Abstract:ABSTRACT:The merits of high performance concrete (HPC) and fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) could be combined for using in the concrete structures to improve the structural mechanical behavior. Six beams cast with HPC and prestressed with Carbon FRP (CFRP) strands were tested and discussed in this paper. Test variables included partial prestressing ratio (PPR) of CFRP strands and material of reinforcements (steel and Glass FRP). Test results indicated that all the beams failed in two modes, i.e., compression fai… Show more
