Evaluation of flexural failure for concrete beams partially reinforced by geogrid sheets
ABSTRACTThe behavior of reinforced concrete beams with biaxial and uniaxial geogrids as a partial reinforcement with traditional steel bars under flexural loads has been experimentally studied. The effect of geogrid layers with traditional steel reinforcement in concrete beam specimens in compression and tension zones has also been investigated. Geogrid is one of the geosynthetic materials that exhibits both tensile and flexural behavior similar to traditional steel. To examine the effect of geogrids on traditional steel as a composite reinforcement system, strain gauges were fixed to the concrete beams and bottom reinforcement (steel bars). The studied parameters in this investigation are the number of geogrid layers, types of geogrids, and their position in concrete beams. First cracking load, failure load, initial and post-cracking, deflection, and ductility of beam specimen were investigated. The experimental results indicated that using geogrid sheet layers as partial reinforcement greatly contributed to resisting flexural stresses of concrete beams. An increase in the ductility and the capacity load of the concrete beam specimen was also observed. Based on this experimental investigation, the geogrids can be applied as additional or alternative reinforcement with/without traditional steel bars in concrete beams.
