  • Behaviour of concrete confined by high E-modulus carbon FRP sheets, subjected to monotonic and cyclic Axial Compressive Load
    2004
    Co-Authors: Ralejs Tepfers, Theodoros C. Rousakis
    Abstract:

    AbstractA systematic investigation is performed on the mechanical behavior of concrete cylinders (with Compressive cylinder strength 25.2 MPa and 51.8 MPa), confined by high E-modulus carbon fiber sheet (377 GPa). The concrete cylinders were wrapped with 1, 2, 3 and 5 layers of carbon FRP (fiber reinforced polymer) sheet and subjected to monotonic and cyclic Axial Compressive Loading. Teflon sheets were used between concrete and steel Loading plates to reduce friction. Pretests were made to estimate the proper overlap length of the external layer. The confining effect is addressed in terms of concrete strength, ductility and expansion. Considerable increase in levels of strength and strain at failure were achieved even for high strength concrete for monotonic and cyclic mode of Loading.

  • concrete cylinders confined by carbon frp sheets subjected to monotonic and cyclic Axial Compressive Load
    6th International Symposium on Fibre Reinforced Polymer (FRP) Reinforcement for Concrete Structures (FRPRCS-6) 8-10 July 2003 Singapore., 2003
    Co-Authors: Ralejs Tepfers, Theodoros C. Rousakis, Chisang You, L De Lorenzis, V Tamužs
    Abstract:

    During last decades, most RD 60.5; 76.2; 81.4 and 104.1MPa, that cover nearly the whole range in practice, were investigated. The parameters taken under consideration for the confinement were the number of layers (CFRP reinforcement ratio ranging from 0.31% to 0.94 %) for wrapping with carbon sheet with tensile strength 4500 MPa and modulus 234GPa. The friction between steel Loading plates and concrete surface was reduced by three layers of teflon sheet. The specimens were fully instrumented and apart from Load, Axial and lateral strains were measured, with LVDTs and strain gauges. The enhancement in strength and ductility of confined concrete was remarkable. The confined concrete displayed a distinct bilinear stress-strain response with transition zone around the ultimate strength of unconfined concrete. Maximum strength increase by the confinement was measured to be over 300% for specimen of 34.2MPa concrete. It is evident that as the CFRP layer number increases, the strength and ductility in the Axial direction are both improved. The slope of the branches after transition zone and confining pressure are depended on the volumetric ratio of the confining device. For higher concrete strength, the ultimate strength increase due to confinement was lower, which indicates that the confining pressure exerted by the composite material on the concrete surface, as a restriction of the lateral expansion of concrete, was not so effective for the high strength concrete, showing more brittle behavior. Cyclic Load caused no degradation in confining action. On the contrary sometimes caused improvement, which could be due to the fact that the confinement imposed lateral strain by its interaction with the concrete during unLoad stage too. So in the next Loading cycle the internal concrete cracks were uniformly developed in concrete mass and the Load distribution was better. Stress-strain relationships of the monotonic Load act like an envelope of that of cyclic Load since they have similar Loading paths. The confined concrete cylinders failed by fracture of the FRP confinement having lower lateral strain than the uniAxial ultimate tensile strain given by producer. CFRP ring test (ASTM standard D2290) reveal the real ultimate tensile strain of confinement, which only slightly exceeds the ultimate lateral strain. For the satisfactory prediction of strength, the stress analysis of crack growth inside concrete after transition zone should be accompanied by the analysis of confinement and its interaction with the damaged concrete.

  • Buckling optimization of laminated cylindrical panels subjected to Axial Compressive Load
    Composite Structures, 2007
    Co-Authors: Jiing Sen Yang
    Abstract:

    The buckling resistance of fiber-reinforced laminated cylindrical panels with a given material system and subjected to uniAxial Compressive force is maximized with respect to fiber orientations by using a sequential linear programming method together with a simple move-limit strategy. The significant influences of panel thicknesses, curvatures, aspect ratios, cutouts and end conditions on the optimal fiber orientations and the associated optimal buckling Loads of laminated cylindrical panels have been shown through this investigation.
