Experimental Study of Cyclic Loading Behaviors of Impaired Reinforced Concrete Beams Strengthening with Prestressed CFRP Sheets

Article Preview

Abstract:

The experimental study was carried out on the cyclic loading behaviors of impaired reinforced concrete beams strengthening with prestressed CFRP sheets. Eight beams in four groups with or without strengthening with prestressed CFRP sheets were tested, in which one or two layers of prestressed CFRP sheet were bonded on the bottom surface of the beams. Based on the analyses of test results, the flexural stiffness and ultimate resistance under cyclic load were effectively enhanced for the strengthened beams with the increasing layers of CFRP sheet, but the ductility of their mid-span deflection was reduced.
