Abstract:
Based on theory analysis and a series of model tests, the relationships between fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) strain and the deflection/loading were discussed, and the FRP debonding strain was also analyzed. The results show that FRP strain is linear to the deflection of RC beam, and the FRP length and the crack of concrete or the failure of reinforcement have no obvious influence on this rule. FRP can reduce the ultimate deflection of RC beam, while the ductility of RC beam strengthened with FRP declines. The load-bearing capacity of the RC beam is increased by FRP with large amplitude of 32% in this test, and at the yield point of steel reinforcement, the increase of the load-bearing capacity is about 64% of the total increment. FRP ultimate debonding strain is about 8.117×10-3. When FRP debonding, the deflection of RC beam is 1.01×10-3 L-3/h (L is the span of RC beam, h is the height of RC beam). The spans of the service bridges are larger while the allowable deflections are smaller, so FRP strain is smaller. As a result, the high strength performance of FRP can not be fully exerted.
