Behavior of structural concrete frames with hybrid reinforcement under cyclic loading
FRATTURA ED INTEGRITA STRUTTURALE-FRACTURE AND STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY(2021)
Abstract
A substantial amount of work was carried out on the use of fiber- reinforced polymer (FRP) in reinforced concrete structural elements, which demonstrated considerable inelasticity or deformity through monotonic and cyclic loads. Even so, the action of FRP bars in reinforced concrete columns and frame structures has not yet been studied during reversed cyclic loading. In this research, reversed cyclic loading was applied on three beam-column joint models using the finite element method with ANSYS software. The first model was for a joint designed with steel rebar for both the longitudinal and transversal reinforcement. Glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) rebar was used in the second joint model for the longitudinal reinforcement with steel transversal reinforcement. The third joint model was designed with hybrid steel/GFRP reinforcement for the longitudinal reinforcement and steel transversal reinforcement. The performance of the three models under reversed cyclic loading, such as load vs. story drift and energy dissipation capacity, were compared. The GFRP-reinforced model displayed a predominantly elastic behavior up to failure. Although its energy dissipation was lower, its performance in terms of total story drift demand was satisfactory.
