Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of building engineering technology, specifically to a prestressed FRP reinforced seawater sand concrete beam and its design method, which is particularly suitable for concrete structures in marine environments. Background Technology
[0002] In marine engineering, traditional reinforced concrete structures suffer from insufficient durability due to steel corrosion. Fiber-reinforced composite (FRP) bars, with their corrosion resistance and high strength, have become an ideal alternative to steel reinforcement. Furthermore, the direct use of seawater and sea sand in concrete preparation effectively addresses the shortage of river sand resources. However, FRP bars have a low modulus of elasticity, leading to larger deflections and crack widths in reinforced beams; moreover, as a linear elastic material, their failure is brittle and lacks early warning. More critically, limited by the ultimate compressive strain of concrete, the actual tensile strength utilization rate of FRP bars is typically less than 30%, resulting in material waste.
[0003] Applying prestress is an effective way to improve the utilization rate of FRP (fiberglass reinforced plastic) reinforcement and can significantly improve the load-bearing performance of beams. To improve ductility, steel-fiber composite (SFCB) reinforcement, due to its secondary stiffness after yielding, can provide good deformation capacity and failure indicators. However, studies have shown that SFCB reinforcement suffers significant prestress loss due to slippage at the interface between the internal fibers and the steel core, thus making it unsuitable for prestressing.
[0004] In terms of design theory, existing methods mostly follow the traditional reinforced concrete theory, without fully considering the bond-slip characteristics between FRP bars and concrete, the strengthening constitutive structure of SFCB bars, and the influence of the seawater environment, resulting in insufficient calculation accuracy and restricting the design and application of this type of component.
[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a prestressed FRP reinforced seawater sand concrete beam and design method that combines reasonable reinforcement form with accurate design theory, so as to systematically solve the problems of durability, ductility and design accuracy in marine environment. Summary of the Invention

[0062] Experimental Example 1: This experimental example designs a prestressed FRP-reinforced seawater sand concrete beam, the schematic diagram of which is shown below. Figure 1 For details of the cross-section reinforcement, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 4 Calculated span of the beam It is 1800mm, and the cross-sectional dimensions are... The beam structure uses fiber-reinforced high-performance seawater sand concrete with a design strength grade of C80, which incorporates 1% of mixed fibers (0.4% basalt fiber and 0.6% polypropylene fiber) to improve the toughness and crack resistance of the concrete.
[0063] The reinforcement design of the beam is as follows: a 14mm diameter prestressed CFRP bar is used as the prestressed longitudinal reinforcement in the bottom tension zone, and its tensile strength is [not specified]. 2000MPa, elastic modulus The effective prestress is 150 GPa, the tension control stress is taken as 1300 MPa, and the effective prestress is... The yield strength is 1100 MPa; two SFCB bars with a diameter of 14 mm are also configured as non-prestressed longitudinal reinforcements, with a yield strength of 1100 MPa. The elastic modulus before yielding is 450 MPa. The elastic modulus after yielding is 200 GPa. The pressure is 20 GPa. Both stirrups and stirrup bars are made of FRP material, with stirrups being 8mm diameter GFRP bars spaced 160mm apart, and stirrup bars consisting of two 12mm diameter GFRP bars. The concrete cover thickness for all longitudinal reinforcement is 20mm.
[0064] This test case uses a three-point loading method for performance verification. See the loading diagram below. Figure 3 The two loading points are 600mm apart and share the total load. .based on Figure 2The design process shown is used to design and verify the load-bearing capacity, stiffness, and crack width of the beam.
[0065] First, parameters are obtained. In addition to the geometric and material parameters mentioned above, the environmental parameter is the seawater concentration. The average bond strength between the FRP reinforcement and the concrete was measured. Average bond strength between SFCB reinforcement and concrete Standard bond strength Subsequently, based on the plane section assumption and material constitutive relations, the section equilibrium equations were established, and the height of the concrete compression zone was calculated. Prestressed CFRP tendon stress Stress of non-prestressed SFCB tendons Then, the theoretical value of the flexural bearing capacity of the normal section and the influence coefficient of seawater concentration were obtained. After correction, the design flexural bearing capacity and the corresponding ultimate load are obtained. .
