Testing Frp Confined Columns Under Eccentric Loading, Muhammad Hadi, Veysel Yazici Nov 2013

Testing Frp Confined Columns Under Eccentric Loading, Muhammad Hadi, Veysel Yazici

Veysel Yazici

A number of research studies have shown that the axial load carrying capacity of reinforcedconcrete columns increases substantially when wrapped with FRP. In addition FRP wrappingalso increases the lateral deformation capacity of the columns especially under eccentric loads,thus suggesting that an introduced slenderness effect has to be considered when columns arewrappedwith FRP sheets. Six circular RC columns were cast and divided into two groups whichwere tested under 25mm and 50mm eccentricity. Both groups had an unwrapped column, athree layer FRPwrapped column in the hoop direction, and a column which had discrete verticalFRP strips attached to its surface before a three …

Increasing The Flexural Stiffness Of Frp Wrapped Reinforced Concrete Columns, Muhammad Hadi, Veysel Yazici

Axial load carrying capacity of reinforced concrete columns increase substantially after FRP wrapping. However, the same method also increases the lateral deformation capacity 61the columns especially under eccentric loads implying that secondary moments have to be considered when column are wrapped with FRP sheets under high level of axial loads. In this experimental study, six circular RC columns were cast and divided into two groups which were tested under 25 mm and 50 mm eccentric axial loads. Both groups had an unwrapped RC column, a three layers FRP wrapped column in the hoop direction, and a column which had discrete …


Stabilisation Of Expansive Clays Using Granulated Blast Furnace Slag (Gbfs) And Gbfs-Cement, Erdal Cokca, Veysel Yazici, Vehbi Ozaydin Nov 2013

Stabilisation Of Expansive Clays Using Granulated Blast Furnace Slag (Gbfs) And Gbfs-Cement, Erdal Cokca, Veysel Yazici, Vehbi Ozaydin

Expansive clays undergo swelling when subjected to water. This can cause damage, especially to light weight structures, water conveyance canals, lined reservoirs, highways, and airport runways unless appropriate measures are taken. In this study, granulated blast furnace slag (GBFS) and GBFS-cement (GBFSC) were utilized to overcome or to limit the expansion of an artificially prepared expansive soil sample (sample A). GBFS and GBFSC were added to sample A in proportions of 5–25% by weight. The effects of these stabilizers on grain size distribution, Atterberg limits, swelling percentage and rate of swell of soil samples were determined. GBFS and GBFSC were …


Axial Load-Bending Moment Diagrams Of Carbon Frp Wrapped Hollow Core Reinforced Concrete Columns, Veysel Yazici, Muhammad Hadi Nov 2013

Axial Load-Bending Moment Diagrams Of Carbon Frp Wrapped Hollow Core Reinforced Concrete Columns, Veysel Yazici, Muhammad Hadi

Hollow core reinforced concrete columns are generally preferred in use to decrease the cost and weight/stiffnesss ratio of members, such as bridge columns and piles. With a simplified stress state assumption, strengthening a hollow core reinforced concrete column with fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) wrapping provides a biaxial confinement to the concrete, which leads to a need of defining the effect of FRP wrapping on the strength and ductility of the hollow core reinforced concrete columns. In this study, two groups of four hollow core reinforced concrete columns ( 205mmouter diameter, 56mmhollow core diameter, and 925mmheight) were tested under concentric, eccentric (25 …
