Experimental Researches on Fire Resistance of CFS Shear Strengthened Reinforced Concrete Beams

Abstract:

Fire-resistance performance experiments with static loading-fire are investigated about one carbon fiber sheet（CFS） shear strengthened and one without CFS strengthened reinforced concrete (RC) beams exposed to the ISO834 standard fire. Shear strengthened RC beams are wrapped with fire insulation material- thick painted fire retardant coatings. Relationship between measure points temperature, displacement and time are achieved. The results suggest that: the ratio of shear-span is the main factor to fire-resistance rating and failure modes of CFS shear strengthened RC beams in fire; shear-failure fire-resistance rating are increased by thickening fire insulation to shear strengthened RC beams; mid-span deflection of shear failure is approximate one half of bending failure when shear strengthened RC beams.
