Flexural Strengthening of RC Beams with Prestressed CFRP Sheets: Using Nonmetallic Anchor Systems
Source abstract
Abstract
This paper presents the flexural behavior of reinforced concrete beams strengthened with prestressed carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) sheets using nonmetallic anchor systems. The developed nonmetallic anchor systems replace the permanent steel anchorage. Nine doubly reinforced concrete beams are tested with various types of nonmetallic anchor systems such as nonanchored U-wraps, mechanically anchored U-wraps, and CFRP sheet-anchored U-wraps. The flexural behavior of the tested beams, including detailed failure modes of each nonmetallic anchor system, is investigated. The study shows that the developed nonmetallic anchors are more effective in resisting peeling-off cracks compared to the permanent steel anchors and the beams strengthened with the nonmetallic anchors provide comparable load-carrying capacity with respect to the steel anchored control beam.
