采用GFRP配筋解决混凝土碳化对桥梁面板的负面影响

THE SOLUTION FOR ADVERSE IMPACT OF CARBONATION ON CONCRETE BRIDGE DECK SLABS BT USING GFRP REINFORCEMENT

桥梁面板是桥梁结构的主要构件,对结构的整体性能和交通运输起着至关重要的作用。然而随着使用年限的增加,混凝土碳化将对钢筋混凝土桥梁面板的耐久性能产生较大的影响。近年来,玻璃纤维增强复合筋材(GFRP Bars)因具有高强、轻质、耐腐蚀等性能而逐渐被工程界认可。非线性有限元分析结果表明,由于压缩薄膜效应的存在使得同样配筋率的GFRP筋混凝土桥梁面板与钢筋混凝土桥梁面板的工作性能相似,证实了GFRP筋代替钢筋的可行性。在分析混凝土的碳化机理和GFRP的材料属性后发现,由于碳化使混凝土的渗透性和孔隙率降低,在碳化发生以后GFRP筋混凝土桥梁面的耐久性能不仅没有下降反而有所提高。

As crucial structural components in bridge structures, bridge deck slabs played an important role in integral structural behaviours and transportation. However, with the increasing of ages in services, the durability of reinforced concrete bridge deck slabs was influenced significantly by carbonation. Recently, because of high strength, light weight and strong corrosion-resistance, glass fiber polymer reinforcement bars （ GFRP bars） were accepted by civil engineers. Due to the existence of compressive membrane action, it was shown that the structural behaviours of GFRP reinforced concrete bridge deck slabs with same reinforcement percentage were similar as those of steel reinforced concrete bridge deck slabs in nonlinear finite element analysis. Based on numerical analysis results, GFRP is available to be used as replacement of steel reinforcement. According the analysis of mechanism of concrete carbonation and material properties of GFRP, it was found that the durability of GFRP reinforced concrete bridge deck slabs was enhanced after the occurrence of carbonation in concrete structures, because carbonation reduced the permeability and porosity of concrete.
