INTRODUCTION
➢ FRP (fiber reinf. Plastic) comprises of two elements namely a
fiber and a matrix resin. The fiber used is usually carbon,
aramid, basalt, or glass while the matrix resin is composed of
polyester, epoxy, or vinyl ester (giving names to cfrp, gfrp...)
The fiber and matrix resin are combined together through pultrusion process
(pull + extrusion) :
1) Pulling: The continuous reinforcement fibers are pulled through the resin bath and
the die using a gripper. It ensures fibers are alligned in desired direction.
1) Extrusion: The die extrudes the cured composite into a specific shape. The die is a
metal mold with the desired shape of the composite.
WHY FRP OVER STEEL
WHY FRP OVER STEEL
➢ FRP bars have exceptional tensile strength. The continuous length of
reinforcing fibers gives the pultruded product exceptional tensile strength.
➢ Pultruded fiberglass bars maintain their shapes in humid or high-heat conditions. FRP
bars can be up to 30% lighter than aluminum and 70% lighter than steel. At equal weight
It is just as strong if not stronger than steel and is significantly less likely to be dented or
deformed than metals used in construction. As pultruded fiberglass bars are lightweight
and durable, they are easy to handle and transport.
➢ Pultruded products will require less heavy equipment than steel or wood during
transportation and storage. In addition, they are impact-resistant and can retain their
shapes upon impact.
➢ FRP products are resistant to a wide range of chemicals and are not affected by oxidation
or corrosion.
➢ Fiberglass bars are an effective barrier for hot or electrically-charged components.
Fiberglass-reinforced composites can have a high Glass Transition Temperature (Tg) of
about 575°F (302°C). As the highest-ranking Tg pultruded material ever tested, FRP
composites are non-conductive, chemical-resistant, and corrosion-resistant at extremely
high temperatures.
➢ So, in the event there is a fire inside the building, the support structures made out of
appropriately designed FRP composite materials will not buckle even under immense heat
and pressure.
➢ FRP composite pieces do not need to be coated with toxic chemical coatings to FRP
composite pieces, and they require little to no maintenance.
➢ With a lifecycle of 75-150 years, FRPs need little maintenance.
COLUMNS WITH FRP REBARS
➢AIM/OBJECTIVE :
❖ Making of RCC beams with FRP rebars (gfrp), and without FRP rebars (with
steel rebars), rectangular cross sections, retrofitted with gfrp.
❖ Study material properties of frp, flexural behaviour of FRP reinforced beams:
load vs deflection behaviour (experimental study) for each case, max load
carrying capacities for the columns, plotting of data and graphs and comparison
of studies for various specimens :
❖ Comparative study with non-FRP rebars, efect of FRP rebars on the RCC
column, FRP vs Steel rebars
➢ BEAM SPECIFICATIONS AND APPARATUS
❖ Rectangular section is prefered since the most efficient use of
material, I more (BM resistance more),to fabricate
❖ GRADES: M20 grade concrete is used ( C:S:A = 1:1.5:3 ), gfrp
rebars (25mm dia)
❖ UTM(loading frame structure (capacity in 40 tonnes)
❖ Computerised UTM (material properties)
❖ IS456:2000
❖ UTM(loading frame structure (capacity in 40 tonnes)
❖ Computerised UTM (material properties)
➢ TENSILE TEST FOR FRP BARS
➢ DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS
❖ MOULD specifications: L=1000mm, b=120mm, D=180mm
load capacity of UTM=40 tonnes=400kN
Grade of concrete used = M25 (1:1:2)
Yield strength of GFRP=550MPa
❖ After calculations for LOAD, MOMENT, Compression steel,
tension fibers, CHECKS :
BEAM IS TO BE DESIGNED AT DOUBLY REINFORCED BEAM
2-10mm & 1-12mm GFRP are to be provd. In Tension zone
4-10mm steel rods are to be provd. For compression zone
8mm-2LVD's@112mm(300mm max) c/c
➢ OVERALL PROCEDURE AND SUMMARY
❖Making of RCC beams with FRP rebars to desired
section
❖Getting characteristic material properties FRP used
❖Curing for 28 days max, and carrying out the tests
❖Carryig out various tests, experimentally, analytically,
numerically and graphically obtaining the data
❖Comparative study of all models
❖Conclusions and results, how FRP increases overall
efficiency of beam
