultra high-strength concrete (HSC and UHSC) with average compressive strengths of 65 and 100 MPa. A total of 29 specimens were tested under axial compression to investigate the influence of key parameters such as concrete strength and method of confinement. All specimens were cylindrical, confined with carbon FRP and were 305 mm in height and 152 mm in diameter. Results obtained from the laboratory testing were graphically presented in the form of axial stress-strain relationships and key experimental outcomes are discussed. The results of this experimental study indicate that above a certain confinement threshold, FRP-confined HSC and UHSC exhibit highly ductile behavior. The results also indicate that FRP-wrapped specimens perform similar to concrete-filled FRP tube (CFFT) specimens at ultimate condition, however notable differences are evident at the transition region when comparing stress-strain curves.
