FRP加固混凝土梁受弯剥离破坏的有限元分析

FRP加固钢筋混凝土梁受弯剥离破坏是一种非常常见的破坏形式。首先基于微观尺度有限元分析,对受弯剥离破坏的机理进行了研究,提出了一个受弯剥离的双重剥离破坏准则,以及相应的界面粘结滑移关系,使得受弯剥离可以由基于普通弥散裂缝模型的混凝土单元来加以模拟,并开发出了相应的FRP-混凝土界面单元模型。将该界面单元嵌入通用有限元程序MSC.MARC,对45根受弯剥离破坏的试验梁进行了有限元分析。分析结果表明,提出的计算模型与试验结果吻合良好,可以真实模拟受弯剥离破坏过程。

Fracture Resistance of a Cracked Concrete Beam Post-strengthened with FRP Sheets

Fibre-reinforced plastic (FRP) composites have been increasingly used in rehabilitation and strengthening of concrete structures. Significant increases in stiffness and strength have been achieved by applying this technique. However, there is concern about the ductility or toughness performance of FRP/concrete hybrid structures, which is critical in the application of this technology. This paper presents a new theoretical method to predict the fracture resistance behaviour of FRP post-strengthened concrete flexural beams. No slip between the FRP and plain concrete matrix is assumed and Mode I fracture propagation is considered. The model is valid for a wide range of span-to-depth ratios and any crack length. The influence of the bridging stresses provided by the fracture process zone (FPZ) at the tip of a fictitious fracture is examined. The effect of various material and geometric parameters on the resistance curve and toughness of the hybrid structure is discussed, based on the numerical results from the developed theoretical formulae. The results provide a useful insight into the strengthening/toughening and the design of FRP sheet/concrete beam structures.     

Explicit local buckling analysis and design of fiber–reinforced plastic composite structural shapes

Pultruded fiber–reinforced plastic (FRP) composite structural shapes (beams and columns) are thin-walled open or closed sections consisting of assemblies of flat plates and commonly made of E-glass fiber and either polyester or vinylester resins. Due to high strength-to-stiffness ratio of composites and thin-walled sectional geometry of FRP shapes, buckling is the most likely mode of failure before material failure. In this paper, explicit analyses of local buckling of rectangular orthotropic composite plates with various unloaded edge boundary conditions (i.e., (1) rotationally restrained along both unloaded edges (RR), and (2) one rotationally restrained and the other free along the unloaded edges (RF)) and subjected to uniform in-plane axial action at simply-supported loaded edges are first presented. A variational formulation of the Ritz method is used to establish an eigenvalue problem, and explicit solutions of plate local buckling coefficients in term of the rotational restraint stiffness (k) are obtained. The two cases of rotationally restrained plates (i.e., the RR and RF plates) are further treated as discrete plates of closed and open sections, and by considering the effect of elastic restraints at the joint connections of flanges and webs, the local buckling of different FRP shapes under uniform axial compression is studied. The approximate expressions of the rotational restraint stiffness (k) for various common FRP sections are provided, and their application to sectional local buckling predictions is illustrated. The explicit local buckling formulas of rotationally restrained plates are validated with the exact transcendental solutions. The analytical predictions for local buckling of various FRP profiles based on the present discrete plate analysis and considering the elastic restraints of the flange–web connections are in excellent agreements with available experimental results and finite element eigenvalue analyses. A design guideline for local buckling prediction and related performance improvement is proposed. The present explicit formulation can be applied effectively to determine the local buckling capacities of composite plates with elastic restraints along the unloaded edges and can be further used to predict the local buckling strength of FRP shapes.

Self-equilibrating moments in FRP-reinforced continuous structures

In continuous steel or concrete structures with surface-mounted fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) plates as flexural reinforcement, self-equilibrating moments can influence the loads at first yield and at failure, the latter due to potential buckling of the FRP plate or to end-peel both on account of offsets between points of contraflexure and the nearby FRP curtailments. In this paper, expressions are derived for the total (including self-equilibrating) moments along 2-span continuous structures with differential settlement. The expressions show how moments depend on support-to-member stiffness ratios and on distributions of section stiffness for service and ultimate limit states. Thus, the analysis is generic, applicable to FRP-reinforced steel and concrete structures. This analysis is verified via test data (including observation of end-peel in FRP compression curtailment zones offset from nearby contraflexure) and is used to construct 3D plots that facilitate identification of stiffness ratios which lead to significant self-equilibrating moments and contraflexure offset effects. Use of the plots to assess influences of differential settlement on laboratory test specimens is discussed. The analysis is shown to lead to an unprecedented result, namely that a unique point of load application exists for which changes to the stiffness layout have no impact on the moment distribution.     

Influence of curvature geometry of laminated FRP composite panels on delamination damage in adhesively bonded lap shear joints

Three dimensional non-linear finite element analyses of Lap Shear Joints (LSJs) made with curved laminated FRP composite panels having pre-existing delaminations between the first and second plies of the strap adherend have been carried out using contact and Multi-Point Constraint elements (MPC). Progressive growth of delamination has been simulated by sequential release of the MPC elements. Strain Energy Release Rate (SERR), being an indicative parameter has been computed using Virtual Crack Closure Technique (VCCT) for assessing the growth and propagation of the delamination damage fronts. The inter-laminar stresses and the SERRs at the two fronts of the pre-embedded delamination are found to be significantly influenced by the delamination size. The three individual modes of SERR on the two delamination fronts are found to be much different from each other, indicating dissimilar rates of propagation. The curvature geometry of adherends significantly influences the SERR values. It is seen that decrease of radius of curvature of adherend panels, keeping their widths unchanged, increases the SERR values. Flatter FRP composite adherends have superior resistance to delamination damage propagation as compared to LSJs made with curved composite laminated panels.     

Critical Analysis of Fibre‐Reinforced Polymer Near‐Surface Mounted Double‐shear Pull‐out Tests

The study of the bond behaviour between fibre‐reinforced polymer (FRP) systems and concrete is an issue that nowadays attracts many researchers. The scientific community dedicated to the research of FRP reinforcement has been conducting numerous experimental programmes aiming to assess the local bond–slip law of the FRP–adhesive–concrete connection. This paper reports the relevant results obtained by the Structural Composite Research Group of Minho University in the scope of an international Round Robin Test. The suitability of the recommended test setup to derive a local bond constitutive law for modelling the bond behaviour of near‐surface mounted reinforcement systems is discussed based on a deep interpretation of the results.
