The model assumes that a section in the beam has a trilinear moment--curvature relationship characterized by three particular points, initial cracking of concrete, yielding of non-prestressed steel, and crushing of concrete or rupturing of prestressing tendons. Predictions from the model were compared with the limited available test data, and a reasonable agreement was obtained. A detailed parametric study of the behavior of the prestressed concrete beams with hybrid FRP and stainless steel reinforcements was conducted. It can be concluded that the deformability of the beam can be enhanced by increasing the ultimate compressive strain of concrete, unhonded length of tendon, percentage of compressive reinforcement and partial prestress ratio, and decreasing the effective prestress in tendons, and increasing in ultimate compressive strain of concrete is the most efficient one. The deformability of the beam is almost directly proportional to the concrete ultimate strain provided the failure mode is concrete crushing, even though the concrete ultimate strain has less influence on the load-carrying capacity.展开更多

Though reinforced concrete has high strength and is most widely used construction material it suffers from disadvantages like corrosion of steel, susceptibility to chemical and environmental attack. In order to overcome the above deficiencies of reinforced concrete new materials (special concrete composites) have been developed over the past three decades. Glass Fibre Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) is one such material with wide range of applications. Based on the preliminary investigations on GFRP bars, an optimum fiber/resin ratio of 7:3 was arrived. The tensile strength of GFRP bars is comparable to that of the mild steel as per the tests carried out, but the modulus of elasticity is about 25-30 percentage of that of steel bars. This paper deals with the experimental investigations carried out on small slab panels supported on all four edges with effective spans of 0.9 m ~ 0.45 m, which is a part of large research problem undertaken with different ratios of 10ng span to short span with different support conditions. The test results are compared with similar slab panels reinforced with conventional mild steel bars.展开更多

The objective of the research is to investigate the behaviour of a hybrid composite section under flexure. The hybrid section consists of a top concrete slab, Glass Fibre Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) beam section and Carbon Fibre Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) laminate on the extreme underside. This maximizes the benefits of each material, that is: high tensile strength of CFRP, compressive strength and low cost of concrete, light weight and lower cost of GFRP, and high corrosion resistance of all components. Three beam samples were manufactured and tested to failure while monitoring deflections and strains. By adding CFRP layers under the concrete-GFRP composite beam increases the bending strength and reduces the deflection. The most important factor in the proposed strengthening technique of GFRP-concrete composite beams by using CFRP is the adhesive material that bonds the CFRP to the GFRP. Any weakness in CFRP-GFRP bond may cause brittle failure of the beam. The study results indicate the benefits of using hybrid FRP-concrete beams to increase flexural load carrying capacity and beam stiffness and provide a numerical model that can be further developed to model more advanced material arrangements in the future. The outcome of this research provides information for both designers and researchers in the field of FRP composites.展开更多

It was found that Mo-Hf-based and Cu-Mo-based single-phase metallic glasses could be obtained at compositions around CulTMo20Hf63 and Cu34Mo57Hf9, respectively. Interestingly, at the nearly equal-atomic stoichiometry of Cu38Mo31Hf3i, a dual-phase Cu-Mo-Hf metallic glass, consisting both of the Mo-Hf-based and Cu-Mo-based phases, was first obtained at relatively low irradiation doses ranging from (1-5)×10^15 Xe+/cm2, and a single-phase metallic glass was eventually obtained at a dose of 7×10^15 Xe+/cm2. In addition, two glass-based composites were obtained at the compositions of Cu14Mo62Hf24 and Cu77Mo14Hf9, and they consisted of the Mo-Hf based and Cu-Mo based metallic glasses, dissolved with some uniformly distributed BCC Mo-based and FCC Cu-based crystalline solid solutions, respectively. The formation mechanism of the above described non-equilibrium alloy phases was also discussed in terms of the atomic collision theory.展开更多
