Title: | Upgrading of Reinforced Concrete Joints with Carbon Fibre Sheets | Contributor(s): | Ronagh, Hamid Reza (author); Mahini, Saeed S (author) | Publication Date: | 2005 | Handle Link: | https://hdl.handle.net/1959.11/15425 | Abstract: | This paper presents the results of an experimental study performed in order to evaluate the ability of CFRP sheets in upgrading an exterior RC joint by preventing the plastic hinge formation at the face of the column. In this study, three 1/2.2 scaled-down RC exterior joints of a typical Ordinary Moment Resisting Frame (OMRF) were tested under monotonic load. One specimen was used as a control while the other two were strengthened with CFRP sheets of different lengths. All specimens were loaded monotonically to failure under a displacement-controlled regime. The results show that (when carefully designed), carbon fibre sheets can effectively relocate the plastic hinge away from the face of the column. Non-linear numerical analysis using ANSYS provided an insight to the expected failure mechanism and to this phenomenon. In this paper, the results of the experiments and the numerical analyses are presented and discussed. | Publication Type: | Conference Publication | Conference Details: | ICCD 2005: 2nd International Conference on Concrete & Development, Tehran, Iran, 30th April - 2nd May, 2005 | Source of Publication: | Proceedings of 2nd International Conference on Concrete and Development, p. 1-10 | Publisher: | Building and Housing Research Center | Place of Publication: | Tehran, Iran | Fields of Research (FoR) 2008: | 091209 Polymers and Plastics 090504 Earthquake Engineering 109999 Technology not elsewhere classified 091202 Composite and Hybrid Materials 120402 Engineering Design Knowledge 120403 Engineering Design Methods 090506 Structural Engineering |
