Abstract: The study of this project is concerned with the investigation of the efficiency of GFRP composites in strengthening simply supported reinforced concrete beams designed with insufficient flexure capacity. The test results of seven beams, addressing the influence of flexure strengthening and their flexure capacity were compared with ultimate flexure capacity of R.C section using IS 456-2000.

I. INTRODUCTION

This project deals with the GFRP composite as an additional material with reinforcements. …show more content…

DISCUSSION OF RESULTS
1. NORMAL BEAM This beam was designed & tested. The initial crack was found at 58 kN. By proceeding load increment, cracks were developed at closer intervals. The ultimate load was noted and it was 71kN for this reference beam. The maximum deflection at mid of the strengthened beam at the failure was found as 6.5 mm.
2. NORMAL BEAM SRENGTHENED The ultimate load bearing capacity of strengthened beam was 81.5 kN. Provision of the GFRP at bottom had considerably increased the load carrying capacity by 14.8%. The GFRP laminates acted as externally bonded reinforcement and provided additional stiffness. The maximum deflection at mid of the strengthened beam at the failure was found as 20.45 mm.
3. FLEXURE BEAM This beam was designed to fail by flexure. This flexure beam was tested. The initial crack was found at 25 kN. By proceeding load increment, cracks were developed at closer intervals. The cracks propagated in the flexure zone. The ultimate load was noted and it was 60.4 kN for this beam. The maximum deflection at mid of the strengthened beam at the failure was found as 18.42 mm. 4. FLEXURE BEAM WRAPPED WITH GFRP ON ALL FOUR SIDES …show more content…

Instead of single layer, we can go for two or three layer wrapping for improving its strength.
3. In this study Iso-thalmic resin was used, It can be tried with other resins.
4. This technique can also be adopted for shear failure & rehabitation of earthquake affected structures.

The key to GFRC is the glass-fibre reinforcement. The glass fibres take the place of steel in a wet-cast mix, which allow GFRC to develop much greater strengths than standard wet-cast concrete. This then allows us to cast thinner, lighter sections but also larger in surface area if need be than ordinary reinforced concrete panels.

The experimental young's modulus of 10,644,380 Psi is close to the standard elastic modulus of 10,600,000 Psi with 0.42 percent error. Using the graphs, the yield stress was found using a 0.2% offset. The yield stress was found to be about 50,000 Psi, far from the standard 42,000 Psi. This resulted in a 19.05 percent error.

The connected elements (typically straight) may be stressed from tension, compression, or sometimes both in response to dynamic loads. Truss bridges are one of the oldest types of modern bridges. The basic types of truss bridges shown in this article have simple designs which could be easily analyzed by nineteenth and early twentieth century engineers. A truss bridge is economical to construct owing to its efficient use of materials.

    Cracks are expected at intervals in this slab (Usually .90 to 1.2m) and are held together with structural steel. Appropriate spacing between cracks must be determined in order for this method to work. Continuously reinforced roads can sometimes be more expensive than the other two methods due to the higher quality of steel used in its construction, however this can be lowered by the reduced amount of cement used in the concrete mixture due to the thinner layer of concrete in comparison with the other two methods. With proper management, this method can be similar to the other two in terms of durability and cost
