In this paper, the steel plate-concrete composite (SPCC) beam is developed, in which traditional steel beam in the steel-concrete composite beam is replaced by a steel plate. The aim to develop this type of composite beam is to provide a theoretical basis for design of SPCC structures and SPCC-strengthened structures. In order to investigate the flexural behavior of SPCC beams, tests were conducted on five specimens with loading cases of four-point or three-point bending. All the beams were identical in geometry, longitudinal reinforcement, stirrup, and concrete strength but various in steel plate thickness, shear connection degree, shear span length and cut-off position of steel plate. The structural behavior of the tested SPCC beams, including strain, deflection, crack width, load carrying capacity and deformability, etc., were measured and analyzed. Based on test results, it can be concluded that by means of appropriate shear connection degree and anchorage length, steel plate and concrete can work together very well and the SPCC beams have a very good ductility. The ultimate strength of the SPCC beams can be calculated by means of the same plastic method as reinforced concrete beams.

Static And Dynamic Loads

The design codes and calculation methods related to the corrugated steel plate (CSP) bridges and culverts say only on the minimum soil height. This value is connected with the bridge span and shell height. In the case of static and dynamic loads (like passing the vehicles), such approach seems to be reasonable. However, it is important to know how the CSP bridges with high the soil covers behave under the seismic loads. This paper is presented the result of numerical study of CSP bridge with different high cover under seismic excitation. The analysed CSP railway bridge in the cross section has two closed pipe-arches. The span of shells is 4.40 m and the height of shells is 2.80 m. The load-carrying structure was constructed as two shells assembled from CSP sheets, designed with a depth of 0.05 m, pitch of 0.15 m, and plate thickness of 0.003 m. The real soil cover depth over the CSP structure (including ballast, blanket and backfill) equals 2.40 m. In this study two heights of soil cover were analysed (2.40 m and 5.00 m). Numerical analysis was conducted using the DIANA program based on finite element method (FEM). A linear model with El Centro records and Time History was used to analyse the problem.

The elasto-plastic characteristics of plain concrete are inevitably affected by the loading rate. This paper presents an experimental investigation on the effect of loading rate on flexural behavior of concrete and reinforced concrete (RC) beams, which was carried out with Walter+bai electro-hydraulic servo system. Three-point bending tests on 100 × 100 × 400 mm prismatic concrete samples and 80 × 120 × 1100 mm RC beams with different displacement controlled loading rates of 0.01 mm/min, 0.1 mm/min, and 3 mm/min were imposed. Based on the test results, the effects of loading rates on the load-displacement curve, cracking, and ultimate load-carrying capacities of RC beams were evaluated.

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the flexural behavior of over-reinforced concrete beam enhancement by bolted-compression steel plate (BCSP) with normal reinforced concrete beams under laboratory experimental condition. Three beams developed with steel plates were tested until they failed in compression compared with one beam without a steel plate. The thicknesses of the steel plates used were 6 mm, 10 mm, and 15 mm. The beams were simply supported and loaded monotonically with two-point loads. Load-deflection behaviors of the beams were observed, analyzed, and evaluated in terms of spall-off concrete loading, peak loading, displacement at mid-span, flexural stiffness (service and post-peak), and energy dissipation. The outcome of the experiment shows that the use of a steel plate can improve the failure modes of the beams and also increases the peak load and flexural stiffness. The steel development beams dissipated much higher energies with an increase in plate thicknesses than the conventional beam.

The effect of corrosion on the structural behaviour of reinforced concrete (RC) beams without stirrups was experimentally investigated. A total of seven medium-scale RC beams without stirrups were constructed. The beams measured 150 mm wide, 250 mm deep and 1700 mm long. The test variables included: three different longitudinal reinforcement ratios (0.91%, 1.21%, and 1.82%) and two different corrosion levels (3% and 10%). Four beams were subjected to artificial corrosion whereas three beams acted as control un-corroded. Following the corrosion phase, all beams were tested to failure in three point bending. Corrosion crack widths and cracking patterns were recorded at different stages of corrosion. The effect of different longitudinal reinforcement ratios on the rate of corrosion was observed. Test results revealed that the beams with higher reinforcement ratios experienced slower corrosion rate compared to beams with lower reinforcement ratios. All control beams failed in shear whereas corroded beams failed in bond. There was a significant reduction in the load carrying capacity of the corroded beams without stirrups compared to the control beams.

