This type of organic FRP external reinforcement technology has advantages such as light weight, high strength, and convenient construction, and has been widely used in engineering. However, FRP itself is an organic polymer material with poor high-temperature resistance, and its performance is easily degraded or even failed under high-temperature environments such as fires. Furthermore, existing reinforcement layers composed of FRP bars and cement-based materials still suffer from the problem of cracking of the cement-based material in the tension zone, affecting the stability of the reinforcement effect. Additionally, the interfacial bonding between the FRP bars and the cement matrix is ​​weak, and peeling or slippage may occur under long-term loads or environmental effects, further weakening the overall cohesive load-bearing capacity.

[0021] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the invention. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described herein can be combined with each other. The present application will now be described in detail with reference to embodiments.

[0022] In recent years, inorganic reinforcement technology has gradually developed. Its basic idea is to add a composite reinforcement layer consisting of FRP bars and high-performance cement-based materials to the surface of reinforced concrete beams, combining the high strength of FRP with the high-temperature resistance of cement-based materials. This type of composite inorganic reinforcement system, to a certain extent, balances load-bearing capacity and fire resistance, becoming a promising new solution to replace traditional FRP external reinforcement.

[0023] However, the inorganic reinforcement layer composed of FRP bars and cement-based materials in related technologies still has certain shortcomings: First, FRP bars, as a high-performance material, are expensive and not conducive to large-scale engineering applications; second, cement-based materials are prone to cracking in the tension area, affecting the stability of the reinforcement effect; in addition, the interfacial bonding performance between FRP bars and cement matrix is ​​weak, and peeling or slippage may occur under long-term load or environmental action, further weakening the overall cooperative load-bearing capacity.

[0024] To address the aforementioned problems, embodiments of this application provide a reinforced beam strengthened with decommissioned wind turbine blades, such as... Figure 1-3 As shown, it includes: A reinforced concrete beam 1 has a plurality of grooves 14 on at least one surface, and the plurality of grooves 14 are spaced apart along the length direction of the reinforced concrete beam 1. The reinforcing layer 2 includes reinforcing bars and a cement-based composite matrix 23. The reinforcing bars are embedded inside the cement-based composite matrix 23 to form a reinforcing skeleton. Multiple protrusions 24 are provided on the surface of the cement-based composite matrix 23. The multiple protrusions 24 are spaced apart along the length direction of the cement-based composite matrix 23, and the multiple protrusions 24 are correspondingly embedded in multiple grooves 14 so that the reinforcing layer 2 is connected to the reinforced concrete beam 1 to obtain a reinforced concrete beam. The reinforcing bars are obtained by disassembling and cutting the main beam of the retired wind turbine blade.

[0025] Understandably, multiple grooves 14 are opened on the surface of the reinforced concrete beam 1 to form a stepped toothed rough surface, and multiple protrusions 24 are set on the surface of the cement-based composite matrix 23 of the reinforcement layer 2 to form a stepped toothed rough surface. Through the interlocking of the concave and convex surfaces, the reinforcement layer 2 and the reinforced concrete beam 1 can be anchored, improving the anchoring performance and reducing the relative slippage between the interfaces.

[0026] The embodiments of this application employ a reinforced beam reinforced with decommissioned wind turbine blades, which solves the problems of high cost and weak interfacial bonding performance of existing reinforced beams, making them prone to slippage. By disassembling and cutting decommissioned wind turbine blades to form the reinforcing ribs of the reinforced layer, the traditional high-cost FRP rib material is replaced. On the one hand, this solves the problems of difficult recycling and disposal of wind turbine blades, which is conducive to the high-value reuse of decommissioned wind turbine blades and the resource-based and functional reuse of waste composite materials, which has significant environmental benefits and sustainable development value. On the other hand, it reduces the cost of the reinforced layer. By setting a groove structure on the reinforced concrete beam 1 and a corresponding protrusion structure on the reinforced layer, the concave-convex fit enhances the mechanical interlocking and interfacial anchoring ability between the reinforced concrete beam 1 and the reinforced layer, significantly improving the interfacial shear resistance and anti-slip performance, overcoming the problem of easy peeling or failure of the interface of traditional reinforced layers, and ensuring the stable and reliable performance of long-term service.

[0027] In some embodiments, the number of protrusions 24 is the same as the number of grooves 14, and the distance between two adjacent protrusions 24 is equal to the distance between two adjacent grooves 14, and the positions of the protrusions 24 and the grooves 14 correspond one-to-one.

[0028] In this embodiment, the number of protrusions 24 and grooves 14 are the same and the spacing is equal, which can ensure that the protrusions 24 and grooves 14 can reliably fit together, thereby enabling the reinforced concrete beam 1 and the reinforcement layer 2 to reliably mechanically interlock, and improving the anchorage capacity between the reinforced concrete beam 1 and the reinforcement layer 2.

[0029] In a preferred embodiment, the height of the protrusion 24 is equal to the depth of the groove 14, the width of the protrusion 24 is equal to the width of the groove 14, the height of the protrusion 24 is 4-6 mm, the width of the protrusion 24 is 5-8 mm, and the distance between two adjacent protrusions 24 is 8-10 mm.

[0030] Specifically, the height of the protrusion 24 or the groove 14 may be, but is not limited to, 4mm, 5mm or 6mm, the width of the protrusion 24 or the groove 14 may be, but is not limited to, 5mm, 6mm, 7mm or 8mm, and the distance between two adjacent protrusions 24 or two adjacent grooves 14 is 8mm, 9mm or 10mm. The dimensions of the protrusions and grooves in this embodiment are beneficial to improving the mechanical bonding and anchoring performance between the subsequent reinforcement layer 2 and the original reinforced concrete beam 1.

