Effect of Concrete Compressive Strength on the Bond Performance of Flexural Prisms Externally Strengthened with CFRP Laminates

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper presents a study from an ongoing research project on the bond performance of flexural prisms strengthened using carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) laminates. The primary objective is to evaluate the effect of normal-strength concrete (NSC – 30MPa) and high-strength concrete (HSC - 50MPa) on the bond performance of plain concrete prisms notched at the mid-span and strengthened using CFRP laminates. Six of the twelve plain concrete prisms were strengthened using CFRP laminates, while the remaining prisms were unstrengthened to serve as control specimens. After achieving 28 days of curing in standard lab conditions, all prisms were tested under a four-point bending test. The ultimate mid-span deflection, maximum and ultimate strains at the mid-span, strain distribution at different positions along the length of the laminate, and bond/shear stress versus slip were analyzed to evaluate the bond performance of flexural prisms. The average ultimate load-carrying capacities and mid-span deflection of the NSC and HSC groups were 31.33 and 35.02 kN and 0.55 and 1.54 mm, respectively. The average CFRP strain values at the mid-span corresponding to the ultimate load were 5005 and 3544 με for the NSC and HSC groups, respectively. The maximum attained bond-stress values for NSC and HSC groups were 1.71 and 1.42 MPa, respectively. The corresponding values for slip at maximum bond stress are 0.27 and 0.24 mm for the two groups, respectively. It was concluded from the study that the concrete compressive strength has minimal effect on the flexural bond performance of concrete prisms externally bonded with CFRP laminates.
