Study on thermal effects on fatigue behavior of cracked steel plates strengthened by CFRP sheets

Carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) sheets have been used to strengthen steel structures to enhance fatigue life. However there is very limited information on the influence of temperatures on the fatigue strengthening efficiency. This paper describes an investigation on the behavior of cracked steel plates strengthened with CFRP at different temperatures. Firstly, through cylinder coupon tests, mechanical properties of the resin were found to vary at different temperatures, especially when the temperature exceeds the glass transition temperature T_g. Secondly, three cracked bare steel plates and five cracked steel plates strengthened with high modulus CFRP sheets were tested under fatigue loading at different temperatures. The results prove the effectiveness of CFRP strengthening technology to increase fatigue life when the temperature ranges from −40 °C up to 60 °C. It is concluded that the variation of temperature has an obvious influence on properties of the resin, leading to influence on fatigue life. Finally, the existing analytical method to predict fatigue lives of CFRP strengthened steel plates at ambient temperature was modified by considering the temperature effect. Experimental and theoretical results are compared and reasonable agreement is achieved. The influence of the number of CFRP layers and CFRP modulus is also found based on the proposed analytical method.

Effect of compression overload on fatigue strength improved by ICR treatment

ICR (Impact Crack-closure Retrofit) treatment was developed for extending fatigue life of cracked steel structures by closing the fatigue crack opening. By applying the ICR treatment to as-welded condition, compressive stress remains at weld toe. Therefore, ICR treatment can be used for the improvement of fatigue strength of welded joint at the same level of the other fatigue strength improved techniques. If a compression overload is subjected after ICR treatment, however, the residual compressive stress at weld toe will shift the tensile stress region. Accordingly, improved fatigue strength of welded joints by ICR treatment will be reduced after the compression overloaded. In order to investigate the effect of the compression overload on fatigue strength improved by ICR treatment, fatigue tests of out-of-plane gusset specimens were carried out. As the results, fatigue strength improved by ICR treatment was hardly reduced under the compression overload condition of nominal stress of ?190 MPa.     

A comparative study on fatigue behaviour of steel beams retrofitted with welding,pultruded CFRP plates and wet layup CFRP sheets

This paper investigates the fatigue behaviour of defected steel beams retrofitted with three different methods, i.e., welding, welding and bonding with CFRP plates or CFRP woven sheets laminated via a wet lay-up process. Two different types of CFRP materials and two types of epoxies were selected in this study. An initial cut was made on the tensile flange in the mid span of each beam. Different failure modes were observed for beams retrofitted with CFRP plates and CFRP sheets. It was found that one layer of CFRP plate and epoxy strengthening system can extend the fatigue life of steel beams about 7 times comparing with beams repaired with solely welding method, while the fatigue life was extended abound 3 times for beams strengthened with 4 layers of CFRP woven sheets. Mean S–N curves were obtained based on the test data, that can be used to predict the fatigue life of steel beams retrofitted with similar CFRP materials. The crack propagation rate was measured using strip strain gauges. The CFRP plates showed better performance in resisting crack propagation than CFRP sheets under fatigue loading conditions. The relationship between the maximum stress and the crack propagation rate could be used to predict the crack length of beams retrofitted with similar CFRP strengthening systems.     

Study on fatigue crack propagation of a through-thickness crack subjected to out-of-plane bending

In Japan, fatigue through-thickness cracks have been reported in some steel bridges. Some of the cracks originate due to the effects of out-of-plane bending. In order to perform more efficient maintenance to prevent fatigue damages, it is essential to identify the crack propagation behavior of through-thickness cracks due to stress resulting from out-of-plane bending. The stress intensity factor for through-thickness cracks resulting from bending is an important factor for the assessment crack propagation behavior and has previously been determined by making the assumption that the crack front shape is straight in the thickness direction. However, the actual crack front is curved under the stresses of out-of-plane bending. In this paper, in order to identify the propagation behavior of through-thickness cracking due to out-of-plane bending, a fatigue test on through-thickness cracked plate was carried out. Furthermore, the stress intensity factor along curved crack front was investigated via finite element analysis on a test specimen.

Crack propagation prediction of CFRP retrofitted steel plates with different degrees of damage using BEM

Although carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) materials have proven effective in strengthening steel structures especially when used to improve fatigue behaviour, further study is required to investigate their effectiveness when applied at different stages of crack propagation in steel elements. This paper presents a numerical study on CFRP retrofitted steel plates with different degrees of damage using the boundary element method (BEM). The numerical results compared well with the experimental data, which demonstrated that the BEM is reliable for crack propagation analysis of CFRP laminate retrofitted steel plates. Finally, a parametric analysis was conducted to investigate the influence of bond length, bond width, CFRP stiffness and adhesive shear modulus on stress intensity factor (SIF) values.     

