Experimental Study of Concrete Strengthened by Stiffened Aluminum Plate

Article Preview

Abstract:

A noval concrete structure strengthening technique which employs aluminum alloy plate of stiffened sections was presented. Aluminum plate width, stiffener number and height were considered for bond performance investigations. Based on the simlple shear test, three types of failure mode were observed in this study. Test results indicates that the couple effect of aluminum width and stiffener number is more remarkable than stiffener height for strengthening behaviour. A set of comparison over the behaviour of aluminum laminate were carried out among EBR, NSM and stiffened plates. It shows that the siffened plates can be used sucessfully in concrete strengthening.
