Research of the Deflections of Beams Reinforced with BFRP Armature and Hybrid Reinforcement Using Metal and BFRP Armature

Abstract:

It is presented the study of the beam samples reinforced with metal armature, BFRP armature and beams with hybrid reinforcement using metal and BFRP armature. Half of the tested samples of beams were manufactured on concrete with river sand, as a fine aggregate. The others were made on concrete with fractionated fine wastes of Mining and Beneficiary complex (MBC) instead of the river sand. The tests were carried out by static loading of the scheme of a single-run free beam loaded in the thirds of gear. It was established that the beams reinforced with BFRP armature and the beams with hybrid reinforcement showed an increase of strength, about 40%, compared with the beams reinforced with metal reinforcement. The deflections of the beams reinforced with BFRP armature were 315% -331% higher than the deflections of the beams reinforced with metal reinforcement and 165% -205% higher than it is allowed by standards. The use of hybrid reinforcement allowed reducing their deflections in two times compared to the beams reinforced with BFRP armature. At a load level of 60% of the destructive, the deflections of beams with hybrid reinforcement BFRP and metal armature did not exceed the maximum permissible norm. When concrete samples manufactured, the substitution of the river sand with fine fractionated wastes from the Mining and Beneficiary complex (MBC) did not affect their durability and deformability (the difference between the values according to these indicators is within the statistical error).
