Weight Reduction and Strengthening Of RC Beam Using CFRP and GFRP Layers by ANSYS 15.0
Journal Title: International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology (IJRASET) - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 4
Abstract
The current paper focuses on the study of RC beam with FRP as external layers. CFRP and GFRP as FRP materials are considered during the current work to study their behaviour on the deformation, strain and weight by means of ANSYS 15.0. Different geometries of concrete beam are drawn having numbers of laminates of FRP, considering all the geometries have outer dimensions. Effect of number of layers is also correlated with control beam having no FRP layers. The outcomes specify that total deformation decreases after giving FRP layers within the reinforced concrete. Total of maximum strain developed into the beam is also appeared to be decreases with accumulation of FRP layers and beam having three FRP layers shows minimum maximum strain. Among the Two FRP materials (CFRP and GFRP) considered CFRP shows better results correlated to the GFRP. Results also reveal that with increment in the load applied, beam through CFRP as external layer shows better performance correlated to all other cases.
