FATIGUE TEST ON CFRP PLATE REPAIRED RECTANGULAR HOLLOW SECTION(RHS)STEEL BEAMS WITH INITIAL CRACKS
This paper presents the fatigue test on rectangular hollow section(RHS)steel beams with an initial crack.The crack was artificial cut on the bottom of the mid-span with certain depth.They were patched with normal modulus and high modulus carbon fibre reinforced polymer(CFRP)plates.It was recognized that prestressed CFRP plate can increase the utilization efficiency of the materials.Therefore,prestressed CFRP plates were prepared with self-balanced instrumentation and patched to the cracked specimens.Crack propagation,failure modes and number of cycles were recorded during the fatigue test.The results were discussed with modulus and prestressing level.It was found that both the patching and prestressing technique can improve the fatigue performance.
