Full textIn the area of the strengthening and/or the reparation of reinforced concrete structures with composites by means of the external bonding method using an epoxy adhesive, one of the preoccupation of the scientific community is the structural integrity of this system in the event of fire in which the high temperature is the essential feature et can reach up to 1200°C. This research focuses on the thermo-mechanical behavior of composite materials [carbon/epoxy adhesive composite (or carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP), textile/cementitious mortar composite (or textile reinforced concrete (TRC)] and an epoxy-based adhesive. The evolution of mechanical properties and other mechanical aspects of these materials with the temperature has been characterized. A new experimental procedure concerning the measurement of sample strain by the laser sensor is developed and validated. An experimental and numerical study has been realized in order to mainly determine the temperature at the failure of "composite/adhesive/composite" joints under thermal and mechanical loadings. The effectiveness of the thermal protection of two insulators [PROMASPRAY®T (a commercial product of the PROMAT company and the insulator A (product developed by the LGCIE site Tuset)] has also been investigated in this PhD thesis. Finally, a numerical approach, using ANSYS software, is used to determine, in the preliminary and approximate way, at material scale, thermal properties of the materials [the textile reinforced concrete (TRC) and the insulator A]

Full textThis thesis is to demonstrate that it is possible to rehabilitate a supported reinforced concrete water reservoir with the presence of non-structural cracks using Textile Reinforced Mortar (TRM). For the development, one of the thirteen reservoirs that appear in the study for the expansion and improvement of the drinking water and sewerage systems of sectors 311, 313, 330, 310, 312, 314, 300, 307, was chosen as a sample. 319, 324, and 301 Nueva Rinconada, districts of San Juan de Miraflores, Villa María del Triunfo and Villa el Salvador. The selected reservoir is R -6A, which is approximately 30 years old and has a capacity of 750 m3. To propose the rehabilitation of the chosen structure, it was necessary to identify the origin of the failure, so in addition to the structural diagnosis obtained from the technical file of the profile, the structural configuration of the reservoir was obtained with the data taken in the field. In this way, the results found allowed to verify that the design proposed more than 30 years ago complies with the current regulations and it was verified that the failures that the reservoir presents are not structural. Likewise, the calculations allowed the location of the affected area to be known, information that was necessary to prepare the rehabilitation proposal with TRM. The alternative selected for the reservoir wall rehabilitation is the Textile Reinforced Mortar (TRM) system. In this thesis, the tests corresponding to this composite material were carried out and the procedure for rehabilitation is proposed, as well as the quality tests necessary to guarantee the appropriate use of this technology in constant development.

Full textLa tendencia global en aplicar criterios de sostenibilidad en la mayoría de ámbitos productivos, así como la limitada durabilidad y las patologías que sufren los elementos de hormigón armado, son aspectos que influyen directamente en la creciente necesidad de reforzar este tipo de estructuras. Las vigas de hormigón armado son elementos frecuentemente sometidos a esfuerzos de flexión y cortante. La evolución de las técnicas de refuerzo que permiten incrementar la capacidad resistente frente estas solicitaciones, ha consistido en el desarrollo de nuevas tecnologías que maximizan la velocidad/facilidad de ejecución de la solución y minimizan el tiempo que la estructura está fuera de servicio. En este sentido, la introducción de materiales compuestos en la construcción ha revolucionado el sector de los refuerzos estructurales. El textile-reinforced mortar (TRM) es un material compuesto que combina tejidos, hechos de fibras de resistencia a tracción elevada, y matrices de base cementítica. La principal característica de este material es que, a diferencia de técnicas como el fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP), no requiere de la utilización de resinas orgánicas para su fabricación y aplicación en las estructuras. La presente tesis ha consistido en el análisis del comportamiento mecánico y estructural de vigas de HA reforzadas a flexión y a cortante con diferentes tipos de TRM. Para lograr este objetivo, se han realizado dos campañas experimentales principales. En la primera de ellas, se han ensayado once vigas a escala real, diez de ellas reforzadas previamente a flexión con cinco tipos diferentes de TRM. En la segunda campaña, se han sometido a ensayo nueve vigas de HA, ocho de