mid-span deflection
steel fiber
• Testing of the each composite beams specimens, the deflection at the mid-
span of the beam started and increased gradually with the increasing of the
applied load.
• The final failure modes of the specimens are the flexural failure in concrete
flange after generating major cracks.
• The deflection at mid span of the original composite beam specimens of the
four groups is recorded throughout loading stages up to failure of each
beam.
Experimental Tests Result

• The result of experimental test obtained from the original bending test , the
result show that :
– the maximum average ultimate resistance of composite beam : for
group HNF, NFC, and NNF less than HFC, 1.4 , 17.8 ,27.1 %. The
higher tensile strength of concrete gained of HFC group amd increasing
of interaction due to availability of steel fiber.
– the minimum average midspan deflection is obtained in group HFC and
the other group gives average midpspan deflection more than the HFC,
29.5, 9.3, 23.1 for HNF, NFC, and NNF.
DISCUSSION
• The result of experimental test obtained from the original bending test , the
result show that :
– the slip at ends of beam give a minimum values in group HFC and the
the other group gives average slip at ends more than HFC, 18.8, 47.8
and 89,1% for group HNF, NFC, and NNF.
DISCUSSION
• after treating the damaged composite beam, the beams are reloaded and
the results :
– the maximum average ultimate resistance load and lesser average slip
at ends is obtained in group HFC , while a lesser average midspan
deflection is obtained in group HNF
– this result is comply with the conclusions stated from before
experimental, the FRP as one of the best alternatives used in
strengthening concrete structure.
