Abstract With the development of recycled aggregate concrete (RAC), the recovery rate of construction waste is improved, and the pollution problem is alleviated. In particular, RAC beams strengthened with prestressed carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP) can exhibit improved mechanical properties, expanding RAC application. Four groups of reinforced RAC beam specimens contained 0%, 40%, 70%, and 100% recycled coarse aggregate, respectively. Each group of beams was first pre-cracked and then strengthened by prestressed CFRP with one layer and two layers respectively. Finally, the bearing capacity tests were performed for these beams. The test results show that as the recycled coarse aggregate content increases, the cracking moment and ultimate load capacity of the beam decrease, while its crack width increases. As the CFRP layer increases, the deformation and crack width of the beam decreases, while the number of cracks increases. The prestressed CFRP also exhibited tensile and peeling failure. A beam deflection calculation model was established by introducing a coefficient k representing the interaction between recycled aggregate and CFRP. The influence coefficient of concrete elongation on the crack width and average crack spacing of the beam was modified, and the crack width analysis model of the beam was established. The calculated results are in good agreement with the experimental observations. It can provide reference for the application and design of recycled concrete beams strengthened with prestressed CFRP. |
