AbstractBeam–column joints play an important role in providing lateral stiffness and integrity of frames during dynamic loading such as earthquake. In the high humidity areas, during functioning of the building cracks occur, which leads to the corrosion of the reinforcement due to the environmental exposures. Therefore, one of the main failures mechanism of building during an earthquake is caused by easily yielding of corroded steel reinforcement, which leads to reduce functionality of the frame joints in transferring the loads. This study proposed a new design to reinforce the beam-column joints with embedded carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) rods, due to their extremely high strength and stiffness, along with the fact that they will not rust or corrode and very light weight. CFRP rods are used in reinforced concrete (RC) frame and ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) frame subjected to dynamic load. The prototype of the proposed design is constructed as frame with conventional concrete and frame with UHPC material to conduct experiments Test as well as numerical analysis to evaluate the performance of the proposed joints under dynamic loads. The results showed improvement in the performance of the frames reinforced with embedded CFRP in joints in terms of lateral load resistance capacity, ductility behaviour, overall stiffness, and failure mechanism.

Cracking Behavior

Reinforced concrete elements frequently suffer small cracks that are not relevant from the mechanical point of view, but they can be an entrance point for aggressive agents, such as oxygen, which could initiate the degradation processes. Fiber-Reinforced Concrete and especially Ultra High Performance Concrete increase the multi-cracking behavior, reducing the crack width and spacing. In this work, the oxygen availability of three types of concrete was compared at similar strain levels to evaluate the benefit of multi-cracking in the transport of oxygen. The types of concrete studied include traditional, High-Performance, and Ultra-High-Performance Fiber-Reinforced Concrete with and without nanofibers. To this purpose, reinforced concrete beams sized 150 × 100 × 750 mm3 were prepared with embedded stainless steel sensors that were located at three heights, which have also been validated through this work. These beams were pre-cracked in bending up to fixed strain levels. The results indicate that the sensors used were able to detect oxygen availability due to the presence of cracks and the detected differences between the studied concretes. Ultra High Performance Concrete in the cracked state displayed lower oxygen availability than the uncracked High Performance Concrete, demonstrating its potential higher durability, even when working in cracked state, thanks to the increased multi-cracking response.

This paper describes the influence of the temperature and the fibre reinforcement on the flexural fatigue behaviour of an ultra-high-performance fibre-reinforced concrete. Three-point bending fatigue tests were carried out for an ultra-high-performance concrete subjected to different temperatures ranging from room temperature up to 300 ºC and considering three different types of reinforcement: a) steel fibres, b) hybrid steel and polypropylene fibres and c) non-reinforced (reference matrix). The fatigue behaviour was assessed from the S-N fields obtained through a probabilistic fatigue model developed by Castillo and Fernández-Canteli. The influence of the type of reinforcement on the fatigue behaviour was analysed by SN curves. An analysis of the thermal effects in the fatigue life of the ultra-high-performance concrete has also been carried out. The results showed the most suitable fibre reinforcement among the analysed options to get the best fatigue behaviour in accordance to the exposure temperature.

The tensile strength and ductility of normal concrete are dissatisfactory and these lead to some durability problems for reinforced concrete structure. On the other hand, China’s production and consumption of concrete is the largest in the world, and with the rapid economic development the number also continue to increase. A new class of more sustainable cement-based materials is urgently needed in China. This paper reports on the development of engineering cementitious composites (ECC), and a unique green high-performance fiber-reinforced cementitious composite (GHPFRCC) with high volumes of fly ash and PVA fiber is proposed. The detailed procedure of GHPFRCC is presented. The calculated equations of the load-bearing capacity of the reinforced concrete column retrofitted by GHPFRCC are proposed.
