This paper presents a new concept for an FRP-Concrete composite floor system. The system consists of a moulded glass fibre reinforced polymer (GFRP) grating adhesively bonded to rectangular pultruded GFRP box sections as structural formwork for a concrete slab. Holes cut into the top flange of the box sections at a variable spacing allow concrete ’studs’ to form at the grating/box interface. During casting, GFRP dowels are inserted into the holes to further connect the grating and box sections. Following preliminary component tests on two concrete blocks, experimental results show that the concrete filled grating provides a 100% increase in strain capacity when compared to a plain concrete block. It is therefore feasible to provide ductility to the complete system through the concrete in compression. Four push-out GFRP grating-box section specimens were then tested in double shear to assess the shear behaviour of the proposed GFRP dowel shear connector in both partially concrete-filled and fully concrete-filled box sections. From the resulting load-slip curves, a progressive longitudinal shear failure was seen to be provided by such a connection. The experimental results indicate that this type of shear connection can provide robustness and reasonable ductility to the system. Research is now underway to test a complete prototype system under variable load conditions to examine whether the behaviour is as predicted

Synopsis: This research investigated the development and characterization of different discrete fiber-reinforced polyurea systems for infrastructure applications. The behavior of various systems consisting of several polyureas with different fiber configurations was evaluated. Polyurea coating systems were previously evaluated for blast mitigation and impact resistance, and showed to be adequate in containing debris scatter from blast and impact. The purpose of further testing was an effort to develop a polyurea system for multi-hazard and/or repair-retrofit applications. The addition of fiber to a polymer coating provides improved stiffness and strength to the composite system while the polyurea base material provides ductility. Coupon tensile testing was conducted to determine the material mechanical properties in this study. The two parameters that were varied throughout testing were fiber volume fraction and fiber length. E-Glass fiber was used during specimen fabrication. Several optimal composite configurations of polyurea and fiber resulted from this coupon testing.

Synopsis: A three dimensional mechanical model was recently developed to simulate the shear strength contribution provided by a system of Near Surface Mounted (NSM) Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) strips to a Reinforced Concrete (RC) beam throughout its loading process. It was developed fulfilling equilibrium, kinematic compatibility and constitutive laws of both materials, concrete and FRP, and local bond between themselves. In the present paper, that model is first appraised on the basis of some of the most recent experimental results and then is applied to carry out parametric studies. The influence of each of the involved parameters on the contribution provided by a system of NSM FRP strips to the shear strength of a RC beam is investigated. The results of those studies are presented along with the main findings.

An analytical model is developed in this work to derive the bond-slip relationship at the reinforcement-substrate concrete interface (joint) for externally bonded FRP (EB-FRP). The model is generally applicable to both long joints (infinite bond length) and short joints. The bond-slip relationship for short joints with a limited bond length is a general model for EB-FRP joints. When the bond length approaches infinity, the model degenerates to a well-known existing analytical model. It is concluded from the modeling that the existing model for long joints is not applicable to short joints that have a bond length that is less than the effective bond length, or at locations in long joints that are closer than the effective bond length to the free end of the reinforcement. The bond-slip relationship is verified with test results.

Using fabric formwork, it is possible to cast architecturally interesting, optimised structures that use up to 40% less concrete than an equivalent strength prismatic section, thereby offering significant embodied energy savings. This paper reports on the latest techniques for the design, optimisation and shape prediction of fabric formed concrete beams before new test results of an innovative anchorage method for both steel and fibre reinforced polymer longitudinal reinforcing bars are presented. Two 2m span beams were tested and the ‘helically confined splayed bar’ was shown to provide full anchorage in both cases. The two beams both exceeded their design capacity and showed remarkably similar behaviour at the serviceability limit state, with the steel reinforced section going on to display considerable ductility. Potential areas of future development are then highlighted, with the use of woven advanced composite fabrics as participating formwork for both beam and shell elements being of particular interest.
