The approach is based on a flexible, multi-layered formwork system, which consists of glass-fibre reinforced plastic (GFRP). Using the unusual structural behavior caused by anisotropy, these GFRP formwork elements permit a specific adjustment of defined curvature. The system design of the developed GFRP formwork and the concrete-lightweight-elements with stabilized spacer fabric was examined exhaustively. Prototypical curved freeform surfaces with different curvature radii were designed, numerically computed and produced. Furthermore, the fabric’s contour accuracy of the fabric was verified, and its integration was adjusted to loads.展开更多

To study compressive behaviours of these novel members, eight CFSTFs and two SSC-filled SS tubular columns(CFSTs)were tested under axial compression. Their axial load-displacement curves, axial load-strain curves in SS or FRP tubes were obtained, and influences of key test parameters(the existence of glass FRP(GFRP) tubes, steel tube shapes, and GFRP tube thicknesses and diameters) were discussed. Further, specimen failure mechanism was analyzed employing the finite element method using ABAQUS software. Test results confirmed the excellent ductility and load-bearing capacity of CFSTFs. The existence of GFRP tubes inside can postpone SS tube buckling, and the content of inner FRP tubes, particularly increasing diameters, was found to improve compressive behaviours. GFRP contents helped develop the second elastic-plastic stage of the load-displacement curves. Furthermore, the bearing capacity of CFSTFs with a circular cross-section was approximately 26% higher than that with a square cross-section, and this difference narrowed with the increase in GFRP ratios.展开更多

Working with anisotropic material requires consideration of specific parameter definition in order to tailor a well-engineered composite structure. These parameters include geometry design, strain rate sensitivity, material properties, laminate design, interlaminar fracture toughness and off-axis loading conditions which are reviewed in this paper to create a comprehensive data base for researchers, engineers and scientists in the field. Each of these parameters influences the structural integrity and progressive crushing behaviour. In this extensive review each of these parameters is introduced, explained and evaluated. Construction of a well-engineered composite structure and triggering mechanism to strain rate sensitivity and testing conditions followed by failure mechanisms are extensively reviewed. Furthermore, this paper has mainly focused on experimental analysis that has been carried out on different types of FRP composites in the past two decades.展开更多

In the present research, five RC beams were constructed, and four of which were retrofitted using various schemes of FRP sheets. All beams were subjected to quasi-static cyclic loading in an attempt to represent the effect repetitive loading. The ultimate load, and deflection response at mid-span of the beams were measured and compared with predictions of a computational model based on finite element analysis. Experimental results demonstrated that hybrid applications of FRP sheets can improve the shear performance of retrofitted RC beams and increase the ultimate strain of the FRP sheets at failure. The results of the computational model were in reasonable agreement with the corresponding experimental results.展开更多

Slip systems and fibers deforming compatibly with overall strain are used as equivalent energyconsumers distributed uniformly in the same direction as the replaced micro objects. The equivalent energy-consumers with similar orientation are treated as an elasto-plastic component with only one deformation degree of freedom, so the incremental stiffness tensor is explicit and convenient for numerical analysis. The effect of loading paths on macro mechanical behavior of material under complex loading conditions can be simulated because the combined responses of components with different orientations are sensitive to loading history.We have also investigated how to determine parameters in the force-response functions of the equivalent energy-consumers and coefficients for cross-hardenlng effect and Bauschinger effect on the basis of conventional material tests. Examples are given to show that the predicted macro elasto-plastic behavior and subsequent yield surfaces of materials under various loading conditions are in excellent agreement with experiments.展开更多
