Abstract
Based on the fatigue test for flexural performance of five reinforced concrete beams, the variation characteristics of the crack development, concrete strain, steel strain, fiber strain with the cycle number of the fatigue load were analyzed, and the effect of hybrid fiber sheets and basalt fiber reinforced polymer(BFRP)sheets on flexural fatigue performance of the strengthened beam was studied. The results show that the accumulated damage of RC beams strengthened with hybrid fiber sheets was slowed down significantly, the anti-crack property was much improved, and the fatigue life was greatly prolonged. Compared with the ordinary RC beam and the RC beam strengthened with double BFRP sheets, the fatigue life of RC beams strengthened with hybrid CFRP/BFRP(C/BFRP) sheets and hybrid CFRP/GFRP(C/GFRP) sheets was increased by 291.26%, 298.63% and 10.73%, 13.53%.
