The experimental work undertaken in this study consisted of third point loading tests of the simply supported RC beams. In addition, material tests were carried out to determine the mechanical properties of the concrete, reinforcement steel and AFRP which were used in constructing and retrofitting the beams.
Twelve beams were tested under Third point loading (ASTM C1609/C1609M) after curing for 28 days. The beams were divided into two groups. For group RF, focus was on flexural behaviour, and for group RS focus was on shear behaviour.
And beams are subjected to retrofitting except for the controlled beams.
Manufacturing of beams
Inadequate designs of structures and earthquakes have been frequently observed in the Philippines. It creates great devastations in terms of money, time and structural failure. This phenomena leaves major threats to any structural members especially for beams. Cracking in beams reduces its load capacity and allows the water to penetrate to the reinforcements which causes corrosion.
Pre-Loading of Beams
Retrofitting of Cracked beams
Test for Flexural strength
Conclusion and Recommendations
The mentioned alarming situation spurred the researcher’s attention to conduct a study entitled “Retrofitting of Reinforced Concrete Beams using Abaca fibres.” This would be a one way of addressing the problems concerning structural member failures and make an alternative way in mitigating effects of seismic to the beams. Furthermore, this research study really intends to utilize locally available materials wherein Philippines is the number one abaca producers and to produce an economical and effective retrofitted beams which will be used to save time and money.
The result of this study can help different sectors who has concern on damage beam due to earthquake, axial load failure, and other factors. This study can give alternative solution of restoring or even surpassing the original strength of the beam without full reconstruction of the structure.
General Objective:
The main objective of this study is to develop a technique for providing significant increase in strength and toughness to cracked masonry structure by retrofitting it using abaca fibre reinforced plastic.
Specific Objective:
• To determine the physical properties of aggregate and cement to be used in the study.
• To determine the design mixture.
• To determine the slump of concrete to be used in the study.
• To compare the flexural strength of the original concrete beam to the retrofitted beam with AFRP.
• To determine the effect of retrofitted beam using AFRP.
• To determine the amount of AFRP to be applied on that will give the maximum strength of the retrofitted concrete.
• To determine the total unit costing of material per square meter of work.
