| Summary: | This report presents the experimental and theoretical studies on the feasibility of using CFRP laminates for strengthening damaged reinforced concrete beams in cold environment. Experimental work includes investigation on fatigue strength, ultimate capacity and failure modes of repaired reinforced concrete beams in cold environment and room temperature. The repaired concrete beams subjected to fatigue in cold environment exhibit fewer number of cracks than those observed in beams at room temperature. The crack propagation and resulting damage were faster in beams tested in room temperature than those at cold temperatures. The study also includes investigation of thermal response of repaired plain concrete beams with CFRP laminates subjected to thermal cycles. Analytical studies on the distributed shear forces and peeling forces of repaired reinforced concrete beams were carried out to analyze the interaction between the laminate and the concrete interface. The temperature distribution and strains developed by the temperature differential are determined in the repaired plain concrete beams subjected to thermal cycles and the analytical results compared with the measured values. | |