The flexural behavior of FRP (Fiber Reinforced Polymer) reinforced concrete beam has been the topic of intensive previous research, because of the spread of use of modern FRP composite materials in the building industry as concrete reinforcement. The behavior of FRP reinforced member is different from the one reinforced with regular steel reinforcement, mainly because of vast difference between moduli of elasticity of FRP composite reinforcement bars and steel. This difference results in the fact that conventional design methods used for years in the field of reinforced concrete structures using steel reinforcement give poor results if attempted use with FRP reinforced structural members. Results of conventional methods are so poor that use of such methods would be dangerous they tend to overestimate load carrying capacity and underestimate deformations both resulting in unsafe predictions. This paper points to formulating easy to use and comprehensible method of predicting moment capacity of FRP reinforced concrete beams subjected to bending loading and validation of the proposed method via set of experiments.

Certain wood has a tensile strength that almost equal with steel rebar in reinforced concrete beams. This research aims to understand the capacity and flexural behavior of concrete beams reinforced by wood (wood-concrete composite beam). Two different types of beams based on placement positions of wood layers are proposed in this study. Two kinds of wood used are consisted of Bangkirai (Shorea laevifolia) and Kamper (Cinnamomum camphora), meanwhile the concrete mix ratio for all beams is 1 cement : 2 fine aggregates : 3 coarse aggregates. Bending test is conducted by using one-point loading method. The results show that composite beam using Bangkirai wood is stronger than beams using Kamper wood. More thicker wood layer in tensile area will increase the flexural strength of beams. Crack patterns identified could be classified into flexural cracks, shear cracks, and split on wood layer Beberapa jenis kayu tertentu memiliki kekuatan tarik yang hampir sama dengan tulangan baja pada balok beton bertulang. Penelitian ini bertujuan memahami kapasitas dan perilaku lentur balok beton bertulang yang diperkuat menggunakan kayu (balok komposit beton-kayu). Dua tipe balok yang berbeda berdasarkan posisi penempatan kayu digunakan dalam penelitian ini. Dua jenis kayu yang digunakan adalah kayu Bangkirai (Shorea laevifolia) and Kamper (Cinnamomum camphora), sementara itu rasio campuran beton untuk semua balok menggunakan perbandingan 1 semen : 2 agregat halus : 3 agregat kasar. Pengujian lentur dilakukan menggunakan metode one-point loading. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa balok komposit dengan kayu Bangkirai lebih kuat dibandingkan balok dengan kayu Kamper. Semakin tebal lapisan kayu yang berada di daerah tarik akan meningkatkan kekuatan lentur balok. Pola kerusakan yang teridentifikasi dapat diklasifikasikan menjadi retak lentur, retak geser, dan pecah pada kayu

Cross Sectional

In the past few years, new techniques have emerged using steel plates instead of traditional reinforcement in the reinforced concrete beams. This study deals with using a new method for reinforced concrete beams using steel plates instead of traditional steel bars with different thicknesses of (4, 5, and 6 mm) placed vertically inside the lower part of the beam. Four reinforced concrete beams were cast and tested under a two-point load. All beams had the same cross-sectional area of reinforcement and dimensions of 2100 mm in length, 350 mm in height, and 250 in width. The results showed that as the thickness of the steel plate increases, the samples would have greater resistance until more deflection is produced. In addition, there is a reduction in the crack load, ultimate load, and yield load when replacing reinforcing bars with steel plates. In which, a reduction in crack load by about 11.1, 15.5, and 22.2% plate thicknesses of 4,5,6 mm respectively, compared to reference beam that had a deformed steel bar (Dia. 16 mm). In addition, a reduction in yielding load was observed about 42, 53, and 60% for steel plate thickness of 4, 5, and 6 mm respectively, compared to the reference model. Finally, the cracks for all the steel plate specimens compared to reference specimens were wider and smaller.

