Based on the cross-section bending of 5 carbon fiber concrete beams, the mechanism of deflection and strain of carbon fiber concrete beam were studied considering the variation of the length of carbon fiber and stirrup ratio. The experimental results show that the deflection of destruction increased with the increase of the length of the carbon fiber, and the effect of stirrup ratio on deflection and strain of beams is not obvious. The carbon fiber can effectively improve the brittle failure of concrete beam, and the stain of concrete accorded with that steel bar at the same height. According to the existing test model, the theoretical calculating formula of CFRC was proposed and applied for the cracking load calculation expression of CRFC beams, and theoretical calculated results agree well with experimental results.

Carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) sheets have recently become popular for use as repair or rehabilitation material for deteriorated carbon fiber reinforced concrete structures. Carbon fiber reinforced concrete beams were analyzed by finite element software ANASYS. Through the finite element analysis, the results showed that using bonded CFRP to strengthen R. C. beams can significantly increase their load carrying capacity. However, the beams with prestressed CFRP can withstand larger ultimate loads than beams with bonded CFRP. Using bonded CFRP to strengthen R. C. beams can obviously reduce the ultimate deflection.

Abstract This paper carries out a design analysis of reinforced concrete beams with steel fibers following the fib Model Code 2010 (MC 2010) procedures. The values obtained from the design calculations are compared with the experimental results of reinforced concrete beams with 20kg/m3 and 60 kg/m3 of steel fibers submitted to four-point bending tests. In the first part, the procedures for the classification and characterization of the material are explained. The experimental results of three-point bending tests performed on notched steel fiber reinforced concrete (FRC) beams following EN 14651 procedures are described. Moreover, the characterization of the FRC beams according to MC 2010, are carried out. In the second part, the flexural design of reinforced concrete beams with steel fibers, according to MC 2010, is carried out. A sectional analysis is performed in order to obtain the moment-curvature and the force-vertical displacement curves. The theoretical values are compared with the experimental results. Besides, a linear statistic analysis by means of the Rule of Mixture is carried out in order to analyze the variation of the flexural capacity of the reinforced beams with different amounts of steel fibers. The results demonstrated that the design rules described in the MC 2010 are on the safe side. The flexural resistance of concretes with different amounts of fiber incorporation can be determined by the Rule of Mixture, which has shown a high correlation factor (R2) with the experimental values.

Steel corrosion is considered as the main factor for the insufficient durability of concrete structures, especially in the marine environment. In this paper, to further inhibit steel corrosion in a high chloride environment and take advantage of the dual-functional carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP), the impressed current cathodic protection (ICCP) technique was applied to the hybrid-reinforced concrete beam with internally embedded CFRP bars and steel fiber reinforced polymer composite bar (SFCB) as the anode material while the steel bar was compelled to the cathode. The effect of the new ICCP system on the flexural performance of the hybrid-reinforced concrete beam subjected to corrosion was verified experimentally. First, the electricity-accelerated precorrosion test was performed for the steel bar in the hybrid-reinforced beams with a target corrosion ratio of 5%. Then, the dry–wet cycles corrosion was conducted and the ICCP system was activated simultaneously for the hybrid-reinforced concrete beam for 180 days. Finally, the three-point bending experiment was carried out for the hybrid-reinforced concrete beams. The steel bars were taken out from the concrete to quantitatively measure the corrosion ratio after flexural tests. Results showed that the further corrosion of steel bars could be inhibited effectively by the ICCP treatment with the CFRP bar and the SFCB as the anode. Additionally, the ICCP system showed an obvious effect on the flexural behavior of the hybrid-reinforced concrete beams: The crack load and ultimate load, as well as the stiffness, were enhanced notably compared with the beam without ICCP treatment. Compared with the SFCB anode, the ICCP system with the CFRP bar as the anode material was more effective for the hybrid-reinforced concrete beam to prevent the steel corrosion.

To study the brittle/ductile behavior of concrete beams reinforced with low amounts of rebar and fibers, a new multi-scale model is presented. It is used to predict the flexural response of an ideal Hybrid Reinforced Concrete (HRC) beam in bending, and it is validated with the results of a specific experimental campaign, and some tests available in the technical literature. Both the numerical and the experimental measurements define a linear relationship between the amount of reinforcement and the Ductility Index (DI). The latter is a non-dimensional function depending on the difference between the ultimate load and the effective cracking load of a concrete beam. As a result, a new design-by-testing procedure can be established to determine the minimum reinforcement of HRC elements. It corresponds to DI = 0, and can be considered as a linear combination of the minimum area of rebar (of the same reinforced concrete beam) and the minimum fiber volume fraction (of the same fiber-reinforced concrete beam), respectively.

In order to research the influence of basalt fiber on the crack and deflection of the reinforced concrete beams, four basalt fiber reinforced concrete beams with the key parameters of length which were 12mm and 30mm and volume ratio which were 0.1% and 0.2% were designed and made. The test data was obtained through the bending experiment and the comparison with the common reinforced concrete beam. The result shows that it is obvious to control the crack and deflection of the test beams with the increasing of basalt fiber characteristic parameters. The calculation method of the maximum crack width of the basalt fiber reinforced concrete beams were presented based on the method of common concrete beam, which can provide the theoretical basis for the engineering practice.

The addition of fiber into concrete can not only suppress the interior shrinkage strain and decrease the thermal dilation coefficient (TDC) of concrete, but also it can lessen the width of shrinkage crack, especially reduce the appearance of interconnected pore, thus the reduction of the water content of capillary pore will make the TDC of paste matrix lessen. In this paper, an experiment was designed to study the TDC from the 5th day to the 29th day after the concrete was poured. The results show that the addition of fiber can effectively reduce the TDC of concrete. When the addition is the same, high-modulus carbon fiber reinforced concrete has a lower TDC than low-modulus polyester fiber concrete.

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.
