Experimental and Numerical Evaluation for Hybrid Reinforced T-Beam with Different Ratios of Recycled Rubberized Concrete
Source abstract
Abstract
Abstract The use of hybrid GFRP and steel bars as main reinforcement increases the flexural capacity of T-section concrete beams and reduces ductility. Adding recycled rubber to the concrete mix would further enhance the ductility of the hybrid system. Evaluation of the concrete's flexural capacity and ductility is the main goal of the current investigation using normal concrete (NC) and rubberized recycled concrete (RRC). Eight T-beams have been experimentally investigated in this research, two beams were reinforced with steel bars and GFRP bars with zero percentage of crumb rubber (C.R). The remaining beams were reinforced with different combinations of GFRP and steel bars with rubberized concrete mixes with partial substitution of sand with recycled crumb rubber by (0%, 7.5%, 10%, and 12.5% replacements by volume) particle size 1.0 to 2.0 mm. The ductility index for the tested hybrid rubberized T-beams (HRTB) BRH1, BRH3a, BRH5, BRH2, BRH4, and BRH6, were higher than BH1 and BH2 by 28.2%, 35.47%, 65.38%, 23.76%, 30.04%, and 56.95% indicating that increasing the percentage of C.R. has a direct effect on increasing the ductility index. The ultimate failure load for the tested HRTB BRH1, BRH3a, and BRH5, decreased by 11.68%, 14.29%, and 17.47% compared to the hybrid T-beam BH1. The energy dissipation decreased for HRTB BRH1, BRH3a, BRH5, BRH2, BRH4 and BRH6 by 7.88%, 12.36%, 17.17%, 8.12%, 12.96%, and 18.28 compared to hybrid T-beams BH1 and BH2. This indicates that the existence of the very weak C.R. was not able to dissipate the energy properly within the concrete matrix. Good agreement was found between the numerical model and experimental results in terms of crack pattern, ultimate loads and deflections.
