In the present study, a new method for retrofitting reinforced concrete beam is introduced in which steel-concrete composite jackets containing steel fiber is used. For this purpose, 75% of the peripheral surface of reinforced concrete beams was initially reinforced using steel plates and bolts, and steel fiber reinforced concrete was used between the steel plates and the peripheral surfaces of...

Reinforced concrete structures consists of two main components and the behavior of these structures influenced by gender and material properties, in order to investigate the behavior of concrete reinforced beam that most important flexural element in reinforced concrete structures, we chosen High Strength Concrete (HSC) for concrete and GFRP and steel bars for reinforcement. For compare the new...

Abstract: A new reinforced SFRFLC (abbr. steel fiber reinforced full-lightweight concrete) superposed beam was proposed to sufficiently utilize the good peculiarities of ordinary concrete in compression and SFRFLC in tension, and reduce its self-weight. Experimental study was carried out on the flexural behaviors of reinforced SFRFLC superposed beams compared with reinforced concrete beams and ...

steel corrosion of bars in concrete structures is a complex process which leads to the reduction of the cross-section bars and decreasing the resistance of the concrete and steel materials. in this study, reliability analysis of a reinforced concrete beam with corrosion defects under the distributed load was investigated using the enhanced hasofer-lind and rackwitz-fiessler (ehl-rf) method base...

As an economic and safe structure, Bi-steel is widely used in reinforced concrete with less consumption of steel. In this paper, III Bi-steel concrete beam has been analyzed. Through careful observation and theoretical analysis, the new calculating formulae for structural rigidity and crack have been formulated for this Bi-steel concrete beam. And structural rigidity and the crack features have...

concrete beams reinforced with glass fiber reinforced polymer (gfrp) bars exhibit large deflections and crack widths as compared with steel reinforced concrete beams due to the low modulus of elasticity of gfrp bars. different studies show that aci 318 equation for the effective moment of inertia ie does not predict deflection well for frp reinforced concrete beams. the purpose of this paper is...

In the present work, behavior of inoxydable steel as reinforcement bar in composite concrete is being investigated. The bar-concrete adherence in reinforced concrete (RC) beam is studied and focus is made on the tension stiffening parameter. This study highlighted an approach to observe this interaction behavior in bending test instead of direct tension as per reported in many references. The a...

this study evaluates two different types of techniques for concrete hollow-block sections reinforced with traditional steel rebars and wire meshes, and compares their structural behaviour to that of an ordinary reinforced concrete beam section. the comparisons are based on the responses both before and after they were repaired with glass fibre reinforced polymers (gfrp). the specimens were subj...

An analysis was carried out to determine whether concrete is a sustainable housing material. Sustainability generally means having no net negative impact on the environment, and this analysis compared the environmental impact of producing concrete and steel. To make this comparison, we first designed a simple reinforced concrete beam and a steel I-beam with the same moment capacity, and we then...
