Experimental Study on Strengthening of Concrete Cylinders Using GFRP Sheets with Boron Carbide-Epoxy Composite
2021
Overview
Usage of composite materials as a concrete strengthening agent had increased evidently in recent years. One of those materials is the Glass Fibre Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) which is used in various fields for strengthening and retrofitting of concrete structures. Various studies have shown that, the wrapping of concrete specimens with Glass Fibre Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) resulted in increase in the Compressive Strength as well as the ductility of the concrete members. The main Objective of this project is to enhance the axial compressive strength of concrete block wrapped by Glass Fibre Reinforced Polymer sheets tested with various compositions of Boron Carbide (B4C) mixed with epoxy resin to find out the increase in the compressive strength. Cylindrical Concrete specimen of standard size 150mm diameter and 300mm height were casted of M30 Grade Concrete. Totally 6 batches were casted which consists of 18 specimens composing of different compositions of Boron Carbide varying 1.5%, 3.0%, 4.5% and 6.0% of boron carbide (B4C) were added and mixed with epoxy resin. Finally, Glass fibre Reinforced Polymer is wrapped around the Concrete specimen with a single wrap and the results obtained from Compressive strength of the specimens were studied.
