EXTERNAL REINFORCEMENT OF CONCRETE STRUCTURES USING COMPOSITE MATERIALS

The paper describes the main directions of non-metallic composite application in concrete reinforcement. The development routes of the structural analysis with composite reinforcement are formulated. The reinforced concrete structure combines the elastic reinforcement element with an adhesive composition having inelastic properties. It is shown that the structural reliability is ensured by adhesion of composite core reinforcement to the concrete. When performing external reinforcement of composite materials, it is necessary to ensure the joint operation of reinforcing elements and the main structure. Today, design methods of concrete structure reinforcement with composite materials do not take into account shear strains in the contact seam. Adhesion of composite material to concrete is indirectly assessed by introducing the service factor of composite material when its design resistance is assigned.

 Experimental studies concern concrete structures  reinforced by bent elements with external reinforcement made of various composite materials. Reinforced concrete beams with A500 and A600 class reinforcement are considered. Test beams are reinforced with fiberglass, coal and carbonates canvases. Some of test beams have U-shaped anchors at the ends and are made of composite materials. Reinforced beams fracture by different schemes: composite peeling due to the adhesive destruction in the area of formation of normal and inclined cracks, composite
peeling with the destruction of protective layer, composite rupture. A part of reinforced concrete beams before the reinforcement are cracked in the stretched zone. Cracks do not affect the load-bearing capacity of reinforced beams.
