Abstract
This study aims to investigate the strengthening effect of GFRP bars on the capacity of RC slabs when subject to flexure loading. The objective is to show the effect of debonding failure on the capacity of the GFRP strengthened slabs relative to the different variables used. The variables used are the different bonding lengths, diameters, and numbers of GFRP bars in strengthening RC slabs. The work presents the details of the adopted experimental investigation and the results of the flexural tests performed on twelve slabs with the different variables. These results are adopted to validate the currently available design provisions of the ACI code of practice for using NSM GFRP to strengthen RC slabs.
期刊介绍:
The Electronic Journal of Structural Engineering (EJSE) is an international forum for the dissemination and discussion of leading edge research and practical applications in Structural Engineering. It comprises peer-reviewed technical papers, discussions and comments, and also news about conferences, workshops etc. in Structural Engineering. Original papers are invited from individuals involved in the field of structural engineering and construction. The areas of special interests include the following, but are not limited to: Analytical and design methods Bridges and High-rise Buildings Case studies and failure investigation Innovations in design and new technology New Construction Materials Performance of Structures Prefabrication Technology Repairs, Strengthening, and Maintenance Stability and Scaffolding Engineering Soil-structure interaction Standards and Codes of Practice Structural and solid mechanics Structural Safety and Reliability Testing Technologies Vibration, impact and structural dynamics Wind and earthquake engineering. EJSE is seeking original papers (research or state-of the art reviews) of the highest quality for consideration for publication. The papers will be published within 3 to 6 months. The papers are expected to make a significant contribution to the research and development activities of the academic and professional engineering community.
