RC beam models wee built and subjected to bending loading until ailue; one stengthened using NSM CFRP ectangula ods, the othe un-stengthened. Dynamic tests have been done both o stengthened and un-stengthened beams to contol the dynamic esponse. The expeimental esults show dieent behaviou between stengthened and unstengthened RC beams. The compaison between expeimental esults opens a discussion concening the ollowing topics: stiness in elastic phase; ultimate capacity o beams; bond-slip eects; actual stain limits o FRP unde sevice loads and, inally, the dynamic esponse o stengthened beam. Keywods: NSM stengthening; CFRP; bond-slip; bending test; vibation tests. INTRODUCTION The use o ibes such as Fibe Reinoced Polymes (FRPs) is inceasing in civil engineeing especially in the ehabilitation and in the stengthening o RC elements. A mainsteam method o etoitting RC beams is the Nea Suace Mounted (NSM) technique which uses Fibe Reinoced Polyme (FRP) ods inseted into gooves on concete coves [1,]. The advantages o NSM FRP ods compaed to steel as stengthening is that they ae easie and quicke to assemble due to the lightness o the stengthening mateials, the slimness o the gooves attibutable to the highe taction esistance, and FRPs bette esistance to coosion. Futhemoe it epesents a convenient method o limiting a numbe o poblems linked to the use o extenally bonded FRP stips o ods stengthening. Code o pactice [3] deals shotly about NSM technique because thee ae still many open poblems such as bond mechanism o FRP ods between ods and adhesive esin and/o od-esin and concete suaces which is unknown completely [4-8].

2 aecting bond mechanism in NSM stengthening like bond length, the diamete o the ods used, the type o FRP mateial employed, ods suace coniguation, and goove size [9-11]. Moe ecently eseaches studied the behavio o stengthened beams by NSM FRP ods compaing static and dynamic esponses [1]. This pape analyses the bending behaviou o cabon-frp (CFRP) ectangula ods inseted into gooves in RC elements though static bending tests and ee vibation tests. Investigation was developed to evaluate the expeimental bending esponse o two RC beams: one beam was non-stengthened, the othe stengthened with NSM CFRP ectangula ods. The expeimental esults show dieent esponses between stengthened and unstengthened RC beams. The compaison between expeimental esults o the two RC beams un-stengthened and stengthened using NSM CFRP ectangula ods allows discussing about stiness, ultimate capacity, bond-slip eects, etc. Futhemoe, vibation analysis in ee-ee condition o beams pemits to conim the availability o NSM technique in the stengthening o RC beams. EXPERIMENTAL TESTS Beam specimens Expeimental bending tests wee caied out on two RC beams models: B and B1. Beam B was einoced with steel bas and beam B1 was einoced with steel bas and thee CFRP ectangula ods inseted into gooves. The specimens measued 1.7m in length and had a ectangula coss-section measuing 15mm x mm. They wee einoced with ou longitudinal steel bas o diamete 1mm, two in tension and two in compession, and vetical un-closed stiups o diamete 6mm, disposed at step 6mm. In Figue 1 coss section and beam B1 ae shown. (a) Fig. 1 RC beam model B1 (a) coss section at midspan; gooves in the bottom suace to inset thee CFRP ectangula ods The beams wee chaacteised by concete with a tested aveage compessive cylinde stength equal to c,av ~55N/mm and steel bas with an aveage yield stength equal to y,av. ~49N/mm. Beam B1 was einoced with thee ectangula CFRP ods o unidiectional ibes measuing 1.4mm in width and mm in height, inseted into thee gooves in the bottom suace o dimensions 6mm x 5mm, using epoxy esin with aveage 3-1

Table 1 shows the mechanical popeties o CFRP ectangula ods used in the stengthening and obtained using tensile tests (Fig. (a)) on specimens accoding to the ASTM-D 339 Standad (Fig. ). Failue inteested the entie length o the CFRP sample between edge taps (Fig. (c)); it was o the explosive bush-like type (XGM).

(a) Fig. 3 (a) Expeimental aangement o RC beam; set up o bending test The instuments used in the bending tests wee: a vetical jack to tansmit the load P and a load cell to measue P; two stain gauges, one on a steel ba and the othe on the cental CFRP od to measue deomation duing bending tests; one hoizontal linea tansduces (LVDTs) on the compessed edge concete, to ecod deomation o compessive concete; one LVDTs to measue delection at the midspan section. 3-13

Failue o beam B was due to the cash o compessive concete at the beam s midspan and to extensive cacking o concete at the tensile suace (Figs. 4(a) and ) unde a value o vetical load equal to 65.9kN. At P=4kN the stain o steel einocement in the beam was ecoded equal to about geate than yield stain. In beam B1 the ultimate load was geate than in B with a value o vetical load equal to about 1kN. At P=4kN the stain o steel einocement was equal to about lowe than yield stain. Failue occued due to the detachment and delamination o the NSM CFRP stengthening. Bond slip appeaed at the esinconcete inteace, with the detachment o the concete cove (Figs. 5(a) and ).

The solution o Eq. (1) must be an hamonic unction o time i.e.: v x, t V x sin( t () ) 4 A Intoducing Eq. () in Eq. (1), and assuming, we obtain: EI 4 d V 4 V (3) 4 dx The dieential Eq.

The B1 and B beams showed cacking phase o tensile concete at simila value o load P 3 =kn with a dieent equency vaiation to undamaged condition equal to 4.5% o B, and to 13.% o B1. Futhemoe, it is most elevant to note the tend o equency vaiation o inceasing load until the load P=5kN: in B1 beam stengthened with CFRP ectangula ods, the decease o equency values is vey low with almost stable vaiation, while in B beam thee is an incease o vaiation values. The stengthening o beam with NSM CFRP ectangula ods maintained substantially stable the width o cacks until high level o loads. CONCLUSIONS
