Flexural behavior

This article presents the results of an experimental study on the flexural behavior of 4 specimens: 1 specimen of reinforced concrete (RC), 1 specimen strengthened with FRP sheets, and 02 specimens with the same height as the RC specimen but with a replacement of 3 cm of the protective concrete layer with a UHPC layer, either bonded or not bonded to the existing concrete, with or without the reinforcement of FRP sheets.

This study shows that the stirrups corrosion should receive more attention in the serviceability limit state due to its considerable effect on flexural behavior. Based on a parametric study, it shows that the effect of the crosssection loss of tension reinforcements on the load-carrying capacity of the corroded beam is more significant than the bond strength reduction.

The elasto-plastic characteristics of plain concrete are inevitably affected by the loading rate. This paper presents an experimental investigation on the effect of loading rate on flexural behavior of concrete and reinforced concrete (RC) beams, which was carried out with Walter+bai electro-hydraulic servo system.

This paper addresses the strength and deformation capacity of slender columns retrofitted by externally bonded Carbon Fiber-Reinforced Polymers (CFRP) subjected to seismic loading. The behaviour of RC columns depending on the CFRP confinement (carbon CFRP jacket) and on flexural reinforcement (carbon plates) was analysed by a nonlinear finite element method based on multilayer shell element and multifiber beams with plasticity and damage models.

This study investigated experimental bearing capacity of corroded reinforced concrete beams. Six testing beams were made of concrete having compressive strength of 25 MPa, with the dimensions of 80 x 120 x 1200 mm. They were divided into two groups depending of tension reinforcement ratio.

Engineered cementitious composite (ECC) creates many potential civil engineering applications due to its outstanding ultimate tensile strain capacity (normally exceeding 2%) compared to conventional concrete and fiber reinforced concrete. The high tensile ductility of ECC is mainly influenced by fiber characteristics.

The application of prestressing steel is restricted in highly corrosive environment area due to corrosion of prestressing steel, which leads to reduction in strength and it may cause sudden failure. Carbon textile is considered as an alternate material due to its corrosive resistance property, high tensile strength and perfectly elastic. In this study, an experimental investigation was carried out to study the flexural behavior of prestressed and non-prestressed carbon textile reinforced concrete plates.
