The flexural behavior of concrete beams strengthened with near surface mounted (NSM) CFRP-PCPs composite rebars was studied. Experimental results showed that embedded CFRP-PCPs reinforcement method can effectively improve strength, stiffness and cracks of the reinforced concrete member, and PCPs increased with concrete bonding area, thus avoiding the strip damage of the traditional embedded reinforcement.

In recent decades, use of fibre reinforced polymers (FRP) materials has become very popular for strengthening / re-strengthening of reinforced concrete (RC) structures. This includes flexural and shear strengthening of RC structural members such as slabs, beams and columns.In this study, a computerized analytical model is presented to predict the load-deflection response of flexure critical RC beams externally strengthened with near surface mounted (NSM) CFRP laminates. The analyical model utilizes constitutive material properties of concrete, reinforcing steel, CFRP laminate materials, strain compatibility, sectional analysis to develop moment-curvature relationships, which then are used to generate the load-rotations and load-deflection of the flexure critical RC Beams strengthend with NSM CFRP laminates. For validation of the analytical model, the predictions of the analytical model are compared with the experimental results of flexure critical RC beams strengthened with NSM CFRP laminates and the comparisons are judged to be good.As a part of the experimental investigation of this study, a series of 18 full scale beams Reinforced Concrete Beams strengthened with carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) laminates will be tested in flexure and shear. The results of flexural tests will be analyzed and compared with the predictions of the analytical model.

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.

FRP rods as lightweight materials with extraordinary properties of high strength to weight ratio, corrosion resistance, potentially high overall durability, tailor ability and high specific attributes are one of the most favorable materials to strengthen existing reinforced structures. The present study aimed to identify the behavior of reinforced concrete flexural beams strengthened with fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) rods through near surface mounted method (NSM). The results of the current study were based on nonlinear finite element software ABAQUS which can accurately simulate the experimental investigations on flexural behavior of reinforced concrete beams strengthened with NSM FRP rods. Validation of the proposed model was confirmed first by making a comparison with the experimental study presented in the literature. A parametric analysis was conducted on validated specimens to investigate the effect of FRP rod diameters, rod arrangements, FRP materials, as well as rods groove intervals on flexural behavior of strengthened reinforced beams. The numerical results of mid-span bending moment deflection, ultimate bending moment, failure deflection and ductility index were reported. For the sake of simplicity to be used by engineers, the results of the current study were drawn in the form of design charts and tables.

Different Levels

In order to improve flexural behavior of concrete beams, the 7mm-diameter carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) tendons applied different levels of prestress were put in to 20×20mm grooves opened in the concrete surface of the tensile region in the concrete beams.Grooves were filled with building structural adhesive, when it solidified bending test of strengthened beams would carry out. Flexural behavior of nine RC beams strengthened with prestressed near surface mounted CFRP tendons applied different levels of prestress and one unstrengthened RC beam were studied. In these tests, bending stiffness and load-bearing characteristics of test specimens were studied. Experimental results show that the high-strength performance of CFRP have been made full use; the stiffness of strengthened beams risen notably, the maximal crack load increased by 303.17%, the maximal ultimate load increased by 237.92%.
