Shear Strengthening of RCT-Joints Using CFRP Composites
Source abstract
Abstract
The rehabilitation of RC columns jacketed with carbon fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP) composites for improving shear strength, confinement, and ductility has received considerable attention. However, research for improving the shear capacity of beam-column T-joints using FRP composite materials is still in the early stages. The present paper describes the experimental results of 14 1/3-scale tests of concrete beam-column joints. The variables considered were the composite system, the fiber orientation, and the surface preparation. The tests have demonstrated the viability of carbon FRP composites for their use in improving the shear capacity of the joints as evidenced by the experimental results. Based on these experimental results, a design aid was developed for T-joints with inadequate confinement and shear reinforcement.
