The present study pertains to the influence of variation of FRP (Fiber Reinforced Polymer) proportion in tension reinforcement on the flexural behavior of RC beams with FRP and steel reinforcing bars. A total of 25 beams, including FRP-, steel- and hybrid FRP-steel reinforced ones, were tested to failure under four-point bending. Two types of FRP bars, GFRP (Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer) and BFRP (Basalt Fiber Reinforced Polymer), were used and both over- and under-reinforced beams were tested. The beams in each group were designed to have close flexural capacities to fully reveal the effect of FRP proportion in the tension zone on beam ductility for a fixed bending capacity. A new analytical model was developed for estimating the bending capacities of beams. Different deformation and curvature ductility definitions were adopted and an energy-based definition, revealing the expected tendency in beam ductility, was determined. The test results revealed that the presence of even a single FRP bar in the tension zone results in reductions up to 40% in beam ductility as compared to the beam with full steel reinforcement. Each additional replacement of a steel bar with FRP was found to cause a further decrease up to 20% in beam ductility.

CORRELATION OF MICROSTRUCTURE AND FAILURE INITIATING SITES IN AN AISI M2 HIGH-SPEED STEEL USING VICKERS INDENTATION
Ögel, Bilgehan (1990-01-01)
In this study, the relation of crack initiation and propagation to microstructure was shown in an AISI M2 high-speed steel using Vickers hardness indentation. Observations were carried out on the cracks generated from the corners of the square pyramid indentation in both the as-quenched, the quenched and tempered specimens. It is shown that cracks are nucleated from the corners of the indentation by either cleavage of the carbide or by decohesion between the carbide and the matrix, depending on the size o...
Effect of soil-bridge interaction on the magnitude of internal forces in integral abutment bridge components due to live load effects
Dicleli, Murat (Elsevier BV, 2010-01-01)
In this study, the effect of soil-bridge interaction on the magnitude of the internal forces in integral abutment bridge (IAB) components due to live load effects is studied. For this purpose, structural models of typical IABs are built by including and excluding the effect of backfill and foundation soil. Analyses of the models are then conducted under an AASHTO live load. In the analyses, the effects of the backfill and foundation soil on the magnitude of the internal forces in IAB components are studied ...
Computation of transient thermal stresses in elastic-plastic tubes: Effect of coupling and temperature-dependent physical properties
Eraslan, Ahmet Nedim (2002-06-01)
The objective of this study is to obtain the transient solution of the thermoelastic-plastic deformation of internal heat-generating tubes by considering the thermomechanical coupling effect and the temperature-dependent physical properties of the material. The previously developed steady-state model describing the elastic-plastic behavior of the tubes is modified to obtain the transient solution. The propagation of the elastic-plastic interface for a given heat load is obtained; and the corresponding stres...
EFFECTS of POSITION (or LOCATION) of NON-CENTRALLY BONDED SYMMETRIC DOUBLE LAP JOINT (or SYMMETRIC DOUBLE DOUBLER JOINT) on BENDING VIBRATIONS of COMPOSITE MINDLIN PLATES or PANELS
Yuceoglu, U.; Guvendik, O. (2010-11-18)
In the present study, the "Effects of Position (or Location) of Non-Centrally Bonded Symmetric Double Doubler Joint in Composite Mindlin Plates or Panels" are theoretically analyzed and are numerically solved in some detail. The "Plate Adherends" and the upper and lower "Doubler Plates" of the "Bonded Joint System" are considered as dissimilar, orthotropic "Mindlin Plates" joined through the dissimilar upper and lower very thin adhesive layers. The transverse and rotary moments of inertia are included in th...
Effect of cold rolling and annealing parameters on the microstructure and mechanical properties of dual phase steels
Poyraz, Okan; Ögel, Bilgehan; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2020)
This study consists of change in the microstructure and mechanical properties of the 0.14C-1.98Mn steel with different cold rolling ratios, annealing temperature and annealing time. The starting sheet metal is 2.8mm thick and have a microstructure of ferrite-pearlite in as-received condition. Samples are cold rolled such that either 30%, 45% or 60% cold rolling is achieved. In order to see the change in microstructure below and in the intercritical temperatures, samples are annealed for 5 minutes or 10 minu...