ellas reforzadas a cortante con cuatro combinaciones diferentes de tejidos y morteros. Antes de estas campañas principales, se ha caracterizado el comportamiento mecánico de todos los materiales utilizados, es decir, el hormigón, el acero, los morteros, los tejidos y el material compuesto TRM. Además, se ha realizado una campaña experimental de aproximación, basada en el refuerzo a flexión y ensayo de doce viguetas prefabricadas, que ha permitido la familiarización con la técnica de aplicación del refuerzo y la obtención de resultados, a partir de los cuales, se ha elegido las mejores combinaciones de tejidos y morteros a utilizar en las campañas experimentales principales. Utilizando los datos experimentales, se han realizado dos estudios analíticos enfocados al diseño de vigas de HA reforzadas a flexión y a cortante con TRM, respectivamente. En ambos estudios, inicialmente se ha evaluado la capacidad de predicción de tres modelos analíticos incluidos en normativas de FRP y TRM, adaptando la formulación de los códigos propuesta por fib-Bulletin 14 y ACI 440.2R-08 al caso particular de los refuerzos de matriz cementítica, y aplicando directamente la formulación propuesta por ACI 549.4R-13. En la segunda parte de los estudios, empleando los resultados experimentales obtenidos en el presente trabajo y los recopilados de investigaciones similares, se han desarrollado modelos analíticos basados en la reducción de las capacidades mecánicas de las fibras que componen los tejidos. Los resultados muestran que, en el caso del TRM aplicado como refuerzo a flexión, los especímenes logran incrementar en un 27,4% su capacidad previa a la plastificación, y en un 8,2% su capacidad última a flexión. Este incremento de prestaciones alcanza el 33,7% en el caso de las vigas de HA reforzadas a cortante. Por otro lado, los resultados del estudio analítico muestran que los modelos adaptados de las normativas de FRP presentan una mejor capacidad de predicción que el modelo desarrollado para el TRM, que se revela significativamente conservador. Por último, los modelos analíticos propuestos, basados en el ajuste de las propiedades de las fibras de los tejidos, muestran un nuevo enfoque para el diseño de refuerzos TRM en vigas de HA.
La tendència global a aplicar criteris de sostenibilitat en la majoria d’àmbits productius, així com la limitada durabilitat i les patologies que pateixen els elements de formigó armat, són aspectes que influeixen directament en la creixent necessitat de reforçar aquest tipus d’estructures. Les bigues de formigó armat són elements freqüentment sotmesos a esforços de flexió i tallant. L’evolució de les tècniques de reforç que permeten incrementar la capacitat resistent en front aquestes sol·licitacions, ha consistit en el desenvolupament de noves tecnologies que maximitzessin la velocitat/facilitat d’execució de la solució i minimitzessin el temps que l’estructura està fora de servei. En aquest sentit, la introducció de materials compostos en la construcció ha revolucionat el sector dels reforços estructurals. El textile-reinforced mortar (TRM) és un material compost que combina teixits, fets de fibres de resistència a tracció elevada, i matrius de base cementítica. La principal característica d’aquest material es que, a diferència de tècniques com el fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP), no requereix de la utilització de resines orgàniques per a la seva fabricació y aplicació a les estructures. La present tesi ha consistit en l’anàlisi del comportament mecànic i estructural de bigues de formigó armat reforçades a flexió i a tallant amb diferents tipus de TRM. Per a aconseguir aquest objectiu, s’han realitzat dues campanyes experimentals principals. En la primera d’elles, s’han assajat onze bigues a escala real, deu d’elles reforçades prèviament a flexió amb cinc tipus diferents de TRM. En la segona campanya, s’han sotmès a assajos nou bigues de formigó armat, vuit d’elles reforçades a tallant amb quatre combinacions diferents de teixits i morters. Abans d’aquestes campanyes principals, s’ha caracteritzat el comportament mecànic de tots els materials utilitzats, és a dir, el formigó, l’acer, els morters, els teixits i el material compost TRM. A més, s’ha realitzat una campanya experimental d’aproximació, basada en el reforç a flexió i assaig de dotze biguetes prefabricades, que ha permès la familiarització amb la tècnica de reforç i l’obtenció de resultats, a partir dels quals, s’han escollit les millors combinacions de teixits i morters a utilitzar en les campanyes experimentals principals. Utilitzant les dades experimentals, s’han realitzat dos estudis analítics enfocats al disseny de bigues de formigó armat reforçades a flexió i a tallant, respectivament. En ambdós estudis, inicialment s’ha avaluat la capacitat de predicció de tres models analítics inclosos en normatives de FRP i TRM, adaptant la formulació dels codis proposada per fib-Bulletin 14 i ACI 440.2R-08 al cas particular