Study on the Flexural Behavior of BFRP-Plate Strengthened Beams

Abstract:

Flexural behavior of BFRP composite bamboo beams is tested with taking the size effect and number of BFRP-plate layers into consideration. The results illustrate that the BFRP-plates enhance the stiffness and ductility of bamboo beam, proving that BFRP plates undertake a portion of tension in the tensile region. With layers of BFRP plates increasing, the enhancing effects more significant. However, strengthening effects decline with the aspect ratio of bamboo beam.
