Mechanical Properties of Reinforced Steel Beams Influenced by the Degree of Unloading

Article Preview

Abstract:

Several I-shaped steel beams reinforced by CFRP are unloaded at different levels and the mechanical properties are analyzed and compared. Five forms of I-shaped steel beam (beam without reinforced; reinforced beam in condition of non-unloading; reinforced beam in condition of 50% unloaded; reinforced beam in condition of 75% unloaded; reinforced beam in condition of completely unloaded) are analyzed and compared. Conclusions are made that the stiffness and yielding load of I-shaped steel beams reinforced by CFRP are improved and the bearing capacity is improved for certain degree when the beams are unloaded.
