CFRP STRENGTHENING OF BEAMS USUAL ARRANGEMENT A complete strengthening comprises the shear and flexural reinforcement of the member. Bending Carbon fiber laminates only work under tension. Hence, it s necessary to determine the position of the tensile stresses along the element. The CFRP laminates are displayed longitudinally along the concrete s surface. Shear External CFRP stirrups are displayed at the beam s ends. The wrapping scheme can be either complete (full wrapping) or partial (U-wrapping or lateral display). 15 April 2016 New Sika CarboDur software based on TR55 and Eurocode 2 Internal Use only

COLUMN CONFINEMENT POISSON S EFFECT Due to the Poisson s effect, the concrete is transversally expanded when compressed. This expansion leads to the collapse of the column, as concrete has a very limited capacity for elongation. Hence, if the transversal expansion is restricted, the final strength increases 19 April 2016 New Sika CarboDur software based on TR55 and Eurocode 2 Internal Use only
COLUMN CONFINEMENT POISSON S EFFECT To avoid the lateral expansion, its necessary to ensure a confinement around the element, by using a rigid material with a high strength. This material must keep the geometry of the member when it tries to expand. In case of strictly compressive loads alone (extremely unusual), the confinement allows surprising solutions: Gravel column? And water column? 20 April 2016 New Sika CarboDur software based on TR55 and Eurocode 2 Internal Use only

TECNICAL REPORT 55, THIRD EDITION (2014) SOME DIFFERENCES WITH RESPECT TO OTHER EXISTING GUIDELINES
FRP STRENGTHENING LIMITS TR55/EUROCODE2 Independently of any other mechanical limitation, the TR55 leads to certain restrictions before the design of the FRP: SERVICEABILITY LIMITS Reinforced Concrete Limits The effective stress for the reinforcing steel under service loads (characteristic combination) will remain below 80% of its yield point. f y 0.80 f yk THE EXISTING MEMBER MUST EXHIBIT A MINIMUM STRENGTH In the event that the FRP system is damaged, the structure will still be capable of resisting a reasonable level of load without collapse. The existing strength of the structure should be sufficient to resist a minimum level of load (frequent combination of service loads). In the event that the FRP system is damaged, the structure will still be capable of resisting a reasonable level of load without collapse. The existing strength of the structure should be sufficient to resist a minimum level of load (quasi-permanent combination of service loads). 27 April 2016 New Sika CarboDur software based on TR55 and Eurocode 2 Internal Use only
FLEXURAL STRENGTHENING TR55/EUROCODE2 SAFETY FACTORS Unlike other existing FRP codes, the TR55 uses a complex combination of 3 safety factors for the design, taking into account: The kind of FRP material. The kind of application method. The design parameters affected in the design of the FRP are: The ultimate admissible deformation. The ultimate design strength. The E-modulus of the FRP system. 28 April 2016 New Sika CarboDur software based on TR55 and Eurocode 2 Internal Use only

