Overview

Laboratory tests showed enhanced ductility and ultimate load in high-strength concrete beams with carbon fibre reinforced polymer laminates, suggesting effective retrofitting options.

Key Points

  • This research evaluates the ductility performance and strength of high-strength concrete beams using hybrid fibre reinforced polymer laminates.
  • Cast and tested 17 rectangular beams with varying combinations of glass and carbon fibre reinforced polymer laminates
  • Compared performance metrics including first crack load, yield load, and ultimate load between control and reinforced beams
  • Analyzed parameters such as deflection ductility and energy ductility ratios.
  • Reinforced beams exhibited increased ultimate load and flexural stiffness compared to control beams
  • Hybrid fibre reinforced polymer laminates provided sufficient ductility
  • Enhanced composite action observed in beams with hybrid laminates.
