Strengthened by Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymers

Abstract: The non-prismatic reinforced concrete (RC) beam considered a unique case in structural engineering as it has variable depth all over beam section and it doesn’t have sufficient information in structural codes, this can put structural engineers in a challenge to predict how this beam will react under specific types of loads or with different geometrical variables and strengthening existence. In this research, concrete plastic damage constitutive model developed and used to explore the shear strength of nonprismatic RC beam structure. Furthermore, in order to improve the shear strength of existent RC beams, Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymers (CFRP) strips are attached to the surface of the critical sections. For this aim, initially numerical model was calibrated according to the data obtained from laboratory tests then a series of numerical simulations with different variables are carried out to investigate the shear behavior and these variables were: haunch angle α value and CFRP strips existence (composite status). The numerical results show that changing beams geometry (haunch angle α value) can have an influence over shear strength, in addition, using CFRP strips has an obvious effect on the failure behavior of the non-prismatic RC beam structure. Finite element simulations are executed by using ABAQUS.

Join us for the 13th edition of the fib International PhD Symposium in Civil Engineering. Since its conception in 1996, this PhD Symposium has evolved into a highly respected scientific meeting, connecting young researchers and high-profile scientists alike.

This event provides an excellent opportunity for PhD students to share scientific thoughts and findings with the international research community from all over the world in the following fields: innovation in materials and structures, construction technology, structural analysis and design, durability and life assessment, sustainability and life cycle assessment and monitoring and structural assessment.

In response to the current circumstances, the Organising Committee of the PhD Symposium in Paris has decided in accordance with the fib to hold an online PhD Symposium on 26-28 August 2020 and an in-person Symposium on 21-23 July 2021 in Paris, France.

The fib, Fédération internationale du béton, is a not-for-profit association formed by 42 national member groups and approximately 1000 corporate and individual members. The fib’s mission is to develop at an international level the study of scientific and practical matters capable of advancing the technical, economic, aesthetic and environmental performance of concrete construction.

The knowledge developed and shared by the fib (fib Bulletins, fib events, fib workshops, fib courses, etc.) is entirely the result of the volunteer work provided by the fib members.

The fib was formed in 1998 by the merger of the Euro-International Committee for Concrete (the CEB) and the International Federation for Pre-stressing (the FIP). These predecessor organizations existed independently since 1953 and 1952, respectively.
