Plate Area

For reinforced concrete beams strengthened with prestressed carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) plates, design methods are derived for determining the allowable plate area or initial tension control stress of CFRP plate to achieve a targeted value of ductility. The derivation of equilibrium and compatibility equations for a rectangular cross section is presented. Base on the test of 2 reinforced concrete beams strengthened with prestressed CFRP plates, analytical results are compared with experimental results. Comparisons show that the design methods have good applicability. It can provide a reference for engineering application of strengthening design.

Arch Action

This paper describes a design method for structures consisting of a vertically loaded masonry wall supported by a reinforced concrete beam, taking account of the composite tied-arch action of the wall and beam. Experimental results have shown that the behaviour of walls on reinforced concrete beams is similar enough to that of walls on steel beams to allow the development of a design procedure for the former using similar principles to that for walls on steel beams. Therefore, the design approach is based on the assumption of triangular distributions of vertical stress at the wall–beam interface, where the length of the distributions are a function of the beam-to-wall relative stiffness. In the design method the beam flexural stiffness is designed to give an adequate distribution of the interface stress so that the maximum stress in the wall does not exceed allowable limits. The beam is also designed with flexural and shear reinforcement sufficient to resist the bending moment, tie force, and shear forces applied by the normal and shear interface loading. Experimental evidence as well as analytical results are cited to support the assumptions and the resulting design method.

Abstract In this article, results of experimental testing of reinforced concrete beams without transverse shear reinforcement are given. Three prototypes for improved testing methods were tested. The testing variable parameter was the shear span to the effective depth ratio. In the result of the tests we noticed that bearing capacity of RC beams is increased with the decreasing shear span to the effective depth ratio. The design method according to current codes was applied to test samples and it showed a significant discrepancy results. Than we proposed the improved design method using the adjusted value of shear strength of concrete CRd,c. The results obtained by the improved design method showed satisfactory reproducibility.

First Case

Based on earlier theoretical works on RC beams ,the mechanical properties of steel reinforced concrete beams strengthened with FRP(fiber reinforce polymer) are further investigated theoretically including theirs failure mechanism and loadability. According to the design method of reinforced concrete beam strengthened with FRP, steel reinforced concrete beam strengthened with FRP mainly can have three kinds of destruction patterns: the first case is the tensile steel yield, the tensile shaped steel yield, the FRP are put off, the compressive zone’s concrete has not crushed; the second case is the tensile steel yield, the tensile shaped steel yield, the FRP are put off; the compressive zone’s concrete has crushed; the last case is the tensile steel yield, the tensile shaped steel yield, the FRP are not put off, the compressive zone’s concrete has crushed. The second case is discussed in this paper.Based on the different position of middle axle and steel, steel concrete beams strengthened with FRP include: middle axle through the steel web, and not through the steel and just in steel compression flange . Aim at these three kind of situations, the stress are analysed. According to the stress patterns of steel reinforced concrete beams strengthened with FRP and different position between neutral axis and steel, the discriminant formula of the boundary destroys and the formula of cross-section flexural capacity calculation are put forward by using limit equilibrium theory.The formula is expressed clearly, simple and easy to use.The depth of compressive region is given in view of different failure types.
