Abstract:
In this paper, nine webless reinforced concrete ( RC) beams strengthened by oblique CFRP sheets (adhesion angle of 45°, CFRP ratio of 0. 0835% ) with shear-span ratios (λ was 1. 0,1. 5,2. 0) and cross-section sizes (beam heights of 300, 600, 900 mm) as the main study variables were designed and tested to investigate their shear performance. We concentrated on the examination of the variation rules of damage mode, crack extension behaviour, CFRP fabric strain, peak load, and mid-span deflection with the shear-span ratio and cross-section size based on the four-point bending loading test. The findings indicate that: the final damage mode of the beam is shear damage within the test shear-span ratio range;with the shear-span ratio increases from 1. 0 to 2. 0, the load carrying capacity of the beam decreases from 45% to 51% , the contribution of CFRP fabric to the shear load carrying capacity accounts for an increase of 23% to 28% , and the nominal shear strength of the beam's cross-section decreases from 46% to 51% ; the shear-span ratio has a relatively small effect on the trend of the beam's cross-section shear strength as it decreases. The size effect law for webless RC beams strengthened by oblique CFRP sheets was provided based on the test data presented in this study. It can be applicable to the investigation of how the shear-span ratio affects the shear performance of RC beams strengthened by CFRP sheets. © 2024 Science Press. All rights reserved.
