Deep beams are used in various applications in reinforced concrete (R.C.) structures. There have been continuous efforts to enhance and improve the performance of these crucial elements in (R.C.) structures by using several strengthening techniques such as using the carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP). However, by exploring the literature, none of the previously conducted experimental tests have studied the propagation of cracks beneath the (CFRP) sheets. In this research, the propagation of the first diagonal crack, which takes place beneath the (CFRP), is investigated by modeling sixteen (R.C.) deep beams with different opening sizes. Two shear span/ depth ratios (a/h) are studied numerically using the finite element analysis tool (ABAQUS). All models are validated using the concrete damage plasticity (CDP) model, and their results are found similar to the experimental results obtained by other authors. Results show that the Finite Element models catch the real behavior of the (R.C.) deep beams. In addition, the (CFRP) sheets are found to enhance the failure load capacity as well as the flexural crack remarkably. Moreover, the (CFRP) increases the load required to cause the first diagonal crack for models with (a/h) equals 0.9, while there is a slight change in this load for models with (a/h) equals 1.1.

Behavior of CFRP confined concrete specimens under temperature cycles and sustained loads Erdil, Barış; Akyüz, Uğurhan; Yaman, İsmail Özgür; Department of Civil Engineering (2012) The application of carbon fiber reinforced polymers (CFRP) is one of the effective retrofitting and strengthening methods that is used worldwide and is starting to be used in Turkey as well because they have high strength and high modulus in the fiber direction, have very low coefficient of thermal expansion when compared to concrete and steel and are known not to corrode. Since FRPs are lightweight, their mass can be neglected when compared to concrete and steel. However, before proposing this material as ...
Modeling Beam-Column Joints in Fragility Assessment of Gravity Load Designed Reinforced Concrete Frames Çelik, Ozan Cem (Informa UK Limited, 2008-3-14) Reinforced concrete (RC) frame structures customarily have been designed in regions of low-to-moderate seismicity with little or no consideration of their seismic resistance. The move toward performance-based seismic engineering requires accurate reliability-based structural analysis models of gravity load designed (GLD) RC frames for predicting their behavior under seismic effects and for developing seismic fragilities that can be used as a basis for risk-informed decision-making. This analytical approach ...
Effect of fiber type and concrete strength on the energy absorption capacity of fiber reinforced concrete plates under quasi-static bending Mercan, Ali Macit; Yaman, İsmail Özgür; Department of Civil Engineering (2019) With all the known solid advantages of concrete, it has also limitations in its mechanical properties, such as low ductility, tensile strength and energy absorption capacity/toughness. In order to eliminate or minimize these limitations, some developments have been worked up by introducing natural or artificial fibers into the concrete mixture. The main scope of this thesis is to observe the effect of different fiber types and dosages on the performance of two different concrete grades. Two steel fibers wit...
Determination of the Tensile Strength of Different Fiber Reinforced Concrete Mixtures Ardoğa, Mehmet Kemal; Alam, Burhan; Yaman, İsmail Özgür (null; 2016-09-21) Enhancing the tensile performance of concrete is the main advantage when fibers are added to this type of building materials. This improvement is usually measured through indirect methods like bending or split-tensile tests, in a way similar to normal concrete due to the absence of a standard tensile test for such purpose. Naturally, this type of tests does not determine the real tensile strength of the fiber reinforced concrete. Hence an important parameter, that is needed in modelling and designing proces...
Simple equations for predicting the rotational ductility of fiber-reinforced-polymer strengthened reinforced concrete joints Abu Tahnat, Yazan B.; Samaaneh, Mohammad A.; Dwaikat, Mahmud M. S.; Halahla, Abdulsamee M. (2020-04-01) Achieving a certain limit of rotational ductility in retrofitted reinforced concrete (R.C) joints is very important in the design of earthquake-resistant structures. Strengthening of R.C joints using wraps of fiber-reinforced polymers (FRP) is a common attractive technique and has an effect on the ductility of such joints. This study focuses on developing simple conceptual equations to predict the ductility of exterior reinforced concrete (R.C) beamcolumn joints as a function of the applied FRP. The equatio...
