Experimental quantification of punching shear capacity for large-scale GFRP-reinforced flat slabs made of synthetic fiber-reinforced self-compacting concrete dataset.

ABSTRACT: This article provides experimental data on the punching shear behavior of synthetic fiber-reinforced slabs reinforced with glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars and cast from self-consolidating concrete (SCC). The data was collected from tests performed on six full-scale specimens centrically loaded until failure as indicated by penetration of the column stub into the slab and achieving a sharp drop in the load carrying capacity. Three different reinforcement bar spacings were used to consider the effect of reinforcement ratio on punching shear resistance. Three of the specimens tested were reinforced by 1.25% of volume of synthetic fiber, and three were control specimens cast from regular SCC. Applied load, central deflections, and bar strain were monitored during the experiment and are provided in the supplementary data. Any future models for analyzing the punching shear behavior and capacity of flat slabs reinforced with GFRP rebars will find this data valuable for model validation, and for establishing suitable safety factors for design. Numerical studies on the simulation of fiber-reinforced concrete would also find value in this data to validate the numerical model and enable it to be used for further studies.

Fiber Reinforced Polymer Laminates for Strengthening of RC Slabs against Punching Shear: A Review.

Project description:Reinforced concrete flat slabs or flat plates continue to be among the most popular floor systems due to speed of construction and inherent flexibility it offers in relation to locations of partitions. However, flat slab/plate floor systems that are deficient in two-way shear strength are susceptible to brittle failure at a slab-column junction that may propagate and lead to progressive collapse of a larger segment of the structural system. Deficiency in two-way shear strength may be due to design/construction errors, material under-strength, or overload. Fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composite laminates in the form of sheets and/or strips are used in structurally deficient flat slab systems to enhance the two-way shear capacity, flexural strength, stiffness, and ductility. Glass FRP (GFRP) has been used successfully but carbon FRP (CFRP) sheets/strips/laminates are more commonly used as a practical alternative to other expensive and/or challenging methods such column enlargement. This article reviews the literature on the methodology and effectiveness of utilizing FRP sheets/strips and laminates at the column/slab intersection to enhance punching shear strength of flat slabs.

Shear Strength of Fiber Reinforced Recycled Aggregate Concrete.

Project description:In this paper, shear strength of fiber reinforced recycled concrete was investigated. A Self Consolidated Concrete (SCC) matrix with 100% coarse recycled aggregate and different types of fibers were used in the study. Steel (3D and 5D), synthetic and hybrid fibers with a volume fraction of 0.75% were added to the concrete matrix to prepare eight beams. In addition, two beams were cast without fibers as control specimens. All beams were prepared without shear reinforcement and were tested to evaluate concrete contribution to the shear capacity. In addition, optical images were captured to allow for full-field displacement measurements using Digital Image Correlation (DIC). The results showed about 23.44-64.48% improvement in the average concrete shear capacity for fiber-reinforced beams when compared to that of the control specimens. The percentage improvement was affected by fiber type and the steel fiber beams achieved the best performance. The addition of the fiber delayed the crack initiation and improved the post-cracking and ductile behavior of all beams. Moreover, the experimental results were compared to those predicted by codes and proposed equations found in the literature for concrete strength with and without fibers.

Database of Shear Experiments on Steel Fiber Reinforced Concrete Beams without Stirrups.

Project description:Adding steel fibers to concrete improves the capacity in tension-driven failure modes. An example is the shear capacity in steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC) beams with longitudinal reinforcement and without shear reinforcement. Since no mechanical models exist that can fully describe the behavior of SFRC beams without shear reinforcement failing in shear, a number of empirical equations have been suggested in the past. This paper compiles the existing empirical equations and code provisions for the prediction of the shear capacity of SFRC beams failing in shear as well as a database of 488 experiments reported in the literature. The experimental shear capacities from the database are then compared to the prediction equations. This comparison shows a large scatter on the ratio of experimental to predicted values. The practice of defining the tensile strength of SFRC based on different experiments internationally makes the comparison difficult. For design purposes, the code prediction methods based on the Eurocode shear expression provide reasonable results (with coefficients of variation on the ratio tested/predicted shear capacities of 27⁻29%). None of the currently available methods properly describe the behavior of SFRC beams failing in shear. As such, this work shows the need for studies that address the different shear-carrying mechanisms in SFRC and its crack kinematics.

