This paper presents a new simple two-dimensional frame finite element able to accurately estimate the load-carrying capacity of reinforced concrete beams flexurally strengthened externally bonded fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) strips and plates. The proposed analysis model considers distributed plasticity with layer-discretization of the cross-sections and the bond-slip behavior of epoxy layer. The proposed model is used to predict the load-carrying capacity and the applied load-midspan deflection response of RC beams subjected to bending loading. Numerical simulations and experimental measurements are compared based on numerous tests available in the literature and published by different authors. The numerically simulated response agree remarkably well with the corresponding experimental results. Thus, the proposed model is suitable for efficient and accurate modeling and analysis of flexural strengthening of RC beams with externally bonded FRP sheets/plates and for practical use in design-oriented parametric studies.

본 연구는 하이브리드 FRP로 보강된 철근 콘크리트 보의 구조거동 예측을 목표로 구조해석을 수행하여 기존에 발표된 실험 연구 데이터와 비교하였다. 보다 정확한 구조해석을 위하여 현존하는 다양한 부착강도 모델을 검토한 후, 이 중 콘크리트 피복분리를 예측하는 Teng and Yao model과 FRP 탈락 현상을 예측할 수 있는 Smith and Teng model을 유한요소 해석 모델에 포함시켰다. 비선형 재료 및 형상 역시 구조해석 모델에 포함되었으며 이렇게 해석된 결과는 실험결과와 비교하여 유사한 경향을 나타냈다. 그러나 다양한 하이브리드 FRP로 보강한 철근 콘크리트 보의 파괴모드를 보다 정확하게 예측하기 위하여 현존하는 수치식의 수정 및 도입이 필요하다.

Due to the escalation in hydrocarbon consumption, the offshore industry is now looking for advanced technology to be employed for deep sea exploration. Riser system is an integral part of floating structure used for such oil and gas extraction from deep water offering a system of drill twines and production tubing to spread the exploration well towards the ocean bed. Thus, the marine risers need to be precisely employed. The incorporation of the strengthening material, fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) for deep and ultra-deep water riser has drawn extensive curiosity in offshore engineering as it might offer potential weight savings and improved durability. The design for FRP strengthening involves the local design for critical loads along with the global analysis under all possible nonlinearities and imposed loadings such as platform motion, gravity, buoyancy, wave force, hydrostatic pressure, current etc. for computing and evaluating critical situations. Finite element package, ABAQUS/AQUA is the competent tool to analyze the static and dynamic responses under the offshore hydrodynamic loads. The necessities in design and operating conditions are studied. The study includes describing the methodology, procedure of analysis and the local design of composite riser. The responses and fatigue damage characteristics of the risers are explored for the effects of FRP strengthening. A detail assessment on the technical expansion of strengthening riser has been outlined comprising the inquiry on its behavior. The enquiry exemplifies the strengthening of riser as very potential idea and suitable in marine structures to explore oil and gas in deep sea.

The lightweight superstructure is beneficial for bridges in remote areas and emergency erection. In such weight-sensitive applications, the combination of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) as a material and box-beams as a structural system have enormous scope. This combination offers various advantages, but as a thin-walled structure, their designs are often governed by buckling criteria. FRP box-beams lose their stability either by flange or web buckling mode. In this paper, the web buckling behavior of simply supported FRP box-beam subjected to transverse load has been studied by modeling full box-beam to consider the effect of real state of stress (stress variation in length direction) and boundary conditions (rotational restraint at web-flange junction). A parametric study by varying the sectional geometry and fiber orientation is carried out by using ANSYS software. The accuracy of the FE models was ensured by verifying them against the available results provided in the literature. With the help of developed database the influential parameters (i.e., αs, βw, δw and γ) affecting the web bucklings are identified. Design trends have been developed which will be helpful to the designers in the preliminary stage. Finally, the importance of governing parameters and design trends are demonstrated through pedestrian bridge design.

