Structural Behavior of Hybrid Reinforced Concrete Exterior Beam Column Joint

Abstract:

The introduction of wide range of novel raw materials and composites are tuning exceptionally the construction industry on its head. The recent research trends majorly intensified on hybrid concept using the varied materials collectively. This study primarily aims at experimentally investigating the response of concrete exterior beam column joint with Hybrid Reinforcement Technique (HRT) for reverse cyclic load conditions. The on-site fabricated, Hand Layup Carbon Fibre Reinforced Polymer (CFRP-HL) stirrups and the conventional steel main reinforcements form a hybrid reinforcement system in this study. The on-site constructed CFRP-HL reinforcement serves as a substitute for pre-fabricated CFRP rebars which has limitations and inflexibility in adapting the construction alterations. In total six types of specimens, a couple of test specimens are strengthened with HRT and another with external bond CFRP fibre wrap. In the remaining three specimens, one with non-conventional steel detailing and a couple of conventional joints that are designed according to IS 456:2000 and IS 13920:1993 respectively. In addition, the influence of varied spacing of stirrups in specimens is studied separately. Further, the test results on overall strength, stiffness, load deflection characteristics, dissipated energy and ductility of test specimens is evaluated and discussed. The use of CFRP-HL with steel as hybrid combination enables to comprehend the benefit from their distinctive characteristics. This proposal strongly improves the greater flexibility of using CFRP-HL in field as needed.