Shaking Table Test of U-Shaped Walls Made of Fiber-Reinforced Foamed Concrete.

Project description:Fiber-reinforced foamed concrete (FRFC) is a lightweight material that has the potential to perform well in seismic applications due to its low density and improved mechanical properties. However, studies focused on the seismic assessment of this material are limited. In this work, U-shaped wall specimens, made of FRFC reinforced with henequen fibers and plain foamed concrete (PFC) with a density of 900 kg/m3, were subjected to shaking table tests. PFC and FRFC were characterized using compression and tension tests. FRFC exhibited enhanced mechanical properties, which were attributed to the fibers. The dynamic tests showed that U-shaped walls made of FRFC performed better than those made of PFC. The time period prior to the collapse of the FRFC U-shaped walls was longer than that of the PFC specimens, which was attributed to the enhanced specimen integrity by the fibers. Finite element simulations of the shaking table test allowed for the prediction of the stress concentration and plastic strain that may lead to the failure of the U-shaped wall. These results showed that U-shaped walls made of FRFC have the potential to perform well in seismic applications, however, these results are preliminary and further studies are needed to support the findings of this work.

Mechanical Properties of Chopped Basalt Fiber-Reinforced Lightweight Aggregate Concrete and Chopped Polyacrylonitrile Fiber Reinforced Lightweight Aggregate Concrete.

Project description:In this study, an experimental investigation was conducted on the mechanical properties of lightweight aggregate concrete (LWAC) with different chopped fibers, including basalt fiber (BF) and polyacrylonitrile fiber (PANF). The LWAC performance was studied in regard to compressive strength, splitting tensile strength and shear strength at age of 28 days. In addition, the oven-dried density and water absorption were measured as well to confirm whether the specimens match the requirement of standard. In total, seven different mixture groups were designed and approximately 104 LWAC samples were tested. The test results showed that the oven-dried densities of the LWAC mixtures were in range of 1.819-1.844 t/m3 which satisfied the definition of LWAC by Chinese Standard. Additionally, water absorption decreased with the increasing of fiber content. The development tendency of the specific strength of LWAC was the same as that of the cube compressive strength. The addition of fibers had a significant effect on reducing water absorption. Adding BF and PANF into concrete had a relatively slight impact on the compressive strength but had an obvious effect on splitting tensile strength, flexural strength and shear strength enhancement, respectively. In that regard, a 1.5% fiber volume fraction of BF and PANF showed the maximum increase in strength. The use of BF and PANF could change the failure morphologies of splitting tensile and flexural destruction but almost had slight impact on the shear failure morphology. The strength enhancement parameter ? was proposed to quantify the improvement effect of fibers on cube compressive strength, splitting tensile strength, flexural strength and shear strength, respectively. And the calculation results showed good agreement with test value.

Evaluation of Shear Capacity of Steel Fiber Reinforced Concrete Beams without Stirrups Using Artificial Intelligence Models.

Project description:The shear transfer mechanism of steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC) beams without stirrups is still not well understood. This is demonstrated herein by examining the accuracy of typical empirical formulas for 488 SFRC beam test records compiled from the literature. To steer clear of these cognitive limitations, this study turned to artificial intelligence (AI) models. A gray relational analysis (GRA) was first conducted to evaluate the importance of different parameters for the problem at hand. The outcomes indicate that the shear capacity depends heavily on the material properties of concrete, the amount of longitudinal reinforcement, the attributes of steel fibers, and the geometrical and loading characteristics of SFRC beams. After this, AI models, including back-propagation artificial neural network, random forest and multi-gene genetic programming, were developed to capture the shear strength of SFRC beams without stirrups. The findings unequivocally show that the AI models predict the shear strength more accurately than do the empirical formulas. A parametric analysis was performed using the established AI model to investigate the effects of the main influential factors (determined by GRA) on the shear capacity. Overall, this paper provides an accurate, instantaneous and meaningful approach for evaluating the shear capacity of SFRC beams containing no stirrups.

Improved Shear Strength Prediction Model of Steel Fiber Reinforced Concrete Beams by Adopting Gene Expression Programming.

