| Popis: | This paper provides an experimental study of a new fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP)-high strength concrete (HSC) hybrid beam, which consists of a glass FRP (GFRP) I-shaped profile beam strengthened with a layer of HSC on top and carbon FRP (CFRP) sheets on the web. In this study, a total of two GFRP I-shaped profile beams, two GFRP I-shaped profile beams strengthened with CFRP sheets on the web and nine FRP-HSC hybrid beams were tested under four-point bending loading. The test parameters varied for the existence of CFRP sheets, the flange width of the GFRP profile, the width of the HSC slab, the type of shear connectors and the interfacial connection method. The test results indicated that bonding CFRP sheets, increasing the flange width and HSC slab width all showed positive effect on the ultimate bearing capacity and initial rigidity. Compared with U-shaped GFRP shear keys and inverted T-shaped GFRP shear keys, the hybrid beams using steel bolts had the highest ultimate load capacity and initial rigidity. The hybrid beams using the composite-bond interface (CB) performed better than the hybrid beams using wet-bond (WB) and dry-bond (DB) interfaces. |
