The Application of Carbon Fiber Concrete in the Intelligent Bridge Reinforcement

Abstract:

The carbon fiber is applied to the bridge reinforcement as the intelligent material because of the electrocaloric effect, which can improve the bearing capacity and the deformation capacity of the bridge. This paper investigated the application of the carbon fiber concrete in the maintenance of Guan Yin Dang bridge. With the combination of the analytical and experimental methods, we can obtain the calibration coefficient for the structure. The maximum calibration coefficient of the stress at the mid-span is less than 1, and meets the requirement of the criterion. The results demonstrate that applying the carbon fiber concrete in the bridge reinforcement is an effective method, which may provide a basis for the bridge intelligence of reinforcement and health inspection.
