This paper gives the influence of the coarse aggregate size on the mechanical properties of the beam with different coarse aggregate sizes under static loads. In the research, three reinforced concrete beams with three different coarse aggregate sizes separately are tested. The stains and the deflections of the beams under the static loads are measured. The results show that under the action of the same loads, the maximum strains of the reinforced concrete beams with the big and the small aggregate size separately are larger than that of the beam with mixed aggregate size, and the deflection of the beam with the big aggregate size is larger than that of the beam with small aggregate size. In the loading process, the changes of the normal section strain of the reinforced concrete beams are satisfied the assumption of the plane section.

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.

The article is devoted to the experimental studies of the stress and strain state of the two-pass reinforced concrete beams under the influence of low-cyclic repeated and alternating loads. Based on the results of experimental studies, the effect of low-cyclic repeated and alternating loads on the change of the stress and strain state of continuous reinforced concrete beams has been established. In the course of testing the sample, it was found that the stress and strain state of the beams under the action of the above mentioned loads is significantly different from the stress and strain state of the beams under the action of nonalternating static loads, namely, the decrease of the bearing capacity, the increase of the deflections and the width of the cracking. All this is due to the change in the physical and mechanical properties of concrete in response to the above-mentioned loads on experimental.

The paper makes an analysis of the reinforced concrete beams with exterior FRP Shell in Finite Element, and compares it with the test results. The results show that, by means of this model, mechanical properties of reinforced concrete beams with exterior FRP shell can be predicted better. However, the larger the load, the larger deviation between calculated values and test values. Hence, if more accurate calculation is required, issues of contact interface between the reinforced concrete beams and the FRP shell should be taken into consideration.

Abstract: Reinforced concrete structures are frequently in need of repair and strengthening as a result of numerous environmental causes, ageing, or material damage under intense stress conditions, as well as mistakes made during the construction process. RC structures are repaired using a variety of approaches nowadays. The usage of FRC is one of the retrofitting strategies. Steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC) was used in this investigation because it contains randomly dispersed short discrete steel fibers that operate as internal reinforcement to improve the cementitious composite's characteristics (concrete). The main rationale for integrating small discrete fibers into a cement matrix is to reduce the amount of cement used. The principal reason for incorporating short discrete fibers into a cement matrix is to reduce cracking in the elastic range, increase the tensile strength and deformation capacity and increase the toughness of the resultant composite. These properties of SFRC primarily depend upon length and volume of Steel fibers used in the concrete mixture. In India, the steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC) has seen limited applications in several structures due to the lack of awareness, design guidelines and construction specifications. Therefore, there is a need to develop information on the role of steel fibers in the concrete mixture. The experimental work reported in this study includes the mechanical properties of concrete at different volume fractions of steel fibers. These mechanical properties include compressive strength, split tensile strength and flexural strength and to study the effect of volume fraction and aspect ratio of steel fibers on these mechanical properties. However, main aim of the study was significance of reinforced concrete beams strengthened with fiber reinforced concrete layer and to investigate how these beams deflect under strain. The objective of the investigation was finding that applying FRC to strengthen beams enhanced structural performance in terms of ultimate load carrying capacity, fracture pattern deflection, and mode of failure or not.

The Cost

Structural elements such as beams, slabs, and columns may require strengthening or repair during their service life. Different repair materials (RMs) are available and it is usually difficult to choose the best ones, especially when considering the cost of such materials. This paper presents the results of an experimental investigation of patch RMs on plain concrete prisms as well as on reinforced concrete beams. Three cement-based RMs available in the market with different mechanical properties and an ordinary Portland cement (OPC) mix produced in the lab were used in the study. Damage was induced in prisms/beams and then repaired using different materials. The experimental work included assessment of the flexural strength of damaged/repaired plain concrete prisms; slant shear (bond) strength between the concrete and the RM; axial strength of damaged/repaired plain concrete prisms and bond of the repair materials in damaged/repaired reinforced concrete beams loaded to failure. The test results showed that all RMs performed well in restoring the strength of damaged plain concrete. Compatibility of the RMs with substrate concrete was found to be more important in the behavior than superior mechanical properties of the RMs. No difference was noted in the behavior between the RMs in repairing reinforced concrete beams at the tension side.

The Impact

This article presents results of a theoretical study of reinforced concrete beams with damaged reinforcement. The change of micro-hardness of a reinforcing rebar’s with a diameter of 20 mm of A500C steel in the radial direction is investigated and the thickness of the heat-strengthened layer is established. It is established that the thickness of the thermo-strengthened steel layer of the reinforcing bar with a diameter of 20 mm of A500C is approximately 3 mm. It is shown that the strength characteristics of this layer are on 50% higher compared to the core material of the rebar, while the plasticity characteristics are lower. The aim of the work is to determine the strength and deformability of reinforced concrete structures without damaging the reinforcement and in case of damage. Determining the impact of changes in the physical characteristics of reinforcement on the damage of reinforced concrete structures, according to the calculation to the valid norms, in accordance with the deformation model. To achieve the goal of the work, theoretical calculations of reinforced concrete beams were performed according to the deformation model, according to valid norms. This technique uses nonlinear strain diagrams of concrete and rebar and is based on an iterative method. According to the research program 3 beam samples were calculated. Among them were undamaged control sample with single load bearing reinforcement of ∅20 mm diameter – BC-1; sample with ∅20 mm reinforcement with damages about 40% without changes in the physical and mechanical properties of reinforcement – BD-2 and sample with ∅20 mm reinforcement with damages about 40% with changes in the physical and mechanical properties of reinforcement – BD-3. The influence of change of physical and mechanical characteristics of rebar’s on bearing capacity of the damaged reinforced concrete beams is established.