Fatigue strength improvement of welded joints by blast cleaning for subsequent painting

In the fabrication of steel bridges, prior to painting, blast cleaning is performed to clean the surfaces and to increase the adhesive properties of the surfaces for the subsequent painting. In addition to these objectives, blast cleaning can improve the fatigue strength of welded joints, as a result of the impact of forcibly propelled abrasive materials on the welded joints. A series of fatigue tests were carried out on the five different types of welded joints: one-side out-of-plane gusset fillet welded joints, both-side out-of-plane gusset fillet welded joints, non-load-carrying rib fillet welded cruciform joints, butt welded joints, and a large-scale model beam with out-of-plane gusset welded joints, and under the three different types of load conditions: uniaxial tension, out-of-plane bending, or in-plane bending stress cycles. Drawing on previous fatigue test results that include unpublished data, this paper presents the beneficial effects of blast cleaning for the subsequent painting applications on the fatigue strength improvement of welded joints and also presents a simple quality control method for the blast cleaning process that improves the fatigue strength.     

Strengthening of old metallic structures in fatigue with prestressed and non-prestressed CFRP laminates

Test results and theoretical considerations on four different configurations of strengthened old steel plates with a centre notch loaded in fatigue are presented in this paper. The main interest of the research was to improve fatigue life by adhesive bonding of CFRP laminates on the steel surface, and this was achieved. Measurements included monitoring of crack growth and strains/stresses in the laminate and adhesive. Results showed that it was possible to lengthen the fatigue life almost four times as long as a reference specimen with non-prestressed laminates, and when prestressing laminates, crack growth was halted completely. A simple fracture mechanics solution was used to predict stop of crack growth for prestressed specimens, and a linear elastic model for stresses in the adherents and adhesive was used for design of the specimens. Both proved their reliability with well prepared and precisely fabricated specimens.

The Influence of Crack Propagation Angle on the Stress Intensity Factors (SIFs) of Cracked Tubular T-Joints

This paper focuses on the crack propagation angle effects on the stress intensity factors of a 3-D semi-elliptical surface crack in tubular T-joints. A robust mesh generator is created and used in modeling and analyzing a wide range of tubular T-joints. The mesh elements are generated by using MATLAB programming language then analyzed using ABAQUS software. The numerical model results are firstly compared with existing experimental results for verification which shows a good agreement with a maximum deviation of 3.44%. Then, the influence of the crack propagation angle on the stress intensity factors is determined, along the crack front, on 1200 CHS T-joint with semi-elliptical surface crack. It has been found that the crack propagation angle influenced the stress intensity factor at the crack front and subsequently the fatigue life of tubular T-joints. The stress intensity factor specially at the deepest point of the crack increases as crack propagation angle increases. The effect of the crack propagation angle on the SIF is directly proportional with the crack depth and crack length.     

Flexural behavior of strengthened steel–concrete composite beams by various plating methods

The effect of pre-intermediate separation on the flexural behavior of strengthened steel–concrete composite beams by either adhesively bonded carbon fiber reinforced polymers (CFRP) sheet or welded/bonded steel plate was studied. In the case of strengthened by CFRP sheet, two different attachment patterns, namely, CFRP sheet wrapped around the flange of the I-beam and CFRP sheet wrapped around the flange along with a part of the web, were examined by testing four different strengthened steel–concrete composite beams under four point bending (4PB). Two of these beams were strengthened by fully bonded CFRP sheet with the two different patterns, while, the others are similar but have pre-intermediate debonding area of 50 mm length × flange width at the bottom surface of the lower flange. In the case of strengthened by steel plate, three different attachment patterns of steel plate to the soffit of the beams, namely, discontinuously welded, end welded, and bonded/welded steel plates, were also tested under 4PB.The experimental results showed that, there is no growth of the intermediate debonding before the yield of the lower flange occurred for all strengthened beams by CFRP sheet. After yielding, the beams with pre-debonding area showed lower flexural capacity than those with fully bonding due to the rapid growth of the intermediate debonding. On the other hand, there is a difference in the yield load between the three different patterns of the welded steel plates with a marginal difference in the elastic stiffness.
