Reinforcement of reinforced concrete structures with composite materials

Abstract

Composite materials are becoming more widespread in many areas of the national economy, including in construction, due to their high strength parameters with low weight characteristics. Currently, composite material is the most promising material in building. The use of composite materials in construction for the manufacture, reinforcement and repair of reinforced concrete structures facilitates their lightening, allows varying the physical and mechanical characteristics by positioning the composite base in the desired direction. Therefore, consideration of the issues of reinforcing floor slabs commonly used in construction with composite materials is an important and relevant topic. The use of composite materials in reinforced concrete elements provides increased crack resistance and stiffness of reinforced concrete elements. This is due to the localization and redistribution of deformations in the stretched zone.
