Efficiency of Externally Bonded L-Shaped FRP Laminates in Strengthening Reinforced-Concrete Interior Beam-Column Joints
Source abstract
Abstract
This study investigated the efficiency of externally bonded L-shaped fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) laminates in strengthening seismically damaged reinforced concrete (RC) interior joints. Ten ½-scale interior beam-column joints, including two reference specimens, were constructed and then damaged under simulated cyclic lateral loads. In addition to repairing visual cracks with epoxy injections, four of eight specimens were strengthened with externally bonded L-shaped carbon fiber–reinforced polymer (CFRP) laminates and the rest were strengthened with basalt fiber–reinforced polymer (BFRP) laminates. Retesting after retrofitting showed that the average peak strength of the CFRP-strengthened and BFRP-strengthened specimens increased by approximately 20 and 10%, respectively. The two strengthening systems also clearly enhanced the deformability of the specimens. Further analysis indicated strength increase was controlled by the end debonding of FRP laminates near critical sections of the specimens, thus the bending strengthening formulas, which were extensively used in practice, overestimated the strengthening efficiency. To solve this problem, alternative formulas accounting for the end debonding of FRP were proposed to predict the peak strength and FRP strain of the specimens. The predictions showed acceptable agreement with the test results, demonstrating the proposed formulas were applicable to predict the efficiency of externally bonded L-shaped FRPs in strengthening damaged interior framed joints.
