With the development of modern constructional technique, more attention on the size effect is paid by academics and engineers. The normal section bearing capacity of Reinforced Concrete Column is analyzed by eccentrically compressed theory firstly. The size effect on normal section bearing capacity of reinforced concrete column is obtained by theoretical analysis and experimental summary. The size effect formula of concrete compressive strength is proposed. Finally, a research thinking of size effect on bearing capacity is suggested.

This paper investigates the effects of different parameters on the live load carrying capacity of concrete beams reinforced with FRP bars. The author performed a parametric study utilizing an innovative numerical approach to inspect the effects of multiple variables such as reinforcement ratio, concrete compressive strength, span to depth ratio, FRP type, and bar diameter on load carrying capacity of FRP reinforced concrete beams. This study concluded that unless the span to height ratio is smaller than 8, tension-controlled sections are impractical as they do not meet code requirements for serviceability. In addition, it is recommended to use higher reinforcement ratios when using larger span to depth ratios and/or when using CFRP reinforcing bars. Moreover, larger number of bars with small diameter is more practical than fewer large diameter bars. Furthermore, this research suggests that increasing the concrete compressive strength is associated with a significant increase in the ultimate flexural capacity of FRP reinforced beams.

The concrete-filed square steel tube with inner I-shaped CFRP profiles short columns under bi-axial eccentric load were investigated by the finite element analysis software ABAQUS. The working mechanism of the composite columns which is under bi-axial eccentric load are investigated by using the stress distribution diagram of steel tube concrete and the I-shaped CFRP profiles. In this paper, the main parameters; eccentric ratio, steel ratio, steel yield strength, concrete compressive strength and CFRP distribution rate of the specimens were investigated to know the mechanical behavior of them. The interaction between the steel tube and the concrete interface at different characteristic points of the composite columns were analyzed. The results showed that the ultimate bearing capacity of the concrete-filed square steel tube with inner I-shaped CFRP profiles short columns under bi-axial eccentric load decrease with the increase of eccentric ratio, the ultimate bearing capacity of the composite columns increase with the increase of steel ratio, steel yield strength, concrete compressive strength and CFRP distribution rate. The contact pressure between the steel tube and the concrete decreased from the corner zone to the flat zone, and the contact pressure decreased from the mid-height cross section to other sections.

No attempts have been made in developing the N-M interaction diagram for reinforced concrete columns strengthened with steel jackets using the plastic stress distribution method. Therefore, this paper presents an analytical model to construct the N-M interaction diagram for reinforced concrete columns strengthened with steel jackets using the plastic stress distribution method after assuming the behavior of strengthened column to be like composite column and including the effects of confinement on concrete compressive strength. The proposed model was compared with experimental results. The comparisons showed that the model is conservative and it reveals the ultimate strength of the strengthened column. A parametric study has been also carried out to investigate the influence of various parameters on the N-M interaction diagram of the strengthened column. These parameters were: dimensions of steel angle, yield stress of the steel angles, concrete compressive strength and the size of the reinforcement bars used in RC columns. The results made clear the effects of these parameters on the N-M interaction diagram, and encouraged the use of the model in preliminary strengthening studies.

Abstract The recent ground motion results indicated that the RC buildings are required to be retrofitted by different strengthening techniques. Nowadays, the external strengthening gain interest since its easy, cost effective and not required redesign of buildings. The CFRP sheets are suitable solution and utilized by a number of researchers. However, the numerical cyclic performance of connection strengthened with different thicknesses of CFRP need to be well investigated. This study assessed the performance of RC exterior beam column connection strengthened with CFRP sheets First, two grades of concrete are utilized to be control specimens, normal concrete compressive strength (C20) and high concrete compressive strength (C50) then, the specimens are retrofitted with different thicknesses (1.2, 2.4, 3.6mm) of CFRP sheets. The stresses and damage states showed the importance of connection retrofitting. The CFRP shift the plastic hinge zone away from the panel zone. Furthermore, the results demonstrated that by increase of CFRP thickness the connection resistance will be improved. The comparison between the hysteresis curves demonstrated that the yield and ultimate loading were enhanced for strengthened connection for both concrete grades and the incremental in thicknesses also increase them. The outputs also exhibited that the stiffness and ductility has increased for retrofitted specimens indicating that the CFRP comprehensively overcome the applied cyclic loading and the beam column connection is able to resist such type of loading.

The influence of steel fiber and polypropylene fiber mixed on compressive strength of high performance concrete (HPC) was studied. The steel fiber content (0.5%, 1.0%, 1.5%, 2.0%) (volume fraction, the same below), polypropylene fiber content (0.05%, 0.1%, 0.15%, 0.2%) and length (5mm, 6.5mm, 12mm, 18mm) were studied by L16 (45) orthogonal test for 28d ages, the range analysis and variance analysis of the test results are carried out, and the prediction model of compressive strength of hybrid fiber reinforced concrete was established. The results show that: The significant influence factor of concrete compressive strength is the volume fraction of polypropylene fiber, while the length of polypropylene fiber and the volume fraction of steel fiber are not significant; the concrete compressive strength with polypropylene fiber shows negative hybrid effect; The prediction model of compressive strength of hybrid fiber reinforced concrete has high accuracy, and the average relative errors is 2.96%.
