文摘The present paper concerns the fracture characteristics and ductility of cracked concrete beam externally bonded with carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) sheet as well as the integration behaviors between CFRP/concrete interfacial debonding and concrete cracking.Three-point bending tests were carried out on the CFRP-strengthened cracked concrete beams with varying specimen depth and initial crack length.A straingauge method was developed to monitor the crack initiation and propagation in concrete,and the CFRP/concrete interfacial bonding behaviors,respectively.Clip gauges were used to measure crack mouth opening displacement (CMOD) and the deflection at midspan.Experimental results revealed that CFRP-strengthened specimen shows a higher load capacity under the same deformation level and a better inelastic deformation capacity compared with the unstrengthened one.For there are two manifest peak values in the obtained load versus displacement curve,the ductility of CFRP-strengthened concrete beams were investigated using index expressed as area ratio on the load versus displacement curve.The calculated results indicated that the contribution from CFRP sheet to the ductility improvement of specimen is notable when the deflection at midspan exceeded 10.5 times the first-crack deflection.
文摘为探究泡沫混凝土(Foamed concrete,FC)梁的断裂特性和裂缝扩展过程,采用不同密度和不同初始缝高比的试件,开展不同加载速率下的三点弯断裂试验。结果表明,FC梁的抗弯承载力具有加载速率效应,其峰值荷载随加载速率的上升而增大。但加载速率效应随FC密度的增长逐渐减弱,且初始缝高比越大,加载速率效应越不明显。FC梁抗弯承载力随密度的减小而下降,但其抵抗变形的能力增强。利用ABAQUS建立FC梁的有限元模型,借助扩展有限元方法(Extended finite element method,XFEM)模拟FC梁的裂缝扩展过程,得到其断裂过程的荷载-裂缝张口位移(P-CMOD)曲线。结果表明,数值模拟的结果与试验结果吻合良好,验证了XFEM的合理性和精确性。FC梁在达到峰值荷载前的裂缝开展形式主要为拉伸裂缝,达到峰值荷载后,裂缝进入失稳扩展阶段,剪切裂缝逐渐增多。