[0066] In the stiffness and deflection calculations, the cracking moment and the yield moment of the SFCB reinforcement are first calculated. Then, the short-term stiffness of the beam is calculated piecewise based on the transformed section method, and the stiffness-bond influence coefficient is introduced. The stiffness after cracking is corrected to obtain the design short-term stiffness. The load-deflection curve calculated based on this stiffness is compared with the experimentally measured values, for example... Figure 4 As shown, the two match well, verifying the accuracy of the stiffness model.
[0067] Regarding crack control, the stress-relief bending moment was calculated. Under the bending moment corresponding to the service condition, the equivalent stress in the reinforcing steel was calculated. Average crack spacing and strain non-uniformity coefficient The theoretical maximum crack width was obtained. Then, the crack width bond influence coefficient is introduced. After making corrections, the final design maximum crack width was obtained. The obtained theoretical prediction curve and the crack development observed in the experiment ( Figure 7 This is consistent with the results, verifying the accuracy of the crack prediction model.
[0068] Loading tests conducted on this example beam showed that the beam ultimately failed due to the crushing of the concrete in the compression zone. Furthermore, the non-prestressed SFCB reinforcement had already entered the strengthening stage before failure, providing clear signs of plastic deformation and potential failure, effectively improving the brittle characteristics of the pure FRP-reinforced beam. The measured ultimate bearing capacity was 242 kN, with a relative error of 2.6% compared to the corrected theoretical prediction of 235.7 kN (see Table 1). Within the service load range, the beam's deflection and crack width were effectively controlled, demonstrating good consistency between theoretical calculations and measured results. Figure 4 , Figure 7 This fully demonstrates the effectiveness and reliability of the design method of the present invention in predicting the mechanical behavior of components and ensuring their performance.
[0069] Experimental Example 2: This experimental example aims to compare and study the effects of different loading methods on beam performance and to verify the applicability of the design method of this invention under single-point loading at mid-span. The beam material, cross-sectional dimensions, and reinforcement scheme used in this experimental example are exactly the same as those in Experiment 1.
[0070] The core difference between this experimental example and Experiment 1 lies in the loading method, such as... Figure 3 As shown, the three-point loading is changed to a single-point loading across the mid-span. Load It acts directly at the mid-span of the beam. Based on Figure 2 The design process shown involves recalculating and verifying the beam. First, during the parameter acquisition phase, the loading type is clearly defined as "single-point load at mid-span". Then, in the flexural capacity calculation, since the section reinforcement remains unchanged, the theoretical value of its ultimate limit state flexural capacity is... and the design values after correction for the effects of bonding and seawater concentration. Similar to Example 1, both are [values missing]. However, due to the change in loading method, the corresponding ultimate load is [value missing]. The calculation method changes accordingly, and the calculation formula is as follows: Calculations yielded .
[0071] In stiffness and deflection calculations, cracking moment and SFCB reinforcement yield moment The numerical value remains unchanged, but the calculation of short-term stiffness, especially the effective moment of inertia after cracking, needs to be based on the bending moment diagram under mid-span loading. According to the design method of this invention, for a simply supported beam under single-point loading at mid-span, the formula for calculating the maximum deflection at mid-span is: Calculations show that, under the same total load... The mid-span deflection of the beam under mid-span loading is greater than that of the beam under tri-point loading, due to its more concentrated bending moment distribution. After correction by introducing a corresponding stiffness-bond influence coefficient, the calculated load-deflection curve also shows good agreement with the experimentally measured values (see...). Figure 5This further verifies the adaptability of the stiffness calculation model to different load types.
[0072] In crack width calculation, pressure relief bending moment The average crack spacing remains unchanged. Under the same applied bending moment, the difference in the length of the pure bending segment compared to the three-point loading results in different average crack spacings. and strain non-uniformity coefficient The calculated results differ from those in Experimental Example 1. The final calculated design maximum crack width... The crack width is slightly larger than that in Experiment 1 under the same bending moment. The crack distribution observed in the experiment also confirms that under mid-span loading, the cracks are more concentrated in the pure bending section at mid-span, and the crack width development is consistent with theoretical predictions (see...). Figure 8 ).