dels reforços de matriu cementítica, i aplicant directament la formulació proposada per ACI 549.4R-13. En la segona part dels estudis, emprant els resultats experimentals obtinguts en el present treball i els recopilats d’investigacions similars, s’han desenvolupat models analítics basats en la reducció de les capacitats mecàniques de les fibres que composen els teixits. Els resultats mostren que, en el cas del TRM aplicat com a reforç a flexió, els espècimens aconsegueixen incrementar en un 27,4% la seva capacitat prèvia a la plastificació, y en un 8,2% la seva capacitat última a flexió. Aquest increment de prestacions arriba fins el 33,7% en el cas de les bigues de formigó armat reforçades a tallant. Per altra banda, els resultats de l’estudi analític mostren que els models adaptats de les normatives de FRP presenten una millor capacitat de predicció que el model desenvolupat per al TRM, que es revela significativament conservador. Per últim, els models analítics proposats, basats en l’ajust de les propietats de les fibres dels teixits, mostren un nou enfoc per al disseny de reforços TRM en bigues de formigó armat

Full textThe present study investigates experimentally the effectiveness of the confinement of reinforced concrete (RC) columns with high aspect ratio (wall-like RC columns) retrofitted either with fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) or with textile-reinforced mortars (TRM) jackets. For this purpose an extensive experimental program was conducted at the Structural Materials Laboratory of the Civil Engineering Department at the University of Patras. A total of 18 identical rectangular reinforced concrete columns were constructed in a scale of 3/5 and 770 mm height so that the slenderness effects could be eliminated and tested in uniaxial compression. The columns were separated in two groups according to their aspect ratio; the first group consisted of seven RC column specimens with cross section dimensions 150mm by 450mm and an aspect ratio equal to 3, and the second group consisted of eleven RC column specimens with cross section dimensions 150mm by 600mm and an aspect ratio equal to 4. To facilitate FRP and TRM wrapping, the four corners were chamfered with a radius equal to 20mm. A number of parameters were investigated such as the kind of the matrix material (organic and inorganic), the number of layers of the jackets (1, 2, 3 and 4), the role of different cross section aspect ratios (3 and 4), the effectiveness of spike anchors (resin-impregnated fiber rovings) and local strengthening with U shape jacketing placed at the smaller sides of the columns. The first chapter provides general information on FRP materials describing their individual components, their characteristic properties, the factors affecting their behavior as well as the basic techniques for their application. The second chapter describes the composite materials in inorganic matrix (TRM) and presents a comparison between the two composite material strengthening systems. In the third chapter a brief literature review is provided about the confinement of columns with conventional techniques (e.g. steel plating, steel jacketing, RC jacketing) as well as with composite materials. The constitutional law of confined concrete with jackets of composite materials is described. Furthermore some experimental studies from the international literature are presented concerning the effectiveness of the confinement with FRP jackets of columns with small and high aspect ratio. Finally, the chapter concludes with a brief reference to experimental studies on specimens confined with jackets in inorganic matrix (TRM jackets). The fourth chapter presents the procedure for constructing and retrofitting the specimens including the materials used (carbon fiber fabric and textile, carbon fiber spike anchors, epoxy resin, inorganic matrix) as well as the equipment used for uniaxial compression tests. In the fifth chapter the results for each specimen are given presenting their failure mode and the corresponding load - displacement curve. In the following chapter the results for each group are compared in order to establish general conclusions on the effect of the kind of the matrix material, the number of layers and the existence of FRP anchors in confinement of wall-like RC columns. The seventh chapter presents the results of an analytical model used to predict the maximum compressive load and the ultimate deformation of specimens confined with FRP or TRM jackets. A comparison between the experimental and the analytical results is made and it is examined whether this model can be used for columns with high aspect ratio after modifying some of the parameters. The eighth chapter summarises the most important conclusions of all investigations carried out by the present project for both the experimental procedure and the analytical model. Finally, some suggestions for further research on columns with high aspect ratio are listed.

