Research on Flexural Behavior of Damaged RC Beams Strengthened with Basalt Fiber Reinforced Polymer

Abstract:

The experiment study on flexural behavior was carried out on six damaged RC beams strengthened by BFRP and two common beams by the way of three point loading method. The failure characteristics, flexural capacity, deflection, strain distribution and the influence of the different layers of BFRP was observed and analyzed. Results show that the bearing capacity of the damaged RC beams strengthened with BFRP is enhanced with the layers increasing, and the relationship is not linear; the bearing capacity of the specimen increased by 79.98% when five layers are pasted; with the increase of paste layers of BFRP, the peel failure mode is more likely to occur.