FLEXURAL STRENGTHENING
FLEXURAL STRENGTHENING DESIGN OF THE FRP STRENGTHENING (1) The calculation follows the standard mechanical principles (forces equilibrium and compatibility of deformations in the section among the different materials), except for the following 2 issues: 1) The section to calculate will exhibit an existing deformation prior to the strengthening, which must be considered for the design. This event may affect significantly the serviceability limits of the strengthened member. 2) The reduced FRP E-modulus will be taken into account (TR55 criteria) 0,35% Ff 31 April 2016 New Sika CarboDur software based on TR55 and Eurocode 2 Internal Use only
FLEXURAL STRENGTHENING DESIGN OF THE FRP STRENGTHENING (2) The ultimate strength of the strengthened member will be defined by one of the following limitations: Concrete crushing under compression (0,35% deformation for European codes). FRP rupture (not expected for systems based on CFRP, but possible in case of using GFRP laminates). Debonding of the FRP laminate from the substrate as a consequence of : FRP separation induced by the presence of shear cracks Debonding due to lap-shear forces along the span. Debonding due to an insufficient anchorage length. 32 April 2016 New Sika CarboDur software based on TR55 and Eurocode 2 Internal Use only
FLEXURAL STRENGTHENING DESIGN IN CASE OF NSM 33 April 2016 New Sika CarboDur software based on TR55 and Eurocode 2 Internal Use only
FLEXURAL STRENGTHENING DEBONDING DUE TO LONGITUDINAL SHEAR STRESS ALONG THE SPAN TR55 The TR55 follows the same principle as fib14; the longitudinal shear stress is evaluated between consecutive sections. The main differences are: a)the longitudinal shear strength of the concrete substrate is limited according to the location of the section: τ lim = 4, 5 f ctk 1,5 τ lim = 0, 8 f ctk 1,5 (TR55, yield zone of the span) (TR55, elastic region between anchorage zone and yield zone) b)the TR55 includes an additional longitudinal stress τ sc corresponding to the positions of flexural cracks. τ sc = 7, 8 1. 1 M y M Ed f ctk τ sc +τ b τ lim B A Original moment capacity N f,b ΔN f τ b N f,a Steel yielding τ sc 1-Anchorage 2-Elastic region 3-Yield region
FLEXURAL STRENGTHENING DEBONDING IN THE ANCHORAGE ZONE The evaluation of the end-anchorage comprises 3 steps: Step 1- Determination of the critical section from which the anchorage shall be provided Step 2- Determination of the maximum anchorage length and the maximum force that can be anchored. Step 3- In case the length available for the anchorage is inferior than the maximum, the maximum force that can be anchored must be calculated according to the existing length.
FLEXURAL STRENGTHENING STEP 1 DETERMINATION OF THE CRITICAL SECTION Fib14 (simply supported) The critical section corresponds to the outermost flexural crack of the strengthened section (shift rule according to Eurocode must be considered). Anchorage length Mcr - Cracking moment ACI440(simply supported) The critical section is point along the span corresponding to the cracking moment of the strengthened section. Anchorage length Mcr - Cracking moment TR55 (simply supported) The critical section corresponds to the point where the CFRP is no longer required. Anchorage length Mcr - Cracking moment Original moment capacity
FLEXURAL STRENGTHENING STEP 2 DETERMINATION MAXIMUM ANCHORAGE LENGTH AND MAXIMUM FORCE THAT CAN BE ANCHORED TR55 FIB14 ACI 440.2R-08 The force that can be anchored increases with increasing anchorage length l t but there is a treshold anchorage length l t max above which no increase in the bond failure force is possible. F=1 F=2 F=3 F=3 l t l t l t l t? l tmax l tmax l tmax l tmax The maximum force that can be anchored is determined as: T k,max = 0,5 k b b f (E fd t f f ctk ) N fa,max = 0,576 k b b f (E f t f f ctm )? ~50% more! The maximum anchorage length is: l t,max = 0,7 E fd t f f ctk l t,max = E ft f 2 f ctm l df = ne ft f f c
FLEXURAL STRENGTHENING SUMMARY TR55 shows a complex design methodology: the effective CFRP strain is not significantly restricted, but many verifications concerning intermediate debonding or end anchorages are necessary. The debonding possibility may force to increase the bonding surface in contact with the concrete, leading to wider/larger FRP schemes than the initially necessary.
COLUMN CONFINEMENT
Compressive Stress COLUMN CONFINEMENT PERFORMANCE OF THE FRP CONFINEMENT If the lateral expansion is constrained by means of a rigid material, the concrete will be able to take additional axial loads. This can be represented graphically as follows: Original concrete. Peak Stress corresponds to 0,2% deformation, ultimate strain 0,3%-0.35% (ACI/European codes). Confined concrete. The enhanced peak stress remains at 0.2% deformation. The ductility is significantly increased Heavily confined concrete. Performance at 0.2% deformation is enhanced. However, the concrete is still capable to assume additional load. Ultimate load is higher than peak load. 0,2% 0,3% - 0,35% Axial deformation Hence, the performance of the confined concrete depends on the confinement force exerted by the CFRP jacket: 43 April 2016 New Sika CarboDur software based on TR55 and Eurocode 2 Internal Use only