Full textThe subject of this thesis is the experimental investigation of the effectiveness of confining rectangular columns with large aspect ratio, reinforced with fiber reinforced polymers and with tensile reinforced mortars. The experimental program was conducted at the Laboratory of Engineering and Technology of Materials in Civil Engineering, University of Patras. This program is consisted of two sets of samples. The first included six small scale columns and the second ten. The categorization in series was based on the aspect ratio of the specimens. So specimens with aspect ratio (3: 1) were included in the first series, while the second included specimens with aspect ratio (4: 1). One specimen from each series was tested without any reinforcement and became the comparison for all the rest. Three specimens from each series were reinforced with three layers of FRP and anchors. Still, a sample from each series was reinforced with two layers of FRP, without use of anchors. Also, two columns of the second series of amplified with two layers FRP, anchors and two additional layers of FRP type U, in the two smaller sides. Finally, a sample from each series was reinforced with four layers TRM, while another one to four layers TRM and anchors.

Full textSeveral masonry structures are constructed around the world, many of them centuries old. There is a great concern in preserving and rehabilitating these structures, always maintaining their historical, cultural and social value. Many of the retrofitting methods used nowadays do not respect these values. Currently, is common to use composites, such as FRPs, to strength and rehabilitate masonry structures. These composites are composed by a matrix and fibers, being the matrices usually epoxy and the fibers commonly of carbon, glass and basalt. Although solutions using FRPs are very efficient for concrete, for masonry constructions, the behavior is not the same. The epoxy matrices are not compatible with the masonry substrate and the fibers normally used are too stiff. This problem can be solved using the Textile Reinforced Mortar (TRM) reinforcement system. This system replaces the epoxy matrix by an inorganic matrix, which is more physically and chemically compatible with masonry. Being this technique relatively new, it is necessary to make the experimental characterization of this method to understand its behavior under different circumstances. In this dissertation, the characterization of this reinforcement technique is made through experimental tests of bond, traction and shear. There are also performed tests under cyclic loading which provide further knowledge on the subject, helping understand better the behavior of the system und seismic activity. The matrix used is a commercialized hydraulic lime mortar and the fibers are of glass and steel. This work will generate new knowledge mainly on the fiber/matrix and reinforcement/substrate interface behavior in the TRM reinforcement system, necessary for the calibration of numerical models and for the future exploration and application of this reinforcement system on structural components. This work will also provide knowledge on the different tests setups and their advantages and disadvantages.
Existem várias estruturas de alvenaria construídas no mundo, muitas delas com séculos de idade. Existe uma grande preocupação em preservar e reabilitar estas estruturas, mantendo sempre o seu valor histórico, cultural e social. Muitos dos métodos de reabilitação usados hoje em dia não respeitam esses valores. Atualmente, é comum o uso de compósitos, tais como FRPs, para fortalecer e reabilitar estruturas de alvenaria. Estes compósitos são compostos por uma matriz e fibras, sendo as matrizes usualmente de epóxi e as fibras normalmente de carbono, vidro e basalto. Embora as soluções usando FRPs sejam muito eficientes para o betão, para as construções de alvenaria, o comportamento não é o mesmo. As matrizes de epóxi não são compatíveis com o substrato de alvenaria e as fibras, normalmente utilizadas, são demasiado rígidas. Este problema pode ser resolvido usando o sistema TRM (Textile Reinforced Mortar). Este sistema substitui a matriz de epóxi por uma matriz inorgânica, que é fisicamente e quimicamente mais compatível com as alvenarias. Sendo esta técnica relativamente nova, é necessário fazer a caracterização experimental deste método para entender o seu comportamento sob diferentes circunstâncias. Nesta dissertação, a caracterização desta técnica de reforço é feita através de ensaios experimentais de aderência, tração e corte. Também foram realizados ensaios com cargas cíclicas que proporcionam maior conhecimento sobre o assunto, ajudando a compreender melhor o comportamento do sistema quando sujeito a atividade sísmica. A matriz utilizada é uma argamassa de cal hidráulica comercial e as fibras são de vidro e aço. Este trabalho irá gerar novos conhecimentos principalmente sobre o comportamento da interface fibra/matriz e reforço/substrato no sistema de reforço TRM, necessários para a calibração de modelos numéricos e para a futura exploração e aplicação deste sistema de reforço em componentes estruturais. Este trabalho também fornecerá conhecimento sobre diferentes configurações de ensaio e as suas vantagens e desvantagens.

