Investigation of Glass Fibre Reinforced Polymer Reinforcing Bars as Internal Reinforcement for Concrete StructuresJohnson, David Tse Chuen 12 February 2010 (has links)
A study of the existing data shows that two areas of GFRP bar research among others are in need of investigation, the first being behaviour of GFRP bars at cold temperatures and the second being the behaviour of large diameter GFRP rods. Based on the results of experimental work performed, cold temperatures were found to have minimal effect on the mechanical properties of the GFRP bars tested. In addition, through beam testing, large 32mm diameter GFRP bars were found to not fail prematurely due to interlaminar shear failure. By evaluating the mechanical and durability properties of GFRP bars and behaviour of GFRP RC, it can be concluded that GFRP appears to be an adequate alternative reinforcement for concrete structures. Because of high strength, low stiffness and elastic behaviour of GFRP bars, issues of significant importance for reinforced concrete are bond development, influence of shear on member behaviour and member deformability.

BEHAVIOUR OF FIBRE REINFORCED POLYMER CONFINED REINFORCED CONCRETE COLUMNS UNDER FIRE CONDITIONCHOWDHURY, ERSHAD 17 December 2009 (has links)
In recent years, fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) materials have demonstrated enormous
potential as materials for repairing and retrofitting concrete bridges that have deteriorated from factors such as electro-chemical corrosion and increased load requirements. However, concerns associated with fire remain an obstacle to applications of FRP materials in buildings and parking
garages due to FRP’s sensitivity to high temperatures as compared with other structural materials
and to limited knowledge on their thermal and mechanical behaviour in fire. This thesis presents
results from an ongoing study on the fire performance of FRP materials, fire insulation materials
and systems, and FRP wrapped reinforced concrete columns. The overall goal of the study is to
understand the fire behaviour of FRP materials and FRP strengthened concrete columns and
ultimately, provide rational fire safety design recommendations and guidelines for FRP
strengthened concrete columns.
A combined experimental and numerical investigation was conducted to achieve the
goals of this research study. The experimental work consisted of both small-scale FRP material
testing at elevated temperatures and full-scale fire tests on FRP strengthened columns. A
numerical model was developed to simulate the behaviour of unwrapped reinforced concrete and
FRP strengthened reinforced concrete square or rectangular columns in fire. After validating the
numerical model against test data available in literature, it was determined that the numerical
model can be used to analyze the behaviour of concrete axial compressive members in fire.
Results from this study also demonstrated that although FRP materials experience considerable
loss of their mechanical and bond properties at temperatures somewhat below the glass transition
temperature of the resin matrix, externally-bonded FRP can be used in strengthening concrete
structural members in buildings, if appropriate supplemental fire protection system is provided
over the FRP strengthening system. / Thesis (Ph.D, Civil Engineering) -- Queen's University, 2009-12-17 14:11:27.931

THE EFFECTS OF FIRE ON INSULATED REINFORCED CONCRETE MEMBERS STRENGTHENED WITH FIBRE REINFORCED POLYMERSHollingshead, Kevin 02 June 2012 (has links)
Given the current global crisis of deteriorating infrastructure, structural rehabilitation has been the focus of much recent research in the field of civil engineering. Consequently, Fibre Reinforced Polymers (FRP’s) are becoming an increasingly common method for retrofitting deficient structures. However, skepticism regarding the structural performance of FRP’s during fire is preventing their widespread implementation in building applications. Because of the degradation of FRP material properties during heating, most current design codes completely neglect their structural contributions in fire design. The intention of this research thesis is to investigate the thermal and mechanical behaviour of insulated FRP retrofitted reinforced concrete structures at elevated temperatures.
Two intermediate-scale reinforced concrete slabs were first strengthened with FRP and protected with spray-on insulation. Thermal results from fire testing of the slabs provided a basis on which to develop insulation schemes for larger specimens. These larger specimens consisted of two full-scale T-Beams and two full-scale columns, which were also strengthened with FRP and insulated. All of these specimens succeeded in obtaining four hour fire ratings upon fire testing. Though the FRP strengthening systems were compromised quickly during heating, the insulation provided sufficient protection to the T-beams and columns for them to resist the applied service loads throughout the duration of fire exposure. Detailed calculations were also conducted using thermal data from the full-scale specimen fire tests in order to predict the change in capacity of these structures with time. This thesis shows that, with careful considerations towards insulation and anchorage design, FRP-strengthened reinforced concrete structures are able to obtain fire ratings in excess of four hours. / Thesis (Master, Civil Engineering) -- Queen's University, 2012-05-29 15:46:00.801