Project description:In this study, an artificial intelligence tool called gene expression programming (GEP) has been successfully applied to develop an empirical model that can predict the shear strength of steel fiber reinforced concrete beams. The proposed genetic model incorporates all the influencing parameters such as the geometric properties of the beam, the concrete compressive strength, the shear span-to-depth ratio, and the mechanical and material properties of steel fiber. Existing empirical models ignore the tensile strength of steel fibers, which exercise a strong influence on the crack propagation of concrete matrix, thereby affecting the beam shear strength. To overcome this limitation, an improved and robust empirical model is proposed herein that incorporates the fiber tensile strength along with the other influencing factors. For this purpose, an extensive experimental database subjected to four-point loading is constructed comprising results of 488 tests drawn from the literature. The data are divided based on different shapes (hooked or straight fiber) and the tensile strength of steel fiber. The empirical model is developed using this experimental database and statistically compared with previously established empirical equations. This comparison indicates that the proposed model shows significant improvement in predicting the shear strength of steel fiber reinforced concrete beams, thus substantiating the important role of fiber tensile strength.

Flexural and Shear Tests on Reinforced Concrete Bridge Deck Slab Segments with a Textile-Reinforced Concrete Strengthening Layer.

Project description:Many older bridges feature capacity deficiencies. This is mainly due to changes in code provisions which came along with stricter design rules and increasing traffic, leading to higher loads on the structure. To address capacity deficiencies of bridges, refined structural analyses with more detailed design approaches can be applied. If bridge assessment does not provide sufficient capacity, strengthening can be a pertinent solution to extend the bridge's service lifetime. For numerous cases, applying an extra layer of textile-reinforced concrete (TRC) can be a convenient method to achieve the required resistance. Here, carbon fibre-reinforced polymer reinforcement together with a high-performance mortar was used within the scope of developing a strengthening layer for bridge deck slabs, called SMART-DECK. Due to the high tensile strength of the carbon and its resistance to corrosion, a thin layer with high strength and low additional dead load can be realised. While the strengthening effect of TRC for slabs under flexural loading has already been investigated several times, the presented test programme also covered increase in shear capacity, which is the other crucial failure mode to be considered in design. A total of 14 large-scale tests on TRC-strengthened slab segments were tested under static and cyclic loading. The experimental study revealed high increases in capacity for both bending and shear failure.

Composite Behavior of a Novel Insulated Concrete Sandwich Wall Panel Reinforced with GFRP Shear Grids: Effects of Insulation Types.

Project description:A full-scale experimental program was used in this study to investigate the structural behavior of novel insulated concrete sandwich wall panels (SWPs) reinforced with grid-type glass-fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) shear connectors. Two kinds of insulation-expanded polystyrene (EPS) and extruded polystyrene (XPS) with 100 mm thickness were incased between the two concrete wythes to meet the increasing demand for the insulation performance of building envelope. One to four GFRP shear grids were used to examine the degree of composite action of the two concrete wythes. Ten specimens of SWPs were tested under displacement control subjected to four-point concentrated loads. The test results showed that the SWPs reinforced with GFRP grids as shear connectors developed a high degree of composite action resulting in high flexural strength. The specimens with EPS foam exhibited an enhanced load-displacement behavior compared with the specimens with XPS because of the relatively stronger bond between insulation and concrete. In addition, the ultimate strength of the test results was compared to the analytical prediction with the mechanical properties of only GRFP grids. The specimens with EPS insulation presented higher strength-based composite action than the ones with XPS insulation.

Shear Behavior Models of Steel Fiber Reinforced Concrete Beams Modifying Softened Truss Model Approaches.

Project description:Recognizing that steel fibers can supplement the brittle tensile characteristics of concrete, many studies have been conducted on the shear performance of steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC) members. However, previous studies were mostly focused on the shear strength and proposed empirical shear strength equations based on their experimental results. Thus, this study attempts to estimate the strains and stresses in steel fibers by considering the detailed characteristics of steel fibers in SFRC members, from which more accurate estimation on the shear behavior and strength of SFRC members is possible, and the failure mode of steel fibers can be also identified. Four shear behavior models for SFRC members have been proposed, which have been modified from the softened truss models for reinforced concrete members, and they can estimate the contribution of steel fibers to the total shear strength of the SFRC member. The performances of all the models proposed in this study were also evaluated by a large number of test results. The contribution of steel fibers to the shear strength varied from 5% to 50% according to their amount, and the most optimized volume fraction of steel fibers was estimated as 1%-1.5%, in terms of shear performance.
