Fibre Reinforced Polymer

Flexural behaviour of reinforced-concrete slabs has been widely investigated to characterize properties and behaviour of fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) materials as reinforcement for concrete structures. However, the short- and long-term thermal effects on FRP bars owing to the significant difference between the bars’ coefficients of thermal expansion in the transverse and longitudinal directions are still to be evaluated and may affect the bond properties and the concrete cover thickness after multiple exposures to freeze–thaw cycles. This paper presents the thermostructural behaviour of one-way concrete slabs reinforced with glass FRP (GFRP) that have previously been subjected to mechanical loads of 20% and 30% of the ultimate flexural capacity of reinforced-concrete slabs, simultaneously with short freeze–thaw cycles. Series tests were conducted on FRP-reinforced concrete slabs 500 mm wide, 195–215 mm thick, and 2500 mm long. The thermal cycles were varied from −30 to 60 °C. Four-point bending tests were conducted up to failure of the slabs. The results show that the thermomechanical load applied before bending tests increases the performance of reinforced-concrete slabs, particularly the concrete shear capacity. The deflection predicted from CSA code and ACI guidelines are very close to those obtained from experimental tests; however, the CSA code overestimates the deflection at the service load. The applied thermal cycles have no big influence on the behaviour before shear failure of concrete slabs reinforced with GFRP bars.

Frp Reinforcement

An innovative solution to the corrosion problem is the use of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) as an alternative reinforcing material in concrete structures. In addition to the non corrodible nature of FRP materials, they also have a high strength-to-weight ratio that makes them attractive as reinforcement for concrete structures. Extensive research programs have been carried out to investigate the flexural behavior of concrete members reinforced with FRP reinforcement. On the other hand, the shear behavior of concrete members, especially punching shear of two-way slabs, reinforced with FRP bars has not yet been fully explored. The existing provisions for punching of slabs in most international design standards for reinforced concrete are based on tests of steel reinforced slabs. The elastic stiffness and bonding characteristics of FRP reinforcement are sufficiently different from those of steel to affect punching strength. In the present study, the equations of existing design standards for shear capacity of FRP reinforced concrete beams have been evaluated using the large database collected. The experimental punching shear strengths were compared with the available theoretical predictions, including the CSA S806 (CSA 2012), ACI-440.1R-15 (ACI 2015), BS 8110 (BSI 1997), JSCE (1997) a number of models proposed by some researchers in the literature. The existing design methods for FRP reinforced concrete slabs give conservative predictions for the specimens in the database. This paper also presents a simple yet improved model to calculate the punching shear capacity of FRPreinforced concrete slabs. The proposed model provides the accurate results in calculating the punching shear strengths of FRP-reinforced concrete slender slabs.