[0073] The results of the mid-span loading test on this beam showed that its failure mode was similar to that of Test Example 1, both exhibiting crushing of the concrete in the compression zone accompanied by yielding hardening of the SFCB reinforcement, demonstrating good ductile failure characteristics. The measured ultimate bearing capacity was... , compared with theoretical predictions The relative error is 3.4%, indicating extremely high precision. Under operating conditions, the deflection and crack width increase depending on the loading method, and the theoretical calculation values are in high agreement with the measured values.
[0074] The results of this experiment demonstrate that the design method proposed in this invention is not only applicable to three-point loading, but also has accurate predictive capabilities for other typical load conditions such as single-point loading at mid-span, showcasing its wide applicability and practical engineering value.
[0075] Experimental Example 3: This experimental example aims to verify the applicability of the structural form and design method proposed in this invention to beams of different sizes, especially larger spans. Its basic structural form is the same as in Experimental Example 1, but the geometric dimensions of the beam are significantly increased. The specific design is as follows: Calculated span of the beam. Increased to 3300mm, cross-sectional dimensions adjusted to To withstand greater self-weight and loads, the beam structure still uses fiber-reinforced high-performance seawater sand concrete with a design strength grade of C80, and the fiber content remains consistent with that of Experimental Example 1.
[0076] To accommodate the increased cross-section and internal forces, the reinforcement scheme was adjusted accordingly. Two 16mm diameter prestressed CFRP bars were used in the bottom tension zone, with material properties identical to those in Experimental Example 1. The non-prestressed longitudinal reinforcement was increased to three 16mm diameter SFCB bars. Stirrups were 10mm diameter GFRP bars spaced 150mm apart; stirrups were two 14mm diameter GFRP bars. The protective layer thickness for all longitudinal reinforcement remained at 20mm. The loading method was the same as in Experimental Example 1, using a three-point loading method with a spacing of 1100mm between the two loading points.
[0077] The design method of this invention was applied to perform design calculations on this large-size beam. During the parameter acquisition phase, all geometric parameters were updated. In the flexural bearing capacity calculation, due to the increase in reinforcement and section height, the calculated height of the concrete compression zone was adjusted. Theoretical value of flexural bearing capacity of normal section Significantly improved. After correction for the same bonding and seawater concentration influence coefficients, the design flexural bearing capacity and the corresponding ultimate load were obtained. .
[0078] In stiffness and deflection calculations, the cracking moment is calculated. Due to the increased span, deflection control becomes a more critical design factor. The effective moment of inertia at each stage is calculated using the segmented stiffness model proposed in this invention. After correction using a stiffness-bond influence coefficient, the maximum mid-span deflection under the design load is calculated. The load-deflection curve obtained from the theoretical calculations shows a consistent trend with the results obtained from subsequent experimental measurements (see...). Figure 6 This verifies the effectiveness of the stiffness model for components of different sizes.
[0079] Regarding crack control, the stress-relief bending moment was calculated. Under the equivalent service bending moment, the maximum design crack width was calculated. The observed cracks were uniformly distributed, and the final crack width was close to the calculated value (see...). Figure 9 This indicates that the crack width calculation model proposed in this invention also has high accuracy for large-sized components.
[0080] Table 1. Comparison of theoretical and experimental values of flexural bearing capacity in Experimental Examples 1 to 3 of this invention ; Loading tests conducted on this large-sized beam showed that its failure mode still exhibited the characteristics of ductile failure, namely, crushing of the concrete in the compression zone and ductile failure of the non-prestressed SFCB reinforcement entering the strengthening stage. This demonstrates the ductile performance of this structural form at different scales. The measured ultimate bearing capacity was... , compared with theoretical predictions The relative error was 2.5%. In terms of performance, the development of deflection and crack width both met the design expectations and were in good agreement with the theoretical values.
[0081] The results of this experiment demonstrate that the prestressed FRP-reinforced seawater sand concrete beam and its design method proposed in this invention possess excellent scalability. By adjusting the design parameters, this technology can be successfully applied to components with larger spans. The design method maintains high calculation accuracy and reliability even with dimensional changes, providing strong technical support for its widespread application in practical engineering.
[0082] In summary, this experimental example demonstrates that the prestressed FRP-reinforced seawater sand concrete beam structure proposed in this invention is reasonable and successfully integrates high durability with good ductility. Its supporting design method is scientific, precise, and highly practical, providing a solid theoretical basis and design tool for the engineering application of this type of component in harsh environments such as the ocean.
