Experimental Research on Bending Performance of Concrete Beams Reinforced with CFRP-PCPs Composite Rebars

Article Preview

Abstract:

The flexural behavior of concrete beams reinforced with CFRP-PCPs composite rebars was studied. Experimental results showed that the deflection of beams reinforced with highly prestressed prisms is at service loads coMParable to deflection of steel reinforced beam. Flexural cracks of CFRP-PCPs composite rebars reinforced beams are hairline before prism cracking, and widened after the prism cracking. When the concrete beam was reinforced with the prestressed concrete prisms, the crack width decreased as the prestress in the prism increased.
