Behavior and design of FRP bonded autoclaved aerated concrete beams

2021-05-01
Fiber Reinforced Polymers (FRPs) have advantages such as lightness, high strength, and suppressing corrosion risk. There is a vast amount of research on the FRP strengthening of reinforced concrete elements. However, the behavior of FRP bonded Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (AAC) beams has not been extensively investigated in the past. In this study, several experiments were conducted to explore the performance of FRP bonded AAC beams. In this scope, unidirectional single layer carbon and glass fiber laminates with half or full of the beam width were bonded to the AAC. Test results were mainly evaluated by comparing the stiffness, strength, ductility, energy absorption capacity, and the cost of materials. Additionally, a numerical study (based on section analysis and finite element simulation) was conducted to estimate the load-deformation response of the specimens. Based on the analysis results, effective FRP strains were evaluated and compared with the recommendations given in the ACI 440.2R design guidelines for FRPs bonded to reinforced concrete. According to the limited test data, a 60% reduction appears to be appropriate while computing the effective FRP strains for FRP bonded AAC beams. (C) 2021 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

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 ...
MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF REPAIRED CARBON FIBER REINFORCED POLYMER COMPOSITES
Sonat, Emine Evren; Özerinç, Sezer; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2021-12-10)
Carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites are increasingly used in the aerospace industry due to their high specific strength compared to conventional metallic materials. However, a significant shortcoming of these composites is their increased susceptibility to damage. Structural repair is a common method to restore the load-carrying capacity of a damaged part when the damage size exceeds the pre-defined tolerances. Scarf and stepped bonded repair methods are the primary choice for cases that requi...
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...

Comparison of concrete mixtures containing steel mesh, steel fiber and polypropylene fibers were evaluated in terms of toughness, flexural strength, compressive strength and split tensile strength. Five types of concrete were prepared with steel mesh, steel fiber and polypropylene fiber with the identical water/cement (w/c) ratio and the identical workability. 10x60x60 cm plates, 8x8x32 cm beams and 10x20 cm cylindrical concrete specimens were prepared. Compressive strength, split-tensile strength and tough...

Hetemoğlu, Yalçın Oğuz; Yaman, İsmail Özgür; Department of Civil Engineering (2018)
Through the last few decades, the idea of adding fibers in to concrete has been quite improved, considering the significant contribution of fibers to the mechanical properties of concrete such as tensile strength, energy absorption capacity and ductility. As a result of many intensive research Fiber Reinforced Concrete (FRC) has become a high-tech material that ensures great performance yet needs efficient design and application. However, the lack of a universally accepted approach and standardized test met...
