Abstract:
The bonding of thin fiber-reinforced plastics (FRP) composites on the surface of concrete members has emerged as an effective method to increase both the strength and stiffness of concrete members. Although a large volume of experimental and numerical research has performed on existing concrete structures to increase their load carrying capacity, there appears to be less work reported on simulating the influence of temperature on the behavior of concrete structures. This study intends to examine the effects of changing temperature on the mechanical properties of FRP composites as well as deteriorated composites on the structural performance of FRP bonded concrete structures. The overall approach consists of computations using finite element models to simulate the structural behavior of FRP bonded beams and columns. Three-dimensional-extended finite element modeling X-FEM using ABAQUS-CAE v.6.13 program was performed to explore the influence of temperature of (25 °C, 100 °C and 180 °C) on failure loads of FRP strengthened beams and columns with adhesive material. Additionally, the cohesive traction-separation damage model was use to model the delamination of FRP from the concrete. The flexural strength, mid-span deflection, crack patterns, failure loads, and mode of failure for the tested models were compared with the previous experimental study. The results show that a FEM results were in good agreement with experimental results. The flexural strength decreases with temperature rise for FRP strengthened concrete beams. The high temperature 180 °C has an adverse influence on the compressive strength of the specimens. The way of FRP rupture in the simulation was similar to the mode that was observed during the experimental tests. © 2020 by the authors.
