This paper illustrates the results of an experimental study on the bending performance of concrete beams strengthened with near-surface mounted (NSM) FRP reinforcement. The critical parameter of the embedded length of NSM-FRP plates was investigated in particularly. The test results indicated that NSM-FRP reinforcement can significantly improve the strength and crack resistance capacity of the concrete beam, reducing the size of cracks. The embedded length of the NSM-FRP plate has distinct influence on the cracking and bending capacity, the flexural stiffness, and the crack developments of the concrete beam. As the embedded length increased, the bending capacity and the flexural stiffness increased correspondingly and the crack developed more intensively.

Reinforced Beams

The flexural behavior of concrete beams reinforced with CFRP-PCPs composite rebars was studied. Experimental results showed that the deflection of beams reinforced with highly prestressed prisms is at service loads coMParable to deflection of steel reinforced beam. Flexural cracks of CFRP-PCPs composite rebars reinforced beams are hairline before prism cracking, and widened after the prism cracking. When the concrete beam was reinforced with the prestressed concrete prisms, the crack width decreased as the prestress in the prism increased.

Flexural Members

Use of hollow material in slab can reduce self-weight and deflection than solid slab with CFRP reinforcement. This study was intended to evaluate the bending performance of void flexural members with CFRP reinforcements by bending tests. Test results showed that specimens with void and solid section had the similar failure mode by concrete crushing at the compression zone, and that there was a big flexural capacity difference between the two section. Flexural capacity of solid section with CFRP bars was increased by 55% for void section. Thus, for the design of flexural members with CFRP bars by concrete crushing failure, it is important to calculate the exact distribution of strains and stresses, and to consider the reduction of flexural strength of void section.

Bamboo Reinforcement

The flexural behavior of concrete beams reinforced with bamboo was studied experimentally. Bamboo was used as the main reinforcement with different bonding materials in place of steel. A nominal mix of M20 grade concrete was adopted for the beam design. The Bamboo surface was treated with common binding materials like Araldite and Bitumen. Araldite and Bitumen are good binding materials used to connect materials like steel, carbon and many different materials. Two specimens were casted with bitumen coating, two specimens were coated with araldite, two specimens were casted without any binder coating and a specimen was casted using normal steel reinforcement. Beams were casted with bamboo reinforcement and cured for 28 days. Deflection and flexural behavior of the beams were monitored. The test results imply that araldite coating in concrete beams with bamboo reinforcement increased the flexural strength to that of bamboo reinforced concrete using bitumen which is lesser strength to that of steel reinforced concrete beam.

Reversed Cyclic

This paper reports on an experimental study on the flexural behavior of fiber reinforced polymer (FRP)-concrete-steel double skin cantilever beams (referred to as DSTBs) that were tested under reversed cyclic loading. The beams were manufactured using a high-strength concrete (HSC) mix and they were 150 mm in diameter and 1.2 m in length. The main parameters of the experimental study included the size of the inner steel tube and the use of mechanical connectors in the form of steel rings welded on the inner steel tube. Test results indicate that DSTBs are capable of developing a highly ductile behavior under reversed cyclic lateral displacement excursions. It is found that the addition of mechanical connectors on the steel tube has no significant influence on the lateral displacement capacity of the test specimens, but they can eliminate the slippage between the concrete and inner steel tube. Examination of the test results has led to a number of significant conclusions on the influence of the beam parameters on the performance of DSTBs, which are discussed in the paper.

Six specimens, including 4 ceramsite concrete beams(one of beams mixed into the polypropylene fiber ) and 2 normal concrete beams, were tested to investigate the flexural behavior. The test results show that cracking load of ceramsite concrete beams is slightly smaller than the ordinary concrete beam and cracking load of ceramsite concrete beams has significantly improved after mixing into the polypropylene fibers. The ultimate load of ceramsite concrete beams are no less than ordinary concrete beam,and fibers have not effects on the increase of ultimate load. Load-deflection curves were compared,and the results show that stiffness of ceramsite concrete beam is less than ordinary concrete beam. Ductility of ceramsite concrete beam is poorer than ordinary concrete beam. Fibers improve the stiffness of ceramsite concrete beam. Cover thickness of concrete beam has little effect on the performance of ceramsite concrete beam.

Fourteen concrete beams reinforced with 500MPa longitudinal steel bars, of which 6 with skin reinforcement and 8 without skin reinforcement, were tested under two-point symmetrical concentrated static loading to investigate their flexural behavior. The results indicate that the flexural behavior and deflection mode of test beams with skin reinforcement are basically consistent with those of test beams without skin reinforcement. The use of skin reinforcement can significantly reduce average crack spacing and short-time maximum crack width. And the use of skin reinforcement can also slightly increase the short-time stiffness. Under the serviceability limit state, mid-span deflections are in good agreement with the calculated values according to formula in GB50010-2010. However most of calculated average crack spacing and short-time maximum crack width are larger than measured values. According to the test results, the normal formula of crack width should be revised.
