Brittle Mode

This paper investigates the flexural performance of FRP/FRC hybrid reinforcement system as well as FRP/plain concrete beams. Test results showed that the crack widths of FRP/FRC beams were smaller than those of FRP/plain concrete beams at the different corresponding load. With the increase of load, the crack spacing slightly decreased. The plain concrete beams failed in a more brittle mode than the FRC beams. Once they reached their ultimate moments, the load dropped fleetly. Compared to the companion beam, the addition of fibers improved the flexural behavior.

Flexural Tests

Recently, many structures which were built about 30 years ago are watched by reconstruction. Demolished concrete is occurred in the process and these quantity increase about 10% more than the preceding year. Fortunately, recycled aggregates are produced from demolished concrete, whereas the recycled aggregates are not used often because there are not many researches which have been verified by experts or researchers about strength when reinforced concrete is made with recycled aggregates. In this paper, high strength reinforced concrete is valued with potential applications and check change of strength when it made by recycled aggregates. For this, flexural tests of 4 high strength reinforced concrete beams with recycled aggregates were performed, and the high strength reinforced concrete beams were tested within the limits such as compressive strength, flexural strength, ductility, strain, and curvature. The current test data were examined in terms of flexural strength, along with the data from previously tested reinforced concrete beams with recycled aggregates.

Hybrid Reinforcement

An experimental study was carried out to evaluate the ductility of reinforced concrete beams longitudinally reinforced with hybrid FRP-Steel bars. The specimens were fourteen reinforced concrete beams with and without hybrid reinforcement. The test variables were bars position, the ratio of longitudinal reinforcement, and the type of FRP bars. The beams were loaded up to failure using a four-point bending test. The performance of the tested beams was observed using the load-deflection curve obtained from the test. Numerical analysis using the fiber element model was used to examine the growth of neutral axis depth due to the effect of test variables. The neutral axis curves were then used to further estimate the neutral axis angle and neutral axis displacement index. The test results show that the position of the reinforcement greatly influences the flexural behavior of the beam with hybrid reinforcement. It was observed from the test that the flexural capacity of beams with hybrid reinforcement is 4% to 50% higher than that of the beams with conventional steel bars depending on bars position and the ratio of longitudinal reinforcement. The ductility decreases as the hybrid reinforcement ratio (Af/As) increases. This study also showed that a numerical model developed can predict the flexural behavior of beams with hybrid reinforcement with reasonable accuracy.

Flexural Performance

This paper investigates the flexural performance of plain concrete beams bonded with wire mesh-epoxy composite. A total of four beam specimens were prepared and tested. Three specimens were bonded with same amount of wire mesh-epoxy composite with varying composite width and one plain concrete specimen was used as a control. The effect of wire mesh-epoxy composite on enhancing the flexural behaviour of concrete beams as well as the effect of different configurations of composite was studied. Test results showedthat the wire mesh-epoxy composite increased the flexural strength of concrete beams. The increase in energy absorption of bonded beams was remarkable. In addition, specimen with large composite width showed better behaviour with respect to energy absorption capability.
