It is generally reported that most of RC beams strengthened with simply bonded FRP composite is failed by FRP debonding. Also, the flexural performance of RC member strengthened with FRP composite can be calculated using the effective strain of FRP. The effective strain as a result of the debonding failure depends on many variables, such as FRP stiffness including the thickness($t_f$) and modulus of elasticity($E_f$), the amount of FRP but the FRP stiffness is reportedly the most influential. The purpose of this paper, therefore, is to examine effects of FRP stiffness on the flexural strengthening of RC beams. 4 different stiffness of CFRP composite including CFRP sheet and laminae were selected. From the tests, it was found that the flexural performance of RC beams strengthened with CFRP composite can be calculated based on the effective strain of the CFRP composite and the effective strain is inversely proportional to the CFRP stiffness.

Conventional reinforced concrete design codes assume ideal strain evolution in semi-deep beams with externally bonded fiber-reinforced polymer (EB-FRP) web strips. However, there is a strain interaction between internal stirrups and web strips, leading to a notable difference between code-based and experimental shear strengths. Current study provides an experiment-verified detailed numerical framework to assess the potential strain interaction under quasi-static monotonic load. Based on the observations, steel stirrups are effective only for low EB-FRP amounts and the over-strengthening of semi-deep beams prevents the stirrups from yielding, reducing its shear strength contribution. A notable difference is detected between the code-based and the study-based EB-FRP strain values, which is a function of the normalized FRP stress parameter. Semi-analytical relations are proposed to estimate the effective strain and stress of the components considering the potential strain interaction. For the sake of simplification, a linearized correction factor is proposed for the EB-FRP web strip strain, assuming its restraining effect as constant for all steel stirrup amounts.

A number of studies have been conducted on FRP shear strengthening of RC beams during the past decade. The test results indicated. that the strengthened specimens failed predominantly by debonding of the FRP sheets before reaching the rupture strength of FRP sheets. For this reason, limits on the effective strain in FRP have been incorporated in ACI 440.2R recommendation considering debonding failure. This paper presents the test results of 7 small scale RC beams shear-strengthened with glass fiber sheets. Three types of FRP configurations, such as two sides bonded, U wrap and fiber shear-key embedded, were considered. GFRP sheet were bonded vertically to member axis along the shear span. From the test results, it was found that debonding strain of GFRP sheets at failure decreased with the number of layers. In addition, effective strain of FRP proposed by ACI 440.2R recommendation has been verified in this study.

An experimental study has been carried out on square plain concrete (PC) and reinforced concrete (RC) columns strengthened with carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) sheets. A total of 78 specimens were loaded to failure in axial compression and investigated in both axial and transverse directions. Slenderness of the columns, number of wrap layers and concrete strength were the test parameters. Compressive stress, axial and hoop strains were recorded to evaluate the stress-strain relationship, ultimate strength and ductility of the specimens. Results clearly demonstrate that composite wrapping can enhance the structural performance of square columns in terms of both maximum strength and ductility. On the basis of the effective lateral confining pressure of composite jacket and the effective FRP strain coefficient, new peak stress equations were proposed to predict the axial strength and corresponding strain of FRP-confined square concrete columns. This model incorporates the effect of the effective circumferential FRP failure strain and the effect of the effective lateral confining pressure. The results show that the predictions of the model agree well with the test data.

Fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) jackets have been widely used as an effective tool for the strengthening and rehabilitation of concrete structures, especially damaged concrete columns. Therefore, a clear understanding of the compressive behavior of FRP-confined concrete is essential. The objective of this paper is to develop a simple efficient method for predicting the compressive strength, the axial strain at the peak stress, and the stress-strain relationship of FRP-confined concrete. In this method, a compressive strength model is established based on Jefferson's failure surface. With the proposed strength model, the strength of FRP-confined concrete can be estimated more precisely. The axial strain at the peak stress is then evaluated using a damage-based formula. Finally, a modified stress-strain relationship is derived based on Lam and Teng's model. The validity of the proposed compressive strength and strain models and the modified stress-strain relationship is verified with a wide range of experimental results collected from the research literature and obtained from the self-conducted test. It can be concluded that, as a competitive alternative, the proposed method can be used to predict the compressive behavior of FRP-confined concrete with reasonable accuracy.

