Abstract:
In order to analyze the shear size effect of RC beams without web reinforcement considering debonding of CFRP sheets, a three-dimensional (3D) meso-scale numerical analysis model of CFRP-strengthened reinforced concrete (RC) beams without web reinforcement was established, which considers the heterogeneity of concrete, the bond-slip relationship between reinforcement and concrete, and the interaction between CFRP sheets and concrete. On the basis of verifying the rationality of the numerical method, meso-scale models of 28 CFRP-strengthened RC beams were designed and established. The effects of the debonding behavior of CFRP sheets on the shear failure behavior and size effect of RC beams under different CFRP fiber ratios (0. 0555%, 0. 1110%, 0. 2220%) and different cross-section sizes (80 mm × 200 mm, 160 mm × 400 mm, 240 mm × 600 mm and 320 mm × 800 mm) were analyzed. The analysis results show that considering the debonding of CFRP sheets can truly reflect the actual shear performance of RC beams in the state of imperfect bonding between CFRP sheets and concrete. The nominal shear strength of the strengthened beams decreases with the section size, showing an obvious size effect phenomenon. For the three groups of fiber ratios, when the height of the RC beam is increased from 200 mm to 800 mm, the nominal shear strength of the RC beams which consider CFRP sheet debonding decreases by 26. 5%, 17. 8% and 13. 1%, respectively, while those not considering CFRP sheet debonding decreases by 20. 6%, 13. 0% and 8. 1%, respectively. When considering the debonding behavior of CFRP sheets, the weakening effect of CFRP sheets on the shear size effect of RC beams is not significant. Based on the numerical test results in this paper, a size effect law of shear strength of CFRP-strengthened RC beams without web bars considering the debonding of CFRP sheets was proposed. The theoretical values obtained by considering the debonding of CFRP sheet are in better agreement with the test values, which on the one hand verifies the rationality and accuracy of the extended size effect law, and on the other hand indicates that the debonding of CFRP sheet should be considered in the practical simulation. © 2023 Science Press.