COLUMN CONFINEMENT INFLUENCE OF THE COLUMN S GEOMETRY CIRCULAR SECTIONS For a circular section, the confining pressure affects the entire section. Due to this, the efficiency of the strengthening system is significantly high. SQUARE SECTIONS For a square section, a parabolic arching action is assumed for the concrete core where the confining pressure is fully developed. Unlike a circular section, part of the cross-section remains unconfined. 46 April 2016 New Sika CarboDur software based on TR55 and Eurocode 2 Internal Use only
COLUMN CONFINEMENT INFLUENCE OF THE COLUMN S GEOMETRY RECTANGULAR SECTIONS Due to the arching effect, a significant part of the crosssection may remain unconfined. In case of long shapes, the area corresponding to the confined core may result very small (aspect ratio> 2:1) ROUNDING OF CORNERS The rounding of the corners alters the parabolic arching effect, increasing the area corresponding to the confined core. This also reduces the risk of failure of the CFRP, as most of the tensions are located in the edges of the RC 47 April 2016 New Sika CarboDur software based on TR55 and Eurocode 2 Internal Use only
COLUMN CONFINEMENT BASIS OF THE CALCULATION TR55 ACI 440.2R-08 FIB14 The confinement pressure is the main parameter to evaluate the resulting strengths of the confined column. The confinement pressure exerted by a circular column is calculated as: f l = 2 t f ε f,rup E f /D, where D corresponds to the diameter of the column. However, the key parameter is the admissible deformation of the CFRP jacket under this conditions, ε f,rup, which is limited as: ε f,rup = 0,40 ε fu ε f,rup = 0,47 ε fu exterior exposure ε f,rup = 0,52 ε fu interior exposure Undefined: proper values should be justified by experimental evidence TR55 and ACI440 lead to safe magnitudes. However, the absence of clear limitations in the FIB14 guideline may guide to unsafe calculations!! 48 April 2016 New Sika CarboDur software based on TR55 and Eurocode 2 Internal Use only

SHEAR STRENGTHENING
SHEAR STRENGTHENING INTRODUCTION Unlike the design of flexural strengthening, where standard mechanical criteria govern de calculations, the complexity of the shear mechanisms forced the development of design methods from experimental researches. Independently from the calculation procedure used, the shear strength of the member is determined as the sum of the strengths provided by the steel and CFRP separately (and concrete in ACI-based codes). 54 April 2016 New Sika CarboDur software based on TR55 and Eurocode 2 Internal Use only
SHEAR STRENGTHENING CFRP CONFIGURATIONS However, certain criteria is common among the different design methods: The CFRP is dimensioning following similar procedures than those used for the calculation of internal steel stirrups. The CFRP can be displayed following 3 different configurations: - Full wrapping, providing the best performance. - U wrapping of the beam. - Bonded on both sides of the beam. This scheme provides the worst performance. 55 April 2016 New Sika CarboDur software based on TR55 and Eurocode 2 Internal Use only
SHEAR STRENGTHENING CFRP CONFIGURATIONS Additionally, 2 more FRP schemes are possible Shear strengthening with NSM profiles (included in TR55). Due to the design approach, this alternative is not efficient in case of beams with small height. Shear strengthening with CarboShear L links (Empa report adapted to TR55 approach). Due to the TR55 limitations concerning the maximum spacing between consecutive CFRP profiles, this option may lead to oversized results. 56 April 2016 New Sika CarboDur software based on TR55 and Eurocode 2 Internal Use only

FIRE SITUATION INTRODUCTION 2 resistances are related to the fire scenario. Their limits and designation are strongly dependent of the local regulations in each country. 1-Reaction to fire is the measurement of how a material or system will contribute to the fire development and spread, as well as the emission of smoke/flaming droplets. According to their use, certain quantity and/or type of materials cannot be used for walls/floor/ceiling rendering. Concrete and steel do not contribute to the fire development, and do not generate smoke. Due to the polymer content of the CFRP and the adhesives, the reaction to fire of the strengthening system is moderate. However, under most of the circumstances, the global influence is negligible due to the limited surface covered by the laminates. 2-Fire resistance of the structural member: The load bearing capacity of the member can be assumed for a specific period of time (30 to 240 minutes usually). The fire resistance is expected to provide time to the building occupants for emergency evacuation before the structure collapses. Hence, the requested time to resist is commonly proportional to the quantity of people to evacuate and the distance to the exit. 83 April 2016 New Sika CarboDur software based on TR55 and Eurocode 2 Internal Use only
