以钢筋混凝土梁为研究对象,考虑钢筋非均匀锈蚀膨胀效应,建立三维钢筋混凝土梁剪切破坏分析的数值分析模型。通过多阶段分析方法(钢筋锈蚀阶段,构件性能退化阶段)探索锈蚀对结构力学行为的影响。钢筋的非均匀锈蚀膨胀以施加非均匀径向位移的方式模拟,获得保护层的破坏状态,并以此“最终状态”作为之后混凝土梁静载试验的“初始条件”输入,进而模拟构件的力学行为。在验证了多阶段数值模型合理性的基础上,分析了纵筋锈蚀、剪跨比对无腹筋混凝土梁抗剪性能的影响规律。结果表明,纵筋锈蚀使混凝土梁产生明显的纵向裂缝。纵筋锈蚀率增大,保护层开裂区域增加,梁的抗剪承载力下降严重。另外,剪跨比对梁的抗剪承载力产生影响,剪跨比对未锈蚀梁的影响明显大于对锈蚀梁的影响程度。最后,基于模拟结果对相关设计规范中的抗剪承载力计算公式进行了讨论,发展建立了考虑锈蚀影响的无腹筋混凝土梁抗剪承载力计算方法。

Behavior of Beams Strengthened with Novel Self-Anchored Near-Surface-Mounted CFRP Bars

A commonly observed failure mode in laboratory tests involving surface bonded fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) laminates or near-surface-mounted (NSM) bars is premature delamination, that is, the separation of the FRP from the substrate well before the FRP reaches its ultimate strain capacity. To delay the onset of delamination and to ensure that the NSM FRP reinforcement continues to contribute to member strength after partial delamination, a new self-anchored carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) bar was developed and tested for this investigation. This bar is made with a series of monolithic spikes that can be anchored deep inside the concrete. In addition to cutting grooves into the concrete cover for the placement of the primary reinforcing bar, holes are drilled deep into the concrete to insert the spikes. To test the performance of this bar, six large, simply supported, reinforced, concrete beams were retrofitted with NSM bars and tested in four-point bending. Two beams were strengthened with NSM bars without anchors or spikes but were otherwise similar to the self-anchored bar and served as control specimens (Series?B1). Two beams were strengthened in flexure with the new self-anchored NSM bars (Series?B2), and the remaining two beams (Series?B3) were strengthened in flexure and shear by using the self-anchored NSM bars as partial shear reinforcement. The effect of the proposed strengthening system on the beams’ strength, failure mode, deformability, and ductility are discussed on the basis of the experimental results. The anchors delayed delamination and enabled the NSM bar to experience at least a 77% higher strain at failure than the companion bar without anchors. The anchors also increased beam displacement ductility and energy ductility at a 20% strength degradation by at least 34% and 42%, respectively.     

Durability of GFRP Bars’ Bond to Concrete under Different Loading and Environmental Conditions

In the last decade, noncorrodible fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) reinforcing bars have been increasingly used as the main reinforcement for concrete structures in harsh environments. Also, owing to their lower cost compared with other types of FRP bars, glass-FRP (GFRP) bars are more attractive to the construction industry, especially for implementation in bridge deck slabs. In North America, bridge deck slabs are exposed to severe environmental conditions, such as freeze-thaw action, in addition to traffic fatigue loads. Although the bond strength of GFRP bars has been proved to be satisfactory, their durability performance under the dual effects of fatigue-type loading and freeze-thaw action is still not well understood. Few experimental test data are available on the bond characteristics of FRP bars in concrete elements under different loading and environmental conditions. This research investigates the individual and combined effects of freeze-thaw cycles along with sustained axial load and fatigue loading on the bond characteristics of GFRP bars embedded in concrete. An FRP-reinforced concrete specimen was developed to apply axial-tension fatigue or sustained loads to GFRP bars within a concrete environment. A total of thirty-six test specimens was constructed and tested. The test parameters included bar diameter, concrete cover thickness, loading scheme, and environmental conditioning. After conditioning, each specimen was sectioned into two halves for pullout testing. Test results showed that fatigue load cycles resulted in approximately 50% loss in the bond strength of sand-coated GFRP bars to concrete, while freeze-thaw cycles enhanced their bond to concrete by approximately 40%. Larger concrete covers were found more important in cases of larger bar sizes simultaneously subjected to fatigue load and freeze-thaw cycles.     

