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.

Shear Stress And Strain

The near-surface mounted (NSM) technique with fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) reinforcement as strengthening system for concrete structures has been broadly studied during the last years. The efficiency of the NSM FRP-to-concrete joint highly depends on the bond between both materials, which is characterized by a local bond–slip law. This paper studies the effect of the shape of the local bond–slip law and its parameters on the global response of the NSM FRP joint in terms of load capacity, effective bond length, slip, shear stress, and strain distribution along the bonded length, which are essential parameters on the strengthening design. A numerical procedure based on the finite difference method to solve the governing equations of the FRP-to-concrete joint is developed. Pull-out single shear specimens are tested in order to experimentally validate the numerical results. Finally, a parametric study is performed. The effect of the bond–shear strength slip at the bond strength, maximum slip, and friction branch on the parameters previously described is presented and discussed.

This paper presents an experimental program conducted to investigate the flexural performance of RC beams with tension reinforcement lap splice strengthened using externally bonded FRP different techniques in splice region. The specimens were reinforced on the tension side with four deformed bars spliced at mid span. The tested beams are of 3200 mm total length and 250*120 mm cross section, tested in positive bending. The considered parameters were splice length, type of FRP (glass or carbon), strengthening techniques in splice region (externally confine strips around cross section, Near Surface Mounted technique "NSM" stirrups, externally bonded sheets or bars on the tension face, number of GFRP strips layers (one layer, two layers, and three layers), and shape of NSM stirrups (Box or U shape). No additional anchorage mechanism or bonding methodology was applied for the FRP strips on the concrete except the epoxy adhesive. The effect of these factors on the failure of modes, the ultimate load, the bond strength and that the ductility were investigated. The results indicated that all applied strengthening techniques were efficient in improving the bond strength of the lap splices, the ductility, and the load-deflection behavior of the tested beams, especially when strips were installed over the splice region. This study approved that NSM technique gave more prominent simplicity of employ.

Contrary to existing studies, this paper presents a prediction model of crack parameters in normal section of FRP strengthened RC elements neglecting crack spacing. A relation between normal crack width, depth and strains in the level of FRP reinforcement, established by Slaitas et al. (Slaitas, Daugevičius, Valivonis, & Grigorjeva, 2018a) and Jokūbaitis et al. (Jokūbaitis & Juknevičius, 2013; Jokūbaitis, Juknevičius, & Šalna, 2013), allowed authors to describe the full development of the crack up to the element failure. Numerical results are compared with experimental ones from the tests of 9 RC beams, strengthened with externally bonded and near surface mounted FRP reinforcements.
