Study on the Calculation Method for Flexural Capacity of Pre-Stressed Concrete Hollow-Core Slabs Strengthened with CFRP
In recent years, the carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP) has been widely used in field of structural reinforcement. To investigate the effect of different amount of CFRP strengthening pre-stressed concrete hollow-core slabs and the capacity calculation methods, test data of six slabs reinforced with CFRP at different amount were compared to obtain a available calculation formula of flexural capacity. The results showed that the bearing capacity and ductility of these specimens are significantly improved strengthened with CFRP; the proposed method of calculation is safe, simple, practical and relatively high accuracy, the calculation results coincide well with experimental results, and it has a certain reference value for the calculation of the followed studies and practical projects.