The main contribution of the present paper is to propose an intelligent fuzzy inference system approach for modeling the debonding strength of masonry elements retrofitted with Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP). To achieve this, the hybrid of meta-heuristic optimization methods and adaptive-network-based fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) is implemented. In this study, particle swarm optimization with passive congregation (PSOPC) and real coded genetic algorithm (RCGA) are used to determine the best parameters of ANFIS from which better bond strength models in terms of modeling accuracy can be generated. To evaluate the accuracy of the proposed PSOPC-ANFIS and RCGA-ANFIS approaches, the numerical results are compared based on a database from laboratory testing results of 109 sub-assemblages. The statistical evaluation results demonstrate that PSOPC-ANFIS in comparison with ANFIS-RCGA considerably enhances the accuracy of the ANFIS approach. Furthermore, the comparison between the proposed approaches and other soft computing methods indicate that the approaches can effectively predict the debonding strength and that their modeling results outperform those based on the other methods.

Reinforced concrete (RC) beams strengthened by externally bonded reinforcement often fail by debonding. This paper presents an experimental and analytical study aimed at better understanding and modeling the fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) debonding failures in strengthened RC beams under monotonic and cyclic loads. In order to investigate the flexural behavior and failure modes of FRP-strengthened beams under monotonic and cyclic loadings, an experimental program was carried out. An analytical study based on the energy balance of the system was also performed. It considers the dominant mechanisms of energy dissipation during debonding and predicts the failure load of the strengthened beams. Validation of the model was carried out using test data obtained from the own experimental investigation.

This paper deals with the flexural strengthening of reinforced concrete beams by means of thin fiber reinforced plastic(FRP) laminas. This study focuses on modeling of structural of concrete bonded FRP laminate in flexural bending members. Used computational equation is derived by relation of stress and strain. The section analysis is based on experimental observations of a linear strain distribution in the cross section until failure, and a multi-linear moment-deflection curve that is divided into four regions, each terminated by a similarly numbered point. The load-deflection relationship in each region is assumed to be linear. The present model is validated to compare wit the experiment of 4-point bending tests of R/C rectangular beams strengthened with CFRP laminates, and has well predicted the moment-displacement relationships of members.

Based on the experimental data presented in part I of these companion papers, a semi-empirical model is proposed for axial stress-strain curves of reinforced high-strength concrete square columns confined by aramid fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) jackets. Additionally, a three-dimensional finite element model is developed to simulate the mechanical behaviors of the columns. In the finite element model, both material nonlinear and contact nonlinear are taken into account. Moreover, the influence of contact nonlinear (i.e., the end friction on the contact surface between test machines and specimens) is investigated deeply. Predictions from both the semi-empirical model and the finite element model agree with the experimental results, and it is also demonstrated that the friction coefficient of end friction notably affect the properties of columns when it ranges from 0.00 to 0.25.

최근에 섬유보강 콘크리트와 섬유보강 플라스틱과 같은 복합소재를 기존의 구조부재와 연루하여 적용하고자하는 연구가 많이 진행되고 있다. 이러한 첨단 복합소재를 적절히 사용하기 위해서는 이들 소재를 구조물 또는 그 일부에 적용할 시에 저항 메카니즘과 파괴양상에 대한 이해가 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 특별히 단면이 시멘트 복합소재를 층으로 갖거나 FRP 텐던 등으로 보강된 Bonded 및 Unbonded 프리스트레스트 콘크리트보의 비선형 휨거동을 예측할 수 있는 이론모델을 개발하고자 하였다. 본 모델은 한 개의단면으로 해석하는 Couple Method와 여러 개의 적층으로 나눈 Layered Method의 중간적인 모델이라고 할 수 있는 블록개념(Block Concept)이 적용되었다. 주어진 하중에 대한 처짐을 구하기 위하여 N개의 축력에대한 평형조건과 N개의 휨에 대한 평형조건을 이용하여 보 전체의 2N 개의 변수를 구하였다. 본 모델은 여러 형태로 배근된 Bonded 그리고 Unbonded 프리스트레스트 콘크리트보의 휨 거동을 성공적으로 예측하였다.또한 취성적인 FRP 텐던이 파괴됨에 따른 보의 갑작스런 하중저하 이후의 점진적인 내력증가도 성공적으로 모사하였다. 이는취성적인 FRP텐던으로 보강된 프리스트레스트 보의 전반적인 하중-처짐을 추적하는데 유용하다.
