EXPERIMANTAL INVESTIGATION of CONCRETE BEAMS REINFORCED WITH HYBRID BFRP/STEEL BARS
Session
Architecture and Spatial Planning
Description
An experimental investigation of the hybrid reinforcement application on concrete beams, which are reinforced with Basalt FRP (Fiber Reinforced Polymer) and steel bars as longitudinal reinforcement, is presented in this study. By using the centric loading method, the behavior of produced hybrid reinforced concrete beams with GFRP/steel bars was observed and analyzed.
All tested models were created with rectangular cross section with the width of 200mm and the depth of 300mm. The beams are simple supported and have a span of 2800mm.
The main objective of this research is to investigate and to analyze the flexural behavior of concrete beams reinforced with BFRP bars. Also, the parameters as the type of material, the amount and the configuration of the rebars as longitudinal reinforcement were investigated as well.
Keywords:
Experimental approach, Simple supported beams, Hybrid Reinforcement, BFRP Bars, Ductility, Flexural behavior.
