Experimental Research on the Cracking Behavior of GFRP/Steel Wire Composite Rebar Reinforced Concrete Beam Based on Cracking Mechanics

Abstract:

The different mechanical property determines the difference on cracking behavior between GFRP/steel wire composite rebar reinforced concrete beams and steel rebar reinforced concrete beams according to cracking mechanics. In order to study the cracking behavior of concrete beams reinforced with GFRP/ steel wire composite rebar, five simply-supported beams were tested under three-point static load. The test variables were beam section size and concrete cover depth. Based on analysis on the test results, the calculation methods of cracking capacity and maximum crack width were proposed, and the limit value of crack width was suggested.
