Influence of Contact Parameters on Load-Carrying Capacity of Hybrid Composite Cross-Section

Abstract:

FRP (Fiber Reinforced Plastic) materials are corrosion resistant not requiring any specific treatment. The utilization of these materials is expanding. New research works have started to focus on using these materials on self-contained formwork in composite systems. It allows decreasing the concrete cover on minimum value just to assure sufficient bonding between reinforcement and concrete (the influence of aggressive environment is minimal). Moreover, the stay-in-place formwork is self-contained. It means using this system as formwork during casting of concrete and another supporting structure is not needed. The paper is focused on experimental analysis of stay-in-place GFRP (Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic) formwork in composite system (three-functional GFRP formwork and reinforced concrete slab – RC slab) and its use on floors in building structures. The load-carrying capacity of the composite system is highly influenced by quality of cohesion between GFRP formwork and concrete. This cohesion was investigated by using “push tests”. The results from experimental push tests were compared with the numerical model and also will serve for numerical modelling of real bonding of the girders.