Bond Efficiency of EBR and NSM FRP Systems for Strengthening Concrete Members

This paper reports the results of an experimental program to investigate the bonding behavior of two different types of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) systems for strengthening RC members: externally bonded carbon (EBR) plates and bars or strips externally applied with the near-surface-mounted (NSM) technique. The overall experimental program consisted of 18 bond tests on concrete specimens strengthened with EBR carbon plates and 24 bond tests on concrete specimens strengthened with NSM systems (carbon, basalt, and glass bars, and carbon strips). Single shear tests (SST) were carried out on concrete prisms with low compressive strengths to investigate the bonding behavior of existing RC structures strengthened with different types of FRP systems. The performance of each reinforcement system is presented, discussed, and compared in terms of failure mode, debonding load, load-slip relationship, and strain distribution. The findings indicate that the NSM technique could represent a sound alternative to EBR systems because it allows debonding to be delayed, and hence FRP tensile strength to be better exploited.     

Environmental Reduction Factors for GFRP Bars Used as Concrete Reinforcement: New Scientific Approach

This paper presents a new approach that incorporates the effects of temperature, design life, and relative humidity (RH) of exposure into the environmental reduction factor (RF) for glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars used as concrete reinforcement. The environmental RFs for GFRP bars that are adopted in various guidelines are presented and discussed. By using time extrapolation and time-temperature shift approaches, a new equation for design strength of GFRP bar under various exposure time and temperature was proposed. The effect of moisture, in the form of RH, was incorporated into the new equation by investigating the degradation mechanism of GFRP bar owing to alkali attack and the relationship between the RH and concrete pore water. Design examples for strength RFs linked to service life, temperature, and RH were presented on the basis of reported durability data for E-glass/vinyl ester (VE) GFRP bars embedded in concrete.     

Shear Strengthening of Concrete Structures with the Use of Mineral-Based Composites

Rehabilitation and strengthening of concrete structures have become more common during the last 10–15?years, partly due to a large stock of old structures and partly due to concrete deterioration. Also factors such as lack of understanding and the consequences of chloride attack affect the need for rehabilitation. In addition, more traffic and heavier loads lead to the need for upgrading. Existing externally bonded strengthening systems using fiber-reinforced polymers (FRP) and epoxy as bonding agents have been proven to be a good approach to repair and strengthen concrete structures. However, the use of epoxy bonding agents has some disadvantages in the form of incompatibilities with the base concrete. It is, therefore, of interest to substitute epoxy with systems that have better compatibility properties with the base concrete, for example, cementitious bonding agents. This paper presents a study on reinforced concrete beams strengthened in shear with the use of cementitious bonding agents and carbon fiber grids, denoted as mineral-based composites (MBC). In this study it is shown that the MBC system has a strengthening effect corresponding to that of strengthening systems using epoxy bonding agents and carbon fiber sheets. Different designs and material properties of the MBC system have been tested. An extensive monitoring setup has been carried out using traditional strain gauges and photometric strain measurements to obtain strains in steel reinforcement, in FRP, and strain fields on the strengthened surface. It has been shown that the use of MBC reduces strains in the steel stirrups and surface cracks even for low load steps as compared to a nonstrengthened concrete beam.     

Hybrid Bonding of FRP to Reinforced Concrete Structures

The adhesive attachment of fiber-reinforced polymers (FRP) laminate to the external face of reinforced concrete structures is currently one of the most popular and effective methods for retrofitting and strengthening concrete structures. With this method, the additional strength of the attached reinforcement is transmitted into the concrete members through adhesion. However, the relatively weak adhesive interface fundamentally limits the efficacy of the method. Much effort has been made in the research community to improve the bond strength and develop bond models, but a satisfactory solution has yet to be found. Mechanical fastening is another more traditional technology that is used to bond one material to another. This paper introduces a new hybrid bonding technique that combines adhesive bonding and a new type of mechanical fastening. The new mechanical fastening technique does not rely on bearing to transmit the interfacial shear, but instead increases the interfacial bond by resisting the separation of the FRP laminate from the concrete substrate. Experimental tests demonstrated that the bond strength with this new hybrid bonding technology was 7.5 times that of conventional adhesive bonding. Furthermore, the new bonding technique is applicable to all types of commercially available FRP laminate (fabric, sheet, plate, and strip), and in principle is also applicable to materials other than FRP.     

