Design criteria of FRP Reinforced Concrete Flexural Members

重复拉伸荷载会降低部分FRP筋的抗压强度和刚度。疲劳寿命受环境温度和重复加载时间间隔的影响。这些特性应在设计规范中加以考虑，抗弯承载力抗力系数计算值约为0.8。然而，仍然存在对故障的安全裕度的讨论。在本研究中，未考虑FRP筋的抗压强度小于抗拉强度，反复拉伸荷载降低抗压强度等，特别是考虑FRP筋的抗压强度，应计算抗力系数。本文介绍了网格式FRP受弯构件的短期荷载试验和长期荷载试验加固，以获得正常使用极限的设计标准。通过对实测挠度和裂缝宽度的评估，提出了能较好地再现试验结果的预测公式，当开裂后刚度下降较大时，工作应力将被限制在开裂弯矩水平以下。在这种情况下，长期挠度的增加与FRP筋的应力水平成正比。然而，总挠度与跨度相比并不大。裂缝宽度的增加也与FRP筋的应力水平成正比。然而，刚开裂后的裂纹宽度相当大。因此，需要设计准则，例如在工作应力水平下不允许裂缝宽度增加。在这种情况下，我们必须知道，当裂缝宽度是正常使用极限时，FRP加固的应力水平将被限制在相当低的应力水平。

The compressive strength and the stiffness of some FRP reinforcements are reduced by the repeated tensile load. The fatigue life is affected by the environmental temperature and the time interval of repeated load. These characteristics should be taken into consideration of design criteris.The resistance factor for flexural capacity was calculated to be 0.8 approximately. However, there still remains the discussion of safety margin against the failure. In this study, not considered are the smaller compressive strength of FRP reinforcement than the tensile strength, the reduction of compressive strength by the repeated tensile load, etc. Specially the resistance factor should be calculated, considering the compressive strength of FRP reinforcement, when the structure would be subjected to earthquake load.The short term loading test and the long term loading test of flexural members with grid type FRP reinforcement were conducted to obtain the design criteria for serviceability limit. As a result of evaluation of measured deflection and crack width, the prediction formulae, that could well reproduce the experimental results, could be postulated.When the stiffness degrades much after cracking, the working stress would be limited under the cracking moment level. In this case, the increase of long term deflection is proportional to the stress level of FRP reinforcement. However, the total deflection is not large comparing the span length. The increase of crack width is also proportional to the stress level of FRP reinforcement. However, the crack width immediately after cracking is considerably large. So, the design criteria should be needed such as no more increase of crack width could be permitted under the working stress level. In this case, We have to know that the stress level of FRP reinforcement would be limited to a considerably low stress level when the crack width would be a serviceability limit.