[0031] In some embodiments, the reinforcing bars include longitudinal square bars 21 and transverse square bars 22. The tensile strength of each of the longitudinal square bars 21 and the transverse square bars 22 is 800-1400 MPa, the elastic modulus of each of the longitudinal square bars 21 and the transverse square bars 22 is 30-70 GPa, the cross-sectional height of each of the longitudinal square bars 21 and the transverse square bars 22 is 4-6 mm, and the cross-sectional width of each of the longitudinal square bars 21 and the transverse square bars 22 is 6-10 mm.

[0032] In this embodiment, the reinforcing bars include longitudinal square bars 21 and transverse square bars 22, both of which have excellent mechanical properties.

[0033] In some embodiments, the fiber extension direction of the longitudinal square bar 21 is consistent with the axis of the longitudinal square bar 21, and the fiber extension direction of the transverse square bar 22 is consistent with the axis of the transverse square bar 22.

[0034] In this embodiment, the fiber extension direction of the longitudinal square bar 21 is aligned with the axis, and the extension direction of the transverse square bar 2 is aligned with the axis. This is beneficial to make full use of the anisotropic properties of fiber-reinforced composite materials, so that their extremely high tensile strength and elastic modulus can be fully utilized in the axial direction, thereby most effectively bearing the tensile stress caused by bending deformation and significantly improving the overall axial stiffness and crack resistance of the reinforcement layer.

[0035] Furthermore, the thickness of the cement-based composite matrix 23 is 25–80 mm, and the tensile fracture strain of the cement-based composite matrix 23 is 1.5–3.0%, which is beneficial to significantly improve crack resistance and energy dissipation capacity.

[0036] The engineering cement-based composite matrix used has a high tensile fracture strain (1.5% to 3.0%), which works in conjunction with the high-strength retired blade square reinforcement to effectively suppress cracking of the reinforcement layer, improve ductility and energy dissipation capacity. The integral cast-in-place reinforcement layer can significantly enhance the bending stiffness and load-bearing capacity of the reinforced component, and is suitable for the high-performance reinforcement requirements of bending components.

[0037] In some embodiments, the reinforced concrete 1 is composed of a frame formed by longitudinal steel bars 11 and stirrups 12, and concrete 13 poured inside and outside the frame.

[0038] In summary, the reinforced beam structure of the embodiments of this application not only realizes the resource reuse of retired wind turbine blades and improves the green and low-carbon performance of structural reinforcement, but also significantly improves the load-bearing capacity, durability and crack resistance of the structure through the synergistic effect of inorganic materials and high-performance reinforcing bars, and has good engineering applicability and promotion prospects.

[0039] In practical construction, the processing method of the reinforced beam using decommissioned wind turbine blades in the embodiments of this application is as follows: The reinforced concrete beam 1 requiring reinforcement undergoes surface treatment. Adherence and loose layers on the bottom surface of the original concrete are removed. A groove 14 is formed at the reinforcement area using an electric chisel or mechanical cutting equipment, resulting in a stepped toothed rough surface to improve the bonding and anchoring performance between the subsequent reinforcement layer 2 and the original structure. The height of the groove 14 is 4–6 mm, the width is 5–8 mm, and the spacing between two adjacent grooves 14 is 8–10 mm. According to the design requirements, reinforcing bars are set in the reinforcement area. The reinforcing bars are made of glass fiber reinforced resin composite square bars, including longitudinal square bars 21 and transverse square bars 22. These square bars are obtained by disassembling and cutting the main beam of the retired wind turbine blade. The longitudinal square bars 21 and transverse square bars 22 each have a cross-sectional height of 4-6 mm and a width of 6-10 mm, and have a tensile strength of 800-1400 MPa and an elastic modulus of 30-70 GPa. A pre-mixed, uniformly applied high-toughness engineering cement-based composite matrix 23 is applied to the surface of the reinforcing bar using either a spraying or layered application method. The cement-based composite matrix 23 has a thickness of 25–80 mm, exhibits good formability and workability, and possesses a tensile fracture strain of 1.5–3.0%, effectively enhancing the deformation capacity and crack control performance of the reinforcement layer. Finally, after spraying or plastering, the reinforcement layer should be wet-cured for no less than 7 days according to the specifications to ensure that the material reaches the design strength. After curing, it can be put into normal use to form a reinforced composite structural beam.

[0040] Secondly, embodiments of this application provide a method for determining the bending stiffness of a reinforced beam reinforced with decommissioned wind turbine blades, specifically including: S10.

[0048] In summary, the method for determining the bending stiffness of the reinforced beam reinforced with decommissioned wind turbine blades in the embodiments of this application can reliably calculate the bending stiffness of the reinforced concrete reinforced beam with interface slippage between the reinforced concrete beam 1 and the reinforcement layer 2. K f This facilitates the design of reinforcement methods for reinforced concrete beam 1 according to actual working conditions during actual processing, thereby further improving the stability and reliability of reinforced concrete reinforced beams.

However, it should be noted that since the bond between the two cannot completely transfer the shear force in the initial stage, this part of the stiffness needs to be reduced, hence the introduction of a reduction factor. β Then, considering the flexural stiffness of both reinforced concrete beam 1 and reinforcement layer 2 under the condition of slippage.