Full textThe subject of the present thesis is the experimental and analytical investigation of strengthening masonry infilled reinforced concrete (RC) frames with Textile-Reinforced Mortar (TRM). The proposed strengthening technique comprises the application of externally applied TRM layers on the infills surfaces and the connection to the surrounding RC frame members. TRM is a composite material which comprise fibers in form of textiles in combination with inorganic matrices (such as cement based mortars). The experimental campaign includes tests on small-scale specimens (i.e. masonry subassemblies) as well as on large-scale specimens (3-story masonry infilled RC frames). In the framework of the first part of the experimental campaign different methods of masonry infill-concrete connection are examined by developing and testing textile-based anchors. The parameters under investigation include mainly the type of boundary conditions at the masonry-concrete interface, the geometry and fiber volume of anchors and the type and number of layers of the textile. It is concluded that the anchors developed in this study enable the transfer of substantial tensile forces between masonry and concrete. The second part of the experimental campaign includes the application of TRM on nearly full-scale, as-built and retrofitted, 3-storey frames, subjected to in-plane cyclic loading. The results of testing a 2:3 scale, as-built frame representing typical structures with non-seismic design and detailing characteristics and of a companion frame retrofitted via TRM jacketing are compared in terms of the efficiency of the proposed technique to enhance the strength and deformation characteristics. Additionally, in order to determine the dynamic characteristics of the frames free vibration tests are performed in three different stages of their construction (bare frame; infilled-frame; retrofitted-infilled frame). It is concluded that the proposed strengthening technique is very effective in increasing the lateral strength, the deformation capacity, the initial elastic stiffness as well as the dissipating energy of the infilled frames. The last part of the thesis presents an analytical approach for modeling the behavior of TRM-retrofitted infilled RC frames under seismic loading. The model falls into the discrete diagonal-element type and is based on the use of a single-strut and single-tie elements to represent the infill panel and it builds on the results of the experimental campaign. The model is implemented in a nonlinear finite-element code, with the parameters of the diagonal elements being determined from a series of tests on TRM coupons and masonry specimens. The results of the numerical analyses are compared with the experimental data and is concluded that the model adequately accounts for the TRM-strengthening contribution to the global response of masonry-infilled frames.

Full textAtualmente, têm-se registado inúmeros eventos sísmicos que comprovaram a vulnerabilidade das paredes de enchimento inseridas em pórticos de betão armado. A vulnerabilidade é essencialmente devida à inexistência de regras de dimensionamento e à não utilização de detalhes construtivos adequados durante a construção. Por isso, é importante avaliar técnicas de reforço que possam ser implementadas nas paredes existentes ou a ser construídas, de maneira a melhorar o seu desempenho, evitando as roturas frágeis, e por outro lado possam potenciar benefícios ao nível do comportamento global do edifício à ação sísmica. Este trabalho apresenta uma sugestiva adaptação da técnica de reforço de paredes de alvenaria designada na literatura inglesa por Textile Reinforced Mortar (TRM) com vista ao melhoramento das paredes a ações fora do plano. A malha é constituída por varões compósitos cujo núcleo é ocupado por fibras resistentes que são envolvidas numa estrutura de entrançado têxtil, sendo uma alternativa ao uso de materiais compósitos aplicados através de diferentes técnicas. Esta técnica apresenta a vantagem da possibilidade de dimensionamento da constituição da malha de acordo com determinadas exigências mecânicas, através de processos de baixa tecnologia e baixo custo na sua produção. Para além da definição e otimização experimental dos varões de material compósito em termos de aderência com a argamassa de reboco, foi efetuado um estudo alargado para avaliação do desempenho como material de reforço da alvenaria sujeita a esforços de flexão. Os resultados obtidos permitiram concluir que as malhas constituídas pelos varões compósitos inseridos no reboco de alvenaria possuem boa aderência, resistência mecânica favorável e comportamento muito dúctil quando comparadas com malhas comerciais equivalentes, evitando assim a rotura brusca e potenciando o comportamento dúctil essencial ao bom desempenho sísmico.
