Performance of insulated FRP-strengthened concrete flexural members under fire conditions

This paper presents the results of fire resistance tests on carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) strengthened concrete flexural members, i.e., T-beams and slabs. The strengthened members were protected with fire insulation and tested under the combined effects of thermal and structural loading. The variables considered in the tests include the applied load level, extent of strengthening, and thickness of the fire insulation applied to the beams and slabs. Furthermore, a previously developed numerical model was validated against the data generated from the fire tests; subsequently, it was utilized to undertake a case study. Results from fire tests and numerical studies indicate that owing to the protection provided by the fire insulation, the insulated CFRP-strengthened beams and slabs can withstand four and three hours of standard fire exposure, respectively, under service load conditions. The insulation layer impedes the temperature rise in the member; therefore, the CFRP–concrete composite action remains active for a longer duration and the steel reinforcement temperature remains below 400°C, which in turn enhances the capacity of the beams and slabs.     

塔山矿新型27 mm高强玻璃钢锚杆技术应用

由于塔山矿回采巷道均为放顶煤开采，矿压显现明显，巷道断面大，在回采过程中尾顺槽围岩变形量大，致使使用传统普通玻璃钢锚杆支护时出现杆体被拉断、杆体尾部被剪断等支护失效现象。为了解决上述问题，采用新型27 mm高强玻璃钢锚杆对塔山矿8112工作面进行试验。试验结果表明，在保证采掘安全的前提下，使用新型锚杆取代普通锚杆，可以大大提高巷道支护的稳定性，节约巷道支护成本，保证施工工期正常完成，同时提高工作面回采效率。采用新型锚杆后，使巷道支护兼具安全、经济双重效益，同时对全矿井以及其他所有同类型矿井类似回采巷道，具有积极的推广和借鉴意义。     

Environmental durability of adhesively bonded FRP/steel joints in civil engineering applications: State of the art

Over the past three decades, the strengthening and repair of existing civil engineering structures using FRP laminates has attracted a great deal of attention. With the advances in polymer science, adhesive bonding has become a common joining technology in these applications. Despite numerous studies that address the short-term behaviour of adhesively bonded FRP/steel joints, uncertainty with respect to long-term performance still remains. This knowledge gap is regarded as a critical barrier, hindering the widespread application of FRPs to strengthen and retrofit steel structures. This paper presents the state of the art in terms of the durability of FRP/steel joints used in civil engineering applications. Important influential factors relating to the durability of adhesively bonded joints are reviewed and different damage mechanisms are discussed. Moreover, related investigations of the combined environmental durability of these joints are critically reviewed and the findings are presented. The paper concludes with a discussion to motivate future research topics, while it is emphasised that the generalisation of the available results is questionable.     

An acoustic-optical fiber NDE technique for interfacial debonding detection in FRP-retrofitted structures

Based on the theory of free vibration of a thin plate, the acoustic-optical fiber NDE technique is proposed for the detection of interfacial debonding in FRP-retrofitted structures. A focused sound beam generated from a variable frequency loudspeaker source can be controlled to form a local vibration field at the surface of an FRP-retrofitted structure. Local vibration anomalies caused by interfacial debonding in the structure can be measured by the surface-mounted optical fiber interferometer, and thus, interfacial debonding can be detected, mapped, and quantified. Based on the results from both numerical and experimental studies, the feasibility of interfacial debonding detection in FRP-retrofitted structures with the proposed technique is demonstrated.

外贴纤维加固梁斜截面纤维应变分布的试验研究

外贴纤维复合材料可以提高混凝土梁斜截面抗剪承载力。对外贴封闭纤维箍加固构件,其破坏过程经历了从梁侧纤维剥离到最终纤维拉断两个状态。显然,从适用性的角度,梁侧纤维剥离状态也是一个重要的状态,但是,目前该领域的研究都集中在最后的纤维拉断状态。本文通过外贴封闭纤维箍加固梁的试验研究,重点研究了梁侧纤维剥离之前,斜截面纤维应变发展及分布的规律。试验表明,梁侧纤维的剥离破坏和纤维拉断破坏首先产生在其中一条纤维箍上,然后沿着斜裂缝其它纤维箍相继产生。在斜裂缝上,纤维应变的分布是极不均匀的。斜截面纤维应变分布系数,即沿斜裂缝上纤维应变的平均值除以相应条件下斜裂缝上纤维应变的最大值,与纤维配置量的关系不大,但随着荷载水平的增大而缓慢增加,它的主要影响因素是剪跨比。本文在试验分析的基础上,提出了纤维加固梁斜截面纤维应变分布系数的初步计算模式。

Retraining local and global buckling behavior of steel plastic hinges using CFRP

Carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites have been shown to be particularly well suited for external strengthening of reinforced concrete members. However, there is limited information about how they can be used to strengthen steel structures that are susceptible to local and global instabilities. This paper discusses test results of full-scale steel flexural specimens subjected to reversed cyclic loading, some of which are wrapped with CFRP in the plastic hinge region. The main variables investigated are lateral bracing, to study the effect of CFRP wrapping on local buckling and lateral torsional buckling, wrapping scheme, and number of layers of fibers. The test results show that application of CFRP in the plastic hinge region of flexural members has substantial benefits. In particular, the CFRP wraps can increase the size of the yielded plastic hinge region, slow down the occurrence of local buckling, and delay lateral torsional buckling. These benefits reduce strain demands in the critical plastic hinge region and substantially improve energy dissipation capacity within the plastic hinge region.
