Abstract Details

2013, Master of Science, Ohio State University, Civil Engineering.
An investigation of the structural behavior and corrosion resistance of hybrid fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) wrapped steel reinforcement bars for use in reinforced concrete structures. The investigation is comprised of a bar analytical model using laminate theory, an in-depth analytical model for reinforced concrete sections, and a series of experimental tests to assess the structural performance and corrosion resistance of the composite bars. A comparison between the analytical model and experimental results was conducted and general design guidelines developed. Using these guidelines, sample designs were completed using hybrid bars, stainless steel bars, and standard epoxy coated steel reinforcing bars. The designs were compared and a life cycle cost (LCC) analysis was performed to assess the economic advantages or disadvantages of the hybrid bars. Conclusions and recommendations for standard practice and design and future research are then presented.
