The present study pertains to the load-deflection behavior and cracking moments of concrete beams with hybrid FRP-steel reinforcement. Under and over-reinforced hybrid beams were tested for failure along with reference beams with only steel or FRP reinforcement. The first-cracking moments of the beams were estimated analytically by using different uncracked moments of the inertia and modulus of rupture definitions. The uncracked moment of inertia definitions include the gross and uncracked transformed moments. The adopted modulus definitions are comprised of the experimental values from tests on prisms and the analytical values from the equations in different concrete codes. Furthermore, analytical methods were developed for estimating the deflections of concrete beams with hybrid FRP-steel or only FRP reinforcement. Two different types of elastic moduli, namely the secant modulus corresponding to the extreme compression fiber strain and the ACI 318M-19 modulus, were used in deflection calculations. Closer estimates were obtained by using the secant modulus, particularly in hybrid-reinforced beams. In the post-yielding region of the steel tension reinforcement, the deflection estimates were established to lay in closer proximity to the experimental curve when obtained by adding up the deflection increments instead of directly calculating the total deflections from the elastic curve equation. Accurate estimation of the cracking moment was found to be vital for the close prediction of deflections.

This paper aims to investigate the flexural behaviour of the rubberized and hybrid rubberized reinforced concrete beams. A total of fourteen beams, 150×200 mm in cross-section with 1000 mm in length, were subject to a laboratory test over an effective span of 900 mm. The sand river aggregate was replaced by 10%, 12.5%, and 15% of crumb rubber (volume).   The hybrid structure contained two double layers: 1) rubberized reinforcement concrete at the top layer of the beam and 2) reinforcement concrete at the bottom layer of the concrete beam. The static responses by the flexural test of all the beams were evaluated in terms of their fresh properties, failure patterns, total energy, flexural strength, stiffness, and ultimate deflection, modulus of rupture, strain capacity, and ductility index. The results showed that there were improvements when the hybrid beams were used in most cases such as failure pattern, ultimate load, stiffness, modulus of rupture, and stress. The rubberized concrete beams showed improvements in the strain capacity as illustrated in strain gauges and stress-strain curves, toughness, ultimate deflection, and ductility index. The findings of the study revealed an improved performance with the use of the hybrid beams. This has resulted in the implementation of innovative civil engineering applications in the engineering sustainable structures.

The Given

The paper considers the results of the experimental study of the reinforced concrete beams strengthened by carbon fiber reinforced plastics (the CFRP). Eight reinforced concrete beams of the 80x160 mm section and 1500 mm designed span have been manufactured and tested. The influence of the number of the CFRP layers (strengthening power) on bearing capacity and rigidity under the static loading of beams in the thirds of the span has been studied. The results obtained indicate the increase in bearing capacity of the reinforced beams from 24% up to 55% and the increase in rigidity by 45% for the commonly adopted limiting state, i.e. achieving ultimate deformations in concrete of the compressed zone). The paper underlines the need for using anchor devices in the form of U-shaped binders to ensure the efficiency of the given method of strengthening.

Concrete beams were strengthened by wrapping the shear edges of the beams twice at 45° in opposite directions by either carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) or glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP). The study included 3 CFRP wrapped beams, 3 GFRP wrapped beams, and 3 control beams, all of which were 150×250×2200 mm and manufactured with C20 concrete and S420a structural steel at the Gazi University Technical Education Faculty labs, Turkey. Samples in molds were cured by watering in the open air for 21 days. Four-point bending tests were made on the beam test specimens and the data were collected. Data were evaluated in terms of load displacement, bearing strength, ductility, and energy consumption. In the CFRP and GFRP reinforced beams, compared to controls, 38% and 42%, respectively, strength increase was observed. In all beams, failure-flexural stress occurred in the center as expected. Most cracking was observed in the flexural region 4. A comparison of CFRP and GFRP materials reveals that GFRP enforced parts absorb more energy. Both materials yielded successful results. Thicker epoxy application in both CFRP and GFRP beams was considered to be effective in preventing break-ups.

This paper gives the influences of the coarse aggregate size on the cracks of the beam with different aggregate sizes under static loads. The coarse aggregate sizes are ranked into three classes: small size (4.75mm ~ 19mm), big size (19mm ~ 37.5mm) and mixed size (4.75mm ~ 37.5mm). The developments of cracks of three reinforced concrete beams with the different of coarse aggregate sizes under the static loads are researched. The results show that under the action of the same loads, The reinforced concrete beams with the big aggregate size and mixed aggregate size have almost the same maximum crack width, while the maximum crack width of the beam with small aggregate size is less than formers. Using fractal theory, the fractal dimension of the cracks is studied. The result shows that the aggregate sizes have significant effect to the cracks on the reinforced beams.

