Experimental performances of RC beams strengthened with FRP materials 玻璃钢材料加强钢筋混凝土梁的实验 F.Ceroni*Engineering Dept,University of Sannio,Benevento,Italy 楼切罗尼*2. The experimental program 2.1. Geometry of specimens and test set-up The experimental program is made of flexural tests carried out on 21 RC beams; the beams are divided in two groups, labelled series A and B, respectively. All specimens were 100 mm in width, 180 mm deep and employed two bars of diameter 8 mm as internal steel reinforcement in compression. Series A and B (Fig. 1a) .differ in the internal tensile steel reinforcement and the span length: two 10 mm diameter bars with a span length L = 2.0 m for series A and two 12 mm diameter bars with a span length L = 1.8 m for series B. For all beams 8 mm diameter steel stirrups were placed along the entire length of the beam with a spacing of 150 mm. Values of inferior and superior cover were 30 and 50 mm, respectively, that furnish effective depths, d, of 150 mm and 130 mm (Fig. 1a). One beam of each series (A1, B1) was tested without any FRP strengthening in order to be used as a benchmark; moreover 16 beams were strengthened with FRP carbon sheets (EBR technique) and three beams with two FRP carbon bars (8 mm diameter) placed in two grooves realized on the bottom side of the beam (NSM technique) and then filled with an epoxy paste. Grooves were realized with a square section side 15 mm (Fig. 1b) that corresponds to an epoxy cover thickness-to-bar diameter ratio of about 1.9; this value is greater than the minimum one 1.5 suggested to avoid the splitting failure of the epoxy filler surrounding the bars (De Lorenzis and Teng [19]). Four-point bending tests were carried out for all beams; tests were performed under loading control and the load was applied by a mechanical device in two points located at 120 mm on either side of the mid-span (Fig. 2). All beams externally strengthened were pre-loaded until 9 kN and then un-loaded to obtain a cracking patter befo
