Repair of heat-damaged reinforced concrete slabs using fibrous composite materials
Research highlights ► Exposure of reinforced concrete slabs to an elevated temperature of 600°C resulted in their cracking and upward cambering. ► Heat-treated reinforced concrete slabs experienced significant loss in its flexural capacity. ► External bonding of fiber reinforced polymeric sheets to heat-damaged concrete slabs contributed significantly to regaining their original flexural capacity. ► Fibrous grout layers cast at the tension side of heat-damaged reinforced concrete beams imparted limited contribution to regaining flexural strength and stiffness. ► Beams repaired with FRP sheets and fibrous grout layers experienced significant reduction in ductility hence toughness.
Abstract Sixteen under-reinforced high strength concrete one-way slabs were cast, heated at 600°C for 2h, repaired, and then tested under four-point loading to investigate the coupling effect of water recuring and repairing with advance composite materials on increasing the flexural capacity of heat-damaged slabs. The composites used included high strength fiber reinforced concrete layers; and carbon and glass fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP and GFRP) sheets. Upon heating then cooling, the reinforced concrete (RC) slabs experienced extensive map cracking, and upward cambering without spalling. Recuring the heat-damaged slabs for 28days allowed recovering the original stiffness without achieving the original load carrying capacity. Other slabs, recured then repaired with steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC) layers, regained from 79% to 84% of the original load capacity with a corresponding increase in stiffness from 382% to 503%, whereas those recured then repaired with CFRP and GFRP sheets, regained up to 158% and 125% of the original load capacity with a corresponding increase in stiffness of up to 319% and 197%, respectively. Control, heat-damaged, and water recured slabs showed a typical flexural failure mode with very fine and well distributed hairline cracks, propagated from the repair layers to concrete compression zone. RC slabs repaired with SFRC layers failed in flexural through a single crack, propagated throughout the compression zone, whereas those repaired with CFRP and GFRP experience yielding failure of steel prior to the composites failure.
