on the machining of fiber Reinforced Plastic frp composite laminates
International Journal of Machine Tools & Manufacture, 1995Co-Authors: Naresh Hatnaga, N Ramakrishna, N K Naik, R KomanduriAbstract:Abstract With the increasing use of fiber Reinforced Plastic (FRP) composites outside the defense, space and aerospace industries, namely, civilian industries, machining of these materials is assuming a significant role. Unit cost rather than solely performance at any cost will be the consideration for the implementation of FRP composites to consumer industries. The current knowledge of machining FRP composites, unfortunately, is inadequate for its optimum utilization in many applications. This paper presents some observations made on the orthogonal machining of unidirectional carbon fiber Reinforced Plastic (UD-CFRP) laminates with different fiber orientations. Iosipescu shear test was adopted to evaluate the inplane shear strength of varied fiber angle test specimens. A model for predicting the cutting forces and the dependence of cutting direction on machinability requirements is presented.

Cracking behaviour of concrete beams Reinforced with fiber Reinforced Plastic rebars
Canadian Journal of Civil Engineering, 1996Co-Authors: Radhouane Masmoudi, Brahim Benmokrane, Omar ChaallalAbstract:This paper presents the results of an experimental investigation on the cracking behaviour of concrete beams Reinforced with fiber Reinforced Plastic rebars. The effects of reinforcement ratio on the cracking pattern, crack spacing, cracking moment, and crack width are investigated. The test results indicate that the reinforcement ratio has no meaningful effect on the cracking moment, which can be calculated as recommended by the ACI code. Also, the use of the equations adopted by ACI and the European codes for the prediction of crack width of conventionally Reinforced concrete members is investigated and due modifications are made. Both relationships show good correlation with the test results; and the prediction of crack width of concrete beams Reinforced with these two types of fiber Reinforced Plastic rebars is now possible. Key words: beam, cracking behaviour, cracking moment, crack width, fiber Reinforced Plastic, flexure, rebars, Reinforced concrete, reinforcement ratio.

Glass fibre Reinforced Plastic (GFRP) rebars for concrete structures
Construction and Building Materials, 1995Co-Authors: Brahim Benmokrane, Omar Chaallal, Radhouane MasmoudiAbstract:Abstract The study described is a part of a large-scale experimental and theoretical programme on the application of fibre Reinforced Plastic ( frp ) reinforcement for concrete structures initiated at the Universite de Sherbrooke (Sherbrooke, Canada). The programme is being carried out to gain an insight into the flexural behaviour of concrete beams Reinforced with glass fibre Reinforced Plastic ( gfrp ) rebars. Results of experimental study on 3.3 m long beams Reinforced with two different types of gfrp rebars are presented and compared to that of conventional steel Reinforced concrete beams. Three series of Reinforced concrete beams were tested in flexure. The beams were 200 mm wide and respectively 300, 450 and 550 mm high. The paper also attempts to present the properties of gfrp and its components and to give an oversight of relevant research activities involving gfrp rebars as reinforcement for concrete units.
