Experiment on Flexural Capacity of Damaged RC Beams Strengthened with Composite CFRP

Article Preview

Abstract:

In order to study the flexural capacity of the seismic damaged RC beams after reinforcement, the bearing capacity and ductility are comprehensively evaluated, which is based on the results of three points of division loading test on 8 models which are divided into 4 groups. Experimental results show that compared with the direct pasting CFRP, the ultimate bearing capacity of RC beam strengthened by composite CFRP sheets is much higher, the average is 20.7%. Cracking load and ductility are also improved higher. The reinforcement effect of CFRP sheets is used very well. The research results provide advice and reference for the next seismic damaged RC beams in the reinforcement engineering.
