Textile Reinforced Mortar

In this study, nine specimens were experimentally tested to analyze the strengthening efficiency of textile-reinforced mortar (TRM) and the difference in flexural behavior between prestressed and non-prestressed TRM-strengthened reinforced concrete beam. The test results show that TRM strengthening improves the flexural strength of TRM-strengthened reinforced concrete beams with alkali-resistant-(AR-) glass textile as well as that with carbon textile. However, in the case of textile prestressing, the strengthening efficiency for flexural strength of the AR-glass textile was higher than that of the carbon textile. The flexural stiffness of AR-glass textiles increased when prestressing was introduced and the use of carbon textiles can be advantageous to reduce the decreasing ratio of flexural stiffness as the load increased. In the failure mode, textile prestressing prevents the damage of textiles effectively owing to the crack and induces the debonding of the TRM.

Hose Clamp

Bamboo can use at the simple concrete construction because of the tensile strength of its mechanical property. Meanwhile, a slippery surface of the bamboo caused cracks in the bamboo reinforced concrete beam (BRC) not to spread and yield slip failure between a bamboo bar and concrete. Load test at the BRC beam yield humble load capacity. This study aims to improve the capacity and behavior of BRC beam bending by giving waterproof coating, sand, and hose clamp installation. The beam test specimen with the size of 75x150x1100mm made as many as 26 pieces with the variety of reinforcement. The hose clamp used on the bamboo reinforcement varies with a distance of 0 cm, 15 cm, 20 cm, and 25 cm. The testing using a simple beam with two-point loading. The test results show that BRC beams have different bending behavior compared to the steel reinforced concrete beam (SRC).

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the flexural behavior of over-reinforced concrete beam enhancement by bolted-compression steel plate (BCSP) with normal reinforced concrete beams under laboratory experimental condition. Three beams developed with steel plates were tested until they failed in compression compared with one beam without a steel plate. The thicknesses of the steel plates used were 6 mm, 10 mm, and 15 mm. The beams were simply supported and loaded monotonically with two-point loads. Load-deflection behaviors of the beams were observed, analyzed, and evaluated in terms of spall-off concrete loading, peak loading, displacement at mid-span, flexural stiffness (service and post-peak), and energy dissipation. The outcome of the experiment shows that the use of a steel plate can improve the failure modes of the beams and also increases the peak load and flexural stiffness. The steel development beams dissipated much higher energies with an increase in plate thicknesses than the conventional beam.

The One

The flexural behavior of FRP (Fiber Reinforced Polymer) reinforced concrete beam has been the topic of intensive previous research, because of the spread of use of modern FRP composite materials in the building industry as concrete reinforcement. The behavior of FRP reinforced member is different from the one reinforced with regular steel reinforcement, mainly because of vast difference between moduli of elasticity of FRP composite reinforcement bars and steel. This difference results in the fact that conventional design methods used for years in the field of reinforced concrete structures using steel reinforcement give poor results if attempted use with FRP reinforced structural members. Results of conventional methods are so poor that use of such methods would be dangerous they tend to overestimate load carrying capacity and underestimate deformations both resulting in unsafe predictions. This paper points to formulating easy to use and comprehensible method of predicting moment capacity of FRP reinforced concrete beams subjected to bending loading and validation of the proposed method via set of experiments.

Strengthening Method

A large impaired reinforced concrete beam with cracks was strengthened under self-weight action by the externally bonded steel frame composed with bottom steel plate and side hoop steel belts. The normal service loading behaviors of this beam were tested to verify the effectiveness of this strengthening method specified in current Chinese design code. Based on the analyses of test results, it can be concluded that: the deformation of flexural cross section of this beam fitted the assumption of plain cross section, the steel plate could effectively enhance the flexural stiffness and decrease the deflection of this beam, no new cracks appeared under the normal service loads, the cracks at bottom of this beam were more confined by the steel frame than those at web zone. Therefore, other measure should be taken to avoid the opening of web cracks.

Bamboo Reinforcement

The flexural behavior of concrete beams reinforced with bamboo was studied experimentally. Bamboo was used as the main reinforcement with different bonding materials in place of steel. A nominal mix of M20 grade concrete was adopted for the beam design. The Bamboo surface was treated with common binding materials like Araldite and Bitumen. Araldite and Bitumen are good binding materials used to connect materials like steel, carbon and many different materials. Two specimens were casted with bitumen coating, two specimens were coated with araldite, two specimens were casted without any binder coating and a specimen was casted using normal steel reinforcement. Beams were casted with bamboo reinforcement and cured for 28 days. Deflection and flexural behavior of the beams were monitored. The test results imply that araldite coating in concrete beams with bamboo reinforcement increased the flexural strength to that of bamboo reinforced concrete using bitumen which is lesser strength to that of steel reinforced concrete beam.

The ultimate tendon stress is the key to calculation of flexural capacity in reinforced concrete beam prestressed with external FRP tendons (RCBPEFT). Based on the theory of equivalent plastic hinge zone, the general formulas for calculating the ultimate tendon stress increment and ultimate tendon stress in RCBPEFT are therefore proposed. Comparisons indicate that the predictions are in good agreement with the test results.

The work aims to compare the flexural behavior of concrete beam using addition of steel fibers and glass fibers with normal beam in M30 grade concrete and to find the cracks developed in the concrete beam. Experiments include Compression test, Tensile strength and Flexural strength. In this study the performance of fiber reinforced concrete(FRC) beams under two- point loading system is discussed and comparative studies were made with normal mix concrete. In this study, we are casted the cube for 7 days and beam only for 28 days. The percentage addition by mass of cement for steel fiber is 1.5 % and percentage addition by mass of coarse aggregate for glass fiber is 1%. We are going to compare the results of compression test as well as flexural strength to normal concrete through different( 1.5 and 1) percentages. Final results, the comparison of normal beam to addition of fiber reinforced concrete beam, the maximum flexural strength is found in addition of steel fiber in concrete beam.

Abstract. In the view of the project problem that concrete strength grade is lower than C15in reinforced concrete beam, we consider a composite technology strengthened with CFRP, and do some monotonic loading experiments on these beams with eight different methods, and discuss the beam force behavior including ultimate bearing capacity, failure model and crack propagation. This paper finds out that the composite reinforced scheme, which with ticking trough, planting steel displaces concrete and gluing and then pasting CFRP, has a remarkable improvement than pasting CFRP immediately, and that there is a high coherence workability in the old and new concrete, so we can give full play to their role as the CFRP high strength.

The effect of the sulphate attack on reinforced concrete structures in Lagos lagoon environment has become a concern for stakeholders in the construction industry. This study investigated the flexural strength and microstructure of reinforced concrete beams for a period of 365 days. Thirty beams with dimension 150 mm × 150 mm × 600 mm were cast using grade 30 concrete with water cement ratio of 0.45 and cured for 28, 90 and 365 days, in both lagoon and fresh water. Flexural strength and microstructural test were carried out. The result showed that the flexural strength of concrete submerged in fresh and lagoon water were 24.6 and 20.3 N/mm2 respectively. The microstructure also confirmed the fact that specimens submerged in the lagoon had more defects and deterioration than the sample cured in fresh water at 365 days.
