The Anti-Bending Performance Study of Loaded Continuous Beam that Strengthened with Prestressed Laterally Bonded Carbon Fiber Sheets

Abstract:

We studied the strengthening performance of prestressed laterally bonded carbon fiber sheets (CFS) to two-span continuous beams in this paper, which included one unstrengthened beam, two non-prestressed laterally bonded CFS strengthening beams, and four prestressed laterally bonded CFS strengthening beams, and all of them were sticked with CFS on different styles on tension part of lateral beam. We discussed the stress and deformation of laterally bonded CFS strengthened continuous beams under different initial load cases and different prestressed impact, and studied the influence of initial load and prestressing to reinforcement effect. The results showed that the size of initial load and prestressing would affect the reinforcement effect of laterally bonded CFS to continuous beams; The smaller initial load, the better reinforcement effect; The reinforcement effect to continuous beams of prestressed laterally bonded CFS was better than the non-prestressed laterally bonded CFS. Corresponding to latter, the former also owned better deformation performance, less cracks number and width.