In the recent past numerous seismic events have demonstrated the important vulnerability of masonry infill walls enclosed in reinforced concrete frames. This vulnerability is attributed to the inexistence of design rules and to the non-adequate constructive details during the construction. Therefore, it is important to evaluate strengthening techniques that can be implemented on existing walls or to be built aiming at improving the seismic behavior by preventing fragile failure modes and that can potentiate the good global seismic behavior of reinforced concrete frames structures. This study provides a suggestive adaptation of the technique known as Textile Reinforced Mortar (TRM), aiming at improving the out-of-plane behavior of the masonry infill walls. The fabric comprises textile composite rods with a reinforced nucleus and is an alternative technique to the use of other composite materials applied with distinct techniques. This technique has the advantage of designing the constitution of the mesh according to certain mechanical requirements, involving of low production technology and low cost production. Besides the definition and experimental optimization of the of the textile reinforced composite material in terms of adherence to the involving mortar, an enlarged experimental program was carried out for the evaluation of its mechanical performance as a strengthening material of masonry infill subjected to flexure. The results showed that the meshes formed by composite rods embedded in the mortar plastering have good adhesion, mechanical strength and a very ductile behavior, when compared to equivalent commercial meshes, thus avoiding the sudden collapse and promoting the ductile behavior, which is essential to the good seismic behavior.

Full textThe effectiveness of a new structural material, namely Textile-Reinforced Mortar (TRM), was investigated experimentally in this PhD Thesis as a means of confining old-type reinforced concrete (RC) columns with limited capacity due to bar buckling or due to bond failure at lap splice regions. Comparisons with equal stiffness and strength fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) jackets allow for the evaluation of the effectiveness of TRM versus FRP. Tests were carried out on nearly full scale non-seismically detailed RC columns subjected to cyclic uniaxial flexure under constant axial load. Thirteen cantilever-type specimens with either continuous or lap-spliced deformed longitudinal reinforcement at the floor level were constructed and tested. Experimental results indicated that TRM jacketing is quite effective as a means of increasing the cyclic deformation capacity of old-type RC columns with poor detailing, by delaying bar buckling and by preventing splitting bond failures in columns with lap-spliced bars. Compared with their FRP counterparts, the TRM jackets used in this study were found to be equally effective in terms of increasing both the strength and deformation capacity of the retrofitted columns. From the response of specimens tested in this study, it can be concluded that TRM jacketing is an extremely promising solution for the confinement of RC columns, including poorly detailed ones with or without lap splices in seismic regions. Moreover this PhD Thesis presents the results of a large-scale experimental program aiming to study the behavior of RC columns under simulated seismic loading, strengthened in flexure (of crucial importance in capacity design) with different types and configurations of near-surface mounted (NSM) reinforcing materials. The role of different parameters is examined, by comparison of the lateral load versus displacement response characteristics (peak force, drift ratios, energy dissipation, stiffness). Those parameters were as follows: carbon or glass fiber-reinforced polymers (FRP) versus stainless steel; configuration and amount of NSM reinforcement; confinement via local jacketing; and type of bonding agent (epoxy resin or mortar). The results demonstrate that NSM FRP or stainless steel reinforcement is a viable solution towards enhancing the flexural resistance of reinforced concrete columns subjected to seismic loads. With proper design, which should combine compulsory NSM reinforcement with local jacketing at column ends, it seems that column strength enhancement does not develop at the expense of low deformation capacity.