In this paper, seven reinforced concrete beams (two contrast beams and five externally reinforced beams) were tested. The crack regularity under different tension stresses was analyzed through experimental data. Taking the stress mode under pressure for the triangle area, in the tension zone in the shape of a trapezoid , the crack resistance equation of externally prestressing reinforced rectangle beam is derived from balance method of the internal forces and moment, and the results coincide with the experiment results well.

The results of an experimental study of the strength and stress-strain state of reinforced concrete beams in the zone of shear bending are presented. The study was carried out on samples with a small percentage of longitudinal section reinforcement. The technique of testing, data on the rigidity and crack resistance of test specimens under loading, the nature of their destruction are presented. Comparison of experimental values of failure loads with calculated values obtained by the methods of domestic and foreign design standards is performed. It is shown that the empirical basis of the calculation methods limits the range of satisfactory correspondence between the calculated and experimental values of the strength of inclined sections of reinforced concrete beams under the action of shear forces. The conclusion is made about the need to improve the design models to ensure the constructive safety of design solutions.

Corrosion Of Steel

Transverse reinforcement plays a key role in the response behavior of reinforced concrete beams. Therefore, corrosion of steel stirrups may change the failure mode of elements from bending to shear, leading to a brittle and catastrophic crisis. It is important to strengthen reinforced concrete beams with corroded stirrups to enhance the shear resistance. This paper presents a formulation, based on the modified compression field theory, to estimate the ultimate shear of reinforced concrete beams strengthened with FRP, because of stirrup corrosion. The detrimental effect of corrosion on steel stirrup yield strength was taken into account by introducing an empirical decay law. The effective strain of FRP reinforcement was adequately evaluated by considering both debonding and tensile stress rupture. The proposed model was validated against collected experimental results, showing a good ability to evaluate shear strength. Moreover, a numerical analysis was carried out to highlight the role of the key parameters predicting the ultimate shear.

Frp Reinforcement

This paper presents an analytical method for calculating the cracking moment of concrete beams reinforced with fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) bars, which considers the non-linear behavior of concrete in the tension zone and the contribution of FRP reinforcement. Theoretical cracking moments obtained by the proposed method were verified with the experimental results and the theoretical results calculated according to ACI 440.1R-15. The comparison results show good agreement between theoretical and experimental data. A parametric study on the effect of longitudinal FRP reinforcement ratio and elastic modulus of FRP on the cracking moment of FRP reinforced concrete beams also were done by using the proposed method. The parametric study results show that both longitudinal reinforcement and modulus of elasticity of FRP significantly affect the cracking moment of FRP reinforced concrete beams. Moreover, parametric study results also clarify the weakness of ACI 440.1R-15 in determining the cracking moment of concrete beams reinforced with a large amount of FRP reinforcement ratio and with high modulus of elasticity of FRP.

Load Carrying

Owing to the good ductility of steel and high strength and excellent corrosion resistance of fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP), concrete beams reinforced with hybrid steel and FRP bars exhibit better ductility than FRP-reinforced concrete beams as well as higher load-carrying capacities and better corrosion resistance than steel-reinforced concrete beams. However, the inherent brittleness of concrete in tension results in steel corrosion because of wide cracks and accelerated fracture of FRP reinforcement because of crack-induced stress concentration. This study investigated the effects of ultra-high ductile engineered cementitious composites (ECCs) on the flexural behaviour of hybrid steel and FRP-reinforced beams. Six hybrid-reinforced beams with various reinforcement ratios, matrix types and ECC pouring positions were tested in four-point bending. The flexural behaviours of the beams in terms of failure modes, crack patterns and developments, load versus deformation relationships and ductility are discussed herein in detail. We observed that substituting ECC with concrete results in a higher load-carrying capacity and better ductility of the hybrid reinforced beams owing to the excellent characteristics of ECC materials. When a layer of ECC is poured in the tension zone, the average crack width and crack spacing along the beam decrease; therefore, the longitudinal reinforcements can be adequately protected.

This paper presents an experimental program of initial testing of reinforced concrete beams using bars and textiles carried out with an aim of comparative analysis of the behaviour of reinforced concrete beams using textiles in relation to conventional reinforced beams. Alkalineresistant glass fibre textile meshes were used for the purposes of the experiment. An experiment setting is described and obtained test results are presented in this paper. An analysis of the obtained results is presented at the end of the paper. The experimental program demonstrated that adding textile mesh, besides improvement of the durability of the protective layer of concrete, can improve the load-bearing capacity and ductility of reinforced concrete beams. There is still an issue related to workability of concrete in textile reinforced beams and achievement of full adhesion between textile mesh and concrete. At the end of the paper, a suggestion was given about semi-prefabricated reinforced concrete beams using reinforced bars and textiles.
