Experimental Study of Pre-Cast Reinforced Concrete Deep Beams (Hallow Core section) Retrofitting with Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP)
Main Article Content
Abstract
Experimental programs based test results has been used as a means to find out the response of individual elements of structure. In the present study involves investigated behavior of five reinforced concrete deep beams of dimension (length 1200 x height 300 x width150mm) under two points concentrated load with shear span to depth ratio of (1.52), four of these beams with hallow core and
retrofit with carbon fiber reinforced polymer CFRP (with single or double or sides Strips). Two shapes of hallow are investigated (circle and square section) to evaluated the response of beams in case experimental behavior. Test on simply supported beam was performed in the laboratory & loaddeflection, strain of concrete data and crack pattern of those five reinforced concrete beams was recorded. Parametric studies are also conducted in this study includes the effect of hallow opening (shapes and materials), and CFRP ratio (single, double strips and side horizontal stirrups). Comparisons of test results from experimental data are based on load capacity, deflection, crack pattern and strain of concrete for all beams. From this comparison it was found that hallow effect on strength capacity i.e. decrease by about (13%) and increased in deflection and strain by about (18%, 24%) respectively compared with solid section. Also find that CFRP give more enhancements in loading capacity by about(33 to 66%) and decreased deflection for same applied load by about (26%). Test results that show when sides of beams retrofit with CFRP strip against horizontal shear increased strength by about by (20%). Finally the using double CFRP strips for hallow section gives equivalent or more than strength capacity of solid section.
