Abstract
The aim of this study is to evaluate the axial compressive behavior of concrete columns strengthened with basalt fiber-reinforced polymer (BFRP) grids. A total of 27 concrete cylinders were tested, including 18 strengthened specimens and 9 control specimens. The study parameters included specimen size and grids quantity, and comparisons were made with specimens strengthened using BFRP sheets. The results indicate that the control specimens exhibited brittle failure, while the strengthened specimens demonstrated ductile failure, with significantly improved compressive carrying capacity and deformation ability. The strength effectiveness of the grids gradually weakened as the specimen size increased. When the number of grids layers was less than two, the strength effect significantly improved with an increase in grids quantity. However, when the number of grids layers exceeded two, delamination between the grids and concrete occurred, and the strength effect became less significant. Compared to BFRP sheets, BFRP grids demonstrated higher strength efficiency. Several existing theoretical models were utilized to predict the peak stress of BFRP grid-strengthened concrete, and the predicted results agreed well with the experimental results.
期刊介绍:
Construction and Building Materials offers an international platform for sharing innovative and original research and development in the realm of construction and building materials, along with their practical applications in new projects and repair practices. The journal publishes a diverse array of pioneering research and application papers, detailing laboratory investigations and, to a limited extent, numerical analyses or reports on full-scale projects. Multi-part papers are discouraged.
Additionally, Construction and Building Materials features comprehensive case studies and insightful review articles that contribute to new insights in the field. Our focus is on papers related to construction materials, excluding those on structural engineering, geotechnics, and unbound highway layers. Covered materials and technologies encompass cement, concrete reinforcement, bricks and mortars, additives, corrosion technology, ceramics, timber, steel, polymers, glass fibers, recycled materials, bamboo, rammed earth, non-conventional building materials, bituminous materials, and applications in railway materials.