Scale Transition in Steel-Concrete Interaction. I: Model

This paper deals with the analysis of reinforced concrete (RC) structures with special emphasis on modeling of the interaction between concrete and reinforcement. A new mode for consideration of the response of the composite material at the member (structural) scale is proposed. It is obtained from extension of the fracture energy concept, originally developed for the simulation of cracking of plain concrete, to reinforced concrete. Hereby, the fracture energy related to the opening of primary cracks is increased in order to account for bond slip between steel and concrete. This increase is determined from the distribution of bond slip by means of a one-dimensional composite model introduced at the bar scale. The model consists of steel bars and the surrounding concrete. Between these two components, a nonlinear bond stress–bond slip relation is considered. The obtained results at the bar scale, such as the average crack spacing between adjacent cracks and the load-displacement response of the composite material, form the basis for determination of the increase of the fracture energy at the member scale. The performance of the proposed transition of the steel-concrete interaction from the bar scale to the member scale is assessed by means of reanalysis of experiments performed on RC bars. The application of the respective material model for reinforced concrete to real-life engineering structures is reported in Part II of this series.     

Experimental Study of Strengthening for Increased Shear Bearing Capacity

The need for structural rehabilitation of concrete structures all over the world is well known, and a great amount of research is going on in this field. The use of carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) plate bonding has been shown to be a competitive method with regard to both structural performance and economic factors. This method consists of bonding a thin carbon-fiber laminate or sheet to the surface of the structure to act as an outer reinforcement layer. However, most research in this area has been undertaken to study flexural behavior. This paper deals with shear strengthening of reinforced concrete members by use of CFRP. Tests on rectangular beams 3.5 to 4.5 m long have been undertaken to study different parameters, such as fatigue, anchorage, and others. The strain field in shear spans of beams simultaneously subjected to shear and bending is also studied. The tests presented also contribute to the existing literature on tests of concrete members strengthened for increased shear capacity.     

Postrepair Fatigue Performance of FRP-Repaired Corroded RC Beams: Experimental and Analytical Investigation

This paper presents the results of an experimental and analytical study of the fatigue performance of corroded reinforced concrete (RC) beams repaired with fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) sheets. Ten RC beam specimens (152×254×3,200?mm) were constructed. One specimen was neither strengthened nor corroded to serve as a reference; three specimens were corroded and not repaired; another three specimens were corroded and repaired with U-shaped glass FRP sheets that wrapped the cross section of the specimen; and the remaining three specimens were corroded and repaired with U-shaped glass FRP sheets for wrapping and carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) sheets for flexural strengthening. The FRP sheets were applied after the main reinforcing bars were corroded to an average mass loss of 5.5%. Following FRP repair, some specimens were tested immediately to failure, while the other repaired specimens were subjected to further corrosion before being tested to failure to investigate their postrepair (long-term) performance. Reinforcement steel pitting due to corrosion reduced the fatigue life significantly. The FRP wrapping had no significant effect on the fatigue performance, while using CFRP sheets for flexural strengthening enhanced the fatigue performance significantly. The fatigue results were compared to smooth specimen fatigue data to estimate an equivalent fatigue notch factor for the main reinforcing bars of the tested specimens.     

Constitutive Model for Time-Dependent Behavior of FRP–Concrete Interface

A fundamental understanding of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) laminate bonding behavior, including bond strength and effective bonding length, is of primary importance for the development of design guidelines and codes for concrete structures strengthened with externally bonded FRP reinforcement as a bond-critical application. However, the long-term serviceability of such FRP-strengthened structures is still a concern due to a lack of both long-term performance data and a suitable model to represent these performances. This study aims at presenting a viscoelastic model describing the time-dependent behavior of the FRP–concrete interface. The proposed model has been calibrated using strain measurements of the designed specimen for the experimental investigation of the time-dependent behavior of the FRP–concrete interface, including the development of the effective bonding length. Afterward, the proposed model satisfactorily predicts the time-dependent bonding length of the FRP sheet in comparison with the experimental results. The effects, both of creep of the adhesive layer and of creep and shrinkage of the concrete, on the changes in the effective bonding length of the PFRP sheet are also discussed.
