摘要:
A study was carried out for the fatigue behavior of corroded RC beams strengthened by non-prestressed aramid fiber reinforced polymer (AFRP) sheets and prestressed AFRP sheets with permanent anchors. Based on the fatigue test results, the effects of different pre-stress levels of AFRP sheets under different corrosion ratios (moderately corroded: reinforcement mass loss 6. 0%, severely corroded; reinforcement mass loss 12%) on the properties of the fatigue failure, fatigue life and mid-span deflection were analyzed. The major cause of the fatigue of the corroded RC beams strengthened with AFRP sheets is the fatigue fracture of the steel bars. The fatigue life of the beams strengthened with prestressed AFRP sheets was longer than that of those beams with non-prestressed AFRP sheets. The fatigue life of the moderately corroded RC beams increased with the pre-stress levels of AFRP sheets, and the fatigue life of the corroded RC beams decrease with the ratio of corrosion. The fatigue results were compared to the fatigue data of smooth bars to estimate an equivalent fatigue notch factor for the main reinforcement bars of the tested specimens. Pitting corrosion resulted in an increase in the fatigue notch factor, which in turn resulted in a significant reduction of fatigue life. Based on the experimental results of moderate corroded concrete beams strengthened with AFRP sheets, the fatigue equation was obtained, and this equation can be used in strengthened design for damaged bridge.