The compressive behavior up to failure of short concrete members reinforced with fiber reinforced plastic (FRP) is investigated. Rectangular cross-sections are analysed by means of a simplified elastic model, able also to explain stress-concentration. The model allows one to evaluate the equivalent uniform confining pressure in ultimate conditions referred to the effective confined cross-section and to the effective stresses in FRP along the sides of section; consequently, it makes it possible to determine ultimate strain and the related bearing capacity of the confined member corresponding to FRP failure. The effect of local reinforcements constitute by single strips applied at corners before the continuous wrapping and the effect of round corners are also considered. Analytical results are compared to experimental values available in the literature.

In the shear strengthening with FRP sheets, beams are wrapped around the webs and tension face of critical shear span by fiber sheets. The shear strength of RC beam strengthened with FRP sheets must be calculated based on the effective strain that can be developed in the FRP sheets at ultimate stage because the final failure modes of beams are governed by premature debonding of FRP sheet due to the limitation of bonded length by beam depth. An experimental study is carried out to evaluate the shear strengthening effect of AFRP or GFRP sheets with respect to shear reinforcement ratio of rebar. From the test results, it was found that the additional shear strength provided by GFRP or AFRP can be estimated by $p_w{\cdot}f_w$ based on the maximum effective strain of FRP sheet $4,000m{\mu}$ proposed by ACI 440 committee.

콘크리트 공시체의 압축강도와 연성성능을 향상시키기 위하여 FRP 와이어의 적용을 실험적으로 연구하였다. 와이어 보강겹수와 콘크리트 압축강도의 변화가 고려된 와이어 보강 공시체의 압축실험을 실시하였다. FRP 와이어 보강 공시체 압축실험에서 측정된 축방향변형률, 원주방향변형률, 체적변형률에 의한 와이어 내부 콘크리트의 손상상태를 분석하여 와이어 보강효과를 평가하였다. FRP 와이어 보강 공시체의 응력-변형률 선도는 두 개의 직선구간과 변환구간으로 구성된 것으로 측정되었으며, 균열이후구간에서 응력상승거동하였다. 와이어 보강 공시체의 균열강도와 최대강도는 와이어 보강겹수에 비례하여 증가하는 것으로 평가되었다. 와이어가 3겹 보강된 35 MPa 공시체의 최대강도는 무보강 공시체의 압축강도보다 286% 높게 측정되었다. FRP 와이어 보강 공시체의 내부 콘크리트 파괴형태는 i) 수직균열 또는 경사균열파괴; ii) 수평균열파괴로 구분되었다. 특히, 수평균열파괴는 와이어에 의한 구속약화로 인하여 갑자기 내부 콘크리트가 팽창하는 부분과 와이어가 아직 내부 콘크리트를 효과적으로 구속하는 부분의 전단효과로 발생하였으며, 수평균열은 공시체의 중앙부를 기준으로 여러 면으로 발생하였으며, 와이어에 의한 구속효과가 우수한 공시체에 발생하였다. FRP 와이어 보강 공시체 압축실험에서 와이어 최대파단변형률에 대한 인장파단변형률의 비가 55-90%로 측정되었으며, 평균 69.5%로 나타났다. 이는 일반 FRP 시트 보강 공시체 실험에서 측정된 시트 파단변형률보다 다소 높은 값으로 FRP 와이어 보강 공법의 우수성을 입증한다.

최근에 노후화된 콘크리트 구조물의 보수 보강 방법으로 FRP를 이용한 보강이 효과적인 것으로 알려지고 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 FRP로 보강된 콘크리트 실린더의 거동을 실험적으로 조사하고자 하는 것이다. 실험 변수로는 콘크리트의 압축강도, FRP재료의 종류 및 구속비이다. 본 연구에서 아라미드, 탄소 및 유리섬유로 보강된 콘크리트의 성능을 압축강도 실험을 통한 연구 결과를 보이고 있다. 이를 위해 축방향 하중, 축방향 및 횡방향 변형률을 측정하였다. 본 연구를 통하여 콘크리트의 강도와 횡방향 변형률과 횡방향 구속응력의 비로 정의되는 구속비가 구속 콘크리트의 응력-변형률을 결정하는 주요 인자인 것으로 나타났다. FRP로 더 많은 보강을 한 실험체는 우수한 구속력으로 인한 강도의 증가를 야기하였다. 고강도 콘크리트의 경우 FRP에 의한 보강으로 구속력의 증가이 증가되더라도 실험체의 압축변형률이 감소하여 취성파괴의 경향을 보였다. 구속된 콘크리트의 파괴는 FRP 재료의 극한 변형률 보다 낮은 변형률에서 FRP의 파단으로 시작되어 콘크리트의 파괴에 도달하였다.