Effect Of Copper

The objective of this study is to investigate the flexural behavior of M30 grade PSCC, GFRSCC, SFRSCC and HFRSCC beams made with PF=1.12 and s/a=0.53 and PF=1.14 and s/a=0.57 to understand the effect of copper slag as partial replacement of fine aggregate on its deflection characteristics and cracking behaviour. The yield and ultimate load taken by HFRSCC beams made with optimum PF and s/a ratios are higher than the conventional RCC beam elements. The deflections at centre at failure in HFRSCC beams made with optimum PF and s/a ratios were more than that of conventional beams. This shows improvement in ductility of HFRSCC beams. First crack formation was delayed in M30 grade HFRSCC beams due to dense micro structure with low pore fraction and reduced pore size due to which fatigue strength is increased which in turn increases the time taken for first crack occurrence and thereby increasing the load carrying capacity. The deflection at the mid span decreased in HFRSCC beams which shows that the flexural stiffness of the elements increases thereby reducing the structural member’s deformability, increasing strength and hence controlling deflection.

Type C

This paper examines both flexural and shear behaviour of eight full-scale (2700×160×100-mm) reinforced concrete rectangular beams subjected to one-third point load. Two types of beams were investigated; Type-E and Type-C. Type-E are reinforced concrete rectangular beams strengthened externally by 1.5mm thick structural steel plate glued to the tensile face with epoxy as adhesive while type-C are reinforced concrete rectangular beams without structural steel plate glued to the tensile face. An average concrete strength of 30N/mm2 at 28 days was used. Required internal reinforcement according to BS 8110-1:1997 was provided for the concrete rectangular beams. Before the beams were externally strengthened, the beam surface to be plated was gritted to take off the cement membrane and to open up the aggregates. Epoxy adhesive was applied as a paste to both the plate and concrete surfaces: the two surfaces were then put together and held in place under pressure of 3.84kN/m2 until the glue was cured.  The beams were subjected to flexural testing after 28 days, using loading frame. Each of the rectangular beams support at both ends were subjected to one-third point load, deflection readings were recorded using a dial gauge at every 1.82kN increment. At ultimate load, the beams failed by a crack initiated at the bottom fiber of the beams. From the test results, an average flexural and shear strengths of Type-C beams are; 21.91N/mm2 and 1.05N/mm2 respectively, while type-E beams are; 28.91N/mm2 and 1.39N/mm2 respectively. The results of the investigation showed that flexural and shear strengths of reinforced concrete rectangular beam increased when strengthened externally by bonded steel plate. A straightforward analytical procedure was developed to validate the experiment results of type-E and type-C beams, using rectangular stress block for concrete. Experimental average failure load for beams Type-C and Type-E are 22.44kN and 29.60kN respectively while theoretical failure load for Type-C and Type-E beams are 20.86kNand 31.2kN respectively. Generally, there were acceptably fair correlations between analytical and experimental failure loads of Type-C and Type-E beams.

Based on twelve push-out specimens with different holes filling different materials,the paper compared and analyzed the capacity and the corresponding slip value of the stud shear connector.Meanwhile, tests were also conducted on three composite steel-FDPCP(Full-Depth Precast Concrete Panel) beams with different holes shape and degree of shear connection to investigate the characteistics of load-displacement,load-deflection,load-strain of the total cross section and monolithic action of the entire cross section in the paper. The results show that, as to the two different kinds of holes shape ,the strength of the stud shear connectors of square push-out specimens was huger than that of circular specimens with the same condition; the strength of stud shear connectors in steel-concrete composite structure was decided by the strength of concrete surrounding the shear in the holes, with increasing concrete strength, the strength of stud shear connectors improved greatly; the composite steel-FDPCP beams failed in bending,plane section was maintained in composite beams throughout the testing process.the composite steel-FDPCP beams have some merits :good bearing capacity, good anti-bend capability, fast pile-driving pace and perfect work behaviors as a whole;the ultimate flexural capacity of the composite steel-FDPCP beams with a full shear connection is close to that of a partial shear connection. The outputs of this study are very useful for further understanding of the characteristics of the composite steel-FDPCP beams,it is also expected that the results presented in this paper should be valuable for the design of the composite steel-FDPCP beams.
