Testing Procedure for Fatigue Characterization of Steel-CFRP Hybrid Laminate Considering Material Dependent Self-Heating

Steel–CFRP Composite (CFRP Laminate Sandwiched between Mild Steel Strips) and It-s Behavior as Stirrup in Beams

In this present study, experimental work was conducted to study the effectiveness of newly innovated steel-CFRP composite (CFRP laminates sandwiched between two steel strips) as stirrups. A total numbers of eight concrete beams were tested under four point loads. Each beam measured 1600 mm long, 160mm width and 240 mm depth. The beams were reinforced with different shear reinforcements; one wit...

Effect of Impact Load on the Bond between Steel and CFRP Laminate

Carbon fiber reinforced polymers strengthen steel structural elements. These structural elements are normally subjected to static, dynamic and fatigue loadings during their life-time. CFRP laminate is commonly used structures under the subjected loads. A number of focused on the characteristics of CFRP sheets members under static, dynamic and fatigue loadings. is a gap in understanding the bond...

Influence of Testing and Material Factors on the Fatigue Strength of Valve Steel

Fatigue and Overloading Behavior of Steel-Concrete Composite Flexural Members Strengthened with High Modulus CFRP Materials

Due to corrosion and the continuous demand to increase traffic loads, there is a need for an effective system which can be used to repair and/or strengthen steel bridges and structures. This paper describes an experimental program, recently completed, to investigate the fundamental behavior of steel-concrete composite scaled bridge beams strengthened with new high modulus carbon fiber reinforce...

Experimental and numerical analysis of end anchored steel plate and CFRP laminate flexurally strengthened reinforced concrete (r. c.) beams

End anchors have been shown to significantly reduce premature plate end debonding failure of plate bonded strengthened reinforced concrete (r. c.) beams. One of the main interest in designing end anchors is to determine the minimum or optimal length of end anchors for a given thickness and height of the end anchor. This paper presents experimental and numerical studies in determining those opti...
