Experimental Investigation on Flexural Bearing Capacity of Concrete Beams Reinforced with CFRP-PCPs Composite Rebars

Article Preview

Abstract:

The flexural behavior of concrete beams reinforced with CFRP-PCPs composite rebars was studied. Experimental results showed that the performance of CFRP-PCPs composite rebars beams is superior to that of CFRP beams at service and ultimate and comparable and even better than RC beams at service condition. Flexural cracks of concrete beams reinforced with CFRP-PCPs composite rebars are hairline before prism cracking, and they widen after the prism cracking Keywords: CFRP-PCPs, composite rebars, beam, flexural
