Experimental Investigation Of Composite Beams Reinforced With Gfrp I-Beam And Steel Bars, Muhammad N. S Hadi, Jiansong Yuan
Experimental Investigation Of Composite Beams Reinforced With Gfrp I-Beam And Steel Bars, Muhammad N. S Hadi, Jiansong Yuan
Faculty of Engineering and Information Sciences - Papers: Part B
This paper presents results of an experimental study on the flexural behaviour of a composite beam, which is reinforced with longitudinal tensile steel bars as well as glass fibre reinforced polymer (GFRP) pultruded I-beam encased in concrete. Five beam specimens, including one traditional reinforced concrete (RC) beam and four composite beams, were cast and tested under four-point bending. The variables involved in the composite beams include the type of longitudinal tensile bars (steel bars and GFRP bars) and the location of the I-beam in the cross-section (middle and a shift of 30 mm towards the tension region). The test results …
An Experimental Study Of Axial Load Transfer Mechanisms Of Cable Bolts Using Axially Split Embedment Apparatus, Ali Mirza, Naj Aziz
An Experimental Study Of Axial Load Transfer Mechanisms Of Cable Bolts Using Axially Split Embedment Apparatus, Ali Mirza, Naj Aziz
Faculty of Engineering and Information Sciences - Papers: Part B
The load transfer mechanisms of cable bolts differ from those for normal rebar bolts. The cable bolts used in mines are basically steel strands with different constructions depending on the number of wires or elements and the way they are laid. Tendon bolts (rebar and cable) are normally evaluated for their strength and load transfer properties. The tendon strength can be evaluated by the tensile failure tests, while the load transfer strength is evaluated by the pull and shear strength tests. Short Encapsulation Pull Testing (SEPT) is normally used to study the load transfer capacities of tendons, and it can …
