<p>This study presents an experimental, numerical, and analytical investigation of the flexural behavior of two-way high-strength concrete (HSC) slabs reinforced with carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) bars. Seven slabs with dimensions of 1500&#xa0;mm × 1500&#xa0;mm were tested, including one steel-reinforced reference slab and six CFRP-reinforced slabs with two thicknesses, 100 and 120&#xa0;mm, and three CFRP reinforcement ratios. For the 100&#xa0;mm slabs, increasing the CFRP reinforcement ratio increased the ultimate load by 13.8% and 24.3% relative to S100-CFRP1, while the corresponding increases for the 120&#xa0;mm slabs were 31.1% and 48.0% relative to S120-CFRP1. Increasing the slab thickness from 100 to 120&#xa0;mm enhanced the ultimate load by 27.7%, 47.2%, and 52.1% for the corresponding CFRP-reinforced specimens. A mechanically normalized comparison between the steel-reinforced reference slab and the CFRP-reinforced slab with the same nominal reinforcement ratio showed that the two specimens were not mechanically equivalent.

摘要

This study presents an experimental, numerical, and analytical investigation of the flexural behavior of two-way high-strength concrete (HSC) slabs reinforced with carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) bars. Seven slabs with dimensions of 1500 mm × 1500 mm were tested, including one steel-reinforced reference slab and six CFRP-reinforced slabs with two thicknesses, 100 and 120 mm, and three CFRP reinforcement ratios. For the 100 mm slabs, increasing the CFRP reinforcement ratio increased the ultimate load by 13.8% and 24.3% relative to S100-CFRP1, while the corresponding increases for the 120 mm slabs were 31.1% and 48.0% relative to S120-CFRP1. Increasing the slab thickness from 100 to 120 mm enhanced the ultimate load by 27.7%, 47.2%, and 52.1% for the corresponding CFRP-reinforced specimens. A mechanically normalized comparison between the steel-reinforced reference slab and the CFRP-reinforced slab with the same nominal reinforcement ratio showed that the two specimens were not mechanically equivalent. The CFRP-reinforced slab had lower effective reinforcement stiffness but a higher strength-based mechanical reinforcement index, resulting in a higher ultimate load but lower deformation capacity. Crack observations confirmed flexural failure with more localized cracking in the CFRP-reinforced slabs. A nonlinear finite element model was developed in ABAQUS and validated against the experimental results, with an average ultimate-load prediction error of approximately 7.2%. Analytical predictions based on ECP 208–2019 and ACI 440.1R-15 showed average predicted-to-experimental ultimate-load ratios of 1.43 and 1.27, respectively, indicating that ACI 440.1R-15 provided closer estimates than ECP 208–2019 for the tested CFRP-reinforced slabs.
