EBR FRP-STRENGTHENED BEAMS:A FEA STUDY ON END-PLATE EFFECTS
This paper investigates numerically the effectiveness of externally bonded reinforcement fibre reinforced polymers(EBR FRP)plates bonded on reinforced concrete(RC)beams.Finite elment analysis(FEA)was conducted on a case study beam to investigate stress concentrations in the concrete,steel and FRP,as well as at the FRP-RC bonded interface.The FEA is then used to carry out a parametric study that shows that increasing the thickness or the elastic modulus of the FRP plate affects the efficiency of the FRP plate bonding,thus making it susceptible to earlier debonding.The influence of the FRP plate stiffness on the interfacial normal and shear stresses is also examined analytically.Based on the FEA results,a “tapering technique is suggested to prevent bond failures,which in turn increases the capacity of FRP plate bonded RC beams.This technique is extremely sucecsful in reducing the stresses by up to 15%which responsible for concrete rip-off and peel-off failures.
