Through repair and reinforcement of breaking reinforced concrete beams by epoxy resin and carbon cloth, and its experiment, the crack and deformation and bearing capacity as well as ductility of such beams are obtained. Experimental results show that the ultimate bearing capacity of beams after reinforcement increased by 210%, the structure ductility fell by 170%, structural failure form is similar to failure in normal cross section.

Concrete cracking causes a gradual change in strain distributions along the cross section height of reinforced concrete beams, which will finally affect their instantaneous stiffness. A method for assessing the stiffness is proposed based on the gradual change, which is considered through modeling different strain distributions for key sections in cracked regions. Internal force equilibria are adopted to find a solution to top strains and neutral axes in the models, and then the inertias of the key sections are calculated to assess the beam stiffness. The proposed method has been validated using experimental results obtained from tests on five reinforced concrete beams. The predicted stiffness and displacements are shown to provide a good agreement with experimental data. The instantaneous stiffness is proven to greatly depend on the crack number and depth. This dependence can be exactly reflected by the proposed method through simulating the gradual change in concrete strain distributions.

Three reinforcement materials with steel plate, epoxies resin sheet, and glass fiber sheet adhering to failed reinforced concrete beams (RC beams) were used to improve the bearing capacity of Reinforced Concrete beams in the paper. The test results shows all the three materials were proved satisfied with bearing capacity increasing request. Strengthening effects with steel plate and epoxies resin sheet were more obvious.

Bearing capacity of normal cross section of bending concrete elements reinforced with reinforced concrete ring under load was investigated. Experimental researches of 4 sets of beams with the total number of 16 units were carried out. The results of changes of stress-strain state settings depending on the load level, additional reinforcement, influence of limit level load were analyzed. The three characteristic stages of stress-strain state of reinforced concrete beams strengthened with reinforced concrete ring were defined. Results of experimental investigations of bearing capacity of normal cross section of strengthened beams with reinforced concrete ring under load were presented. Enhancing effect was calculated. According to the results of researches of strengthened beams plots of strain of working armature depending on current bending moment were constructed.

Abstract This work is based on an experimental investigation of reinforced concrete beams strengthened to flexure for wrapping applying a type of metallic connector in the bond substrate/groute. The experimental program consisted of 5 beams used for reference (without strengthening), 5 beams reinforced with surface brushed texture substrate and 5 beams with metal connectors bonded to the substrate. The beams were submitted to four-point load bending test. Initially with a partial loading, executed the strengthening and were finally tested until the break. The strengthening was made up by the increase by graute, on the sides and bottom of the beam and reinforcing. The applied force, the displacement, deformations in steel and in concrete were measured. The reference beams failure by flexing with the calculated charges. The bending strengthening proved efficient, increasing the bearing capacity in 44% and the failure was by shear in the stretch without strengthening. Beams with connectors the increase was higher.
