D/al Ree BRR BF aoe Sa (ove 500 wa E ww Fh ear D7 STATE OF ART fase ocr gh bom si Hillman introduced this hybrid composite beam (HCB n 1996 that was used forthe fist time commercially in 2008 (Corley et a, 2013), The HCB fe comprised of three min sub-componens: @ composite shel, compression reinforcement, and tension reinforcement. The shell i comprised of 9 glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) box beam, The compresson relaforcemunt unable uf sel-unsuldting concrete (SC) that is poured in a asia arch shape. The tension reinforcement consists of galvanized high strength (HS) steel tendons anchored at each end ‘within the end blocks. The concrete and steel are tucked inside the durable fibers shel and the voids are fled with 2 polysocyanurate (pose) foam, The profile of the compression reinforcement is designed to rest the compression and shear forces resuitng from vertical loads applied to the beam In much te same manner asan arch structure. Due to this unique configurstion, the fiberglass box protects the steel and concrete from the environmental effects and serves asthe formu forthe concrete arch, while the strength and stifness are provided by an efficient use ofthe stein purely ail tension, andthe concrete in purely axial compression In addition to the optimization of load carrying behavior offered by this configuration, It resuits In a lightweight"member tat can be trensported easy and erected rapidly making ths technology well sulted to Accelerated Bridge Construction (A). ‘Three recently constructed bridges in Missour incorporated HCBs in conjunction with traditional reinforced concrete eck systems, HCB is, however, quite novel. Because ofthe novelty ofthe HCB and its vague structural behavior, an ‘exploratory program tothe Missouri University of Science and Technology MSE.) in cooperation wit University of Missouri Columbia (UMC) was undertaken to evaluate the in-service beam behavior in 2014, ‘Thus, its structural behavior needs comprehensive experimental Investigation, along wth thorough, theoretical and numerical analyses. compassion Reitremane ‘nce Wh xddioa Payor Fragmentary Perspective of Hybrid-Composite Beam ‘w/a et Seo BOAR pe 200 at Hy TWN ETHCDSLOG a oe WORK PLAN + iteatue survey, Preparation of state of the Art. + Concrete Mik Design, Design of 1c. + Procurement of materials and Development of Experimental Pian, + Casting of Specimens (Cubes/Cylinders/HC8 Beams ‘+ Experimental studies on HCB with Tensioned stands ‘+ Corroboratve analytical studs + Compilation of Experimental dato, interpretation of test results ‘+ Report Preparation,Methodology ‘The fst step inthe HCB casting isthe fabriction ofthe FAP box and steel strands. The bottom shell of the beam {RP bottom flange and wet), ramplete with tension reinforcing are fabricated In one mold. The top flange is fabricated in separate mold. A three-sided box is fabricated tothe dimensions ofthe beam. Along the centerlnes ‘ofthe flange, slots are made to install channels. These channels 2et 28a line source forthe resin infusion and ‘vacuum, The layup ofthe shell consists of placing one layer of a surface vel over the entire mold surface, followed by one layer ofa distribution meta, and finaly the glass fiber layers Sevenswire high strength tendons are then laced on the top ofthe hottam flange fher layers with ends running up vertically to anchor the compresion ‘elnfurvement, Once the posc-rensloning bars are positioned, polysocyanurate foam blocks are placed within the ‘mold forming arch shape. A bag is placed on the foam blocks and inflated to keep a cavity forthe compression reinforcement. Spacers and clamps ae used tote the shell webs and ensure the dimensions ofthe eavty. Upper layer of foam blocs is placed on the top ofthe bag while sil leaving a cavity to accommodate the conerete web. ‘The entire meld is completely enclosed in layers of varnim aging fm sent with tarky tape, Vacuum i thon applied through the vacuum ports, After evacuating al ofthe a, the vinylester resin i pulled into the form by the ‘vacuum pressure and the mold is kept under vacuum. FRP bottom flange and webs ae fabricated as one mold Wile the top flange of FRM shell is fabricated seperately The FRP top flange is glued to the bottom shell using methyl methacvate adhesives. These adhesives provide strong bond that ensure thatthe lid acts compostly with the bottom shell during the arch pour and the erection ofthe Hybrid Composite Beam, Sel tapping stainless stel screws are used to futher connect the two elements. The serews are important to arrest any crack that might propagate through the adhesive bond. Finally, holes are dll Into the ld andthe bottom legs of the shear ‘orector ee then developed below the loose sands. The FAP ld top flange) fbrieated In a separate mold with ‘the same procedure Before attaching the top flange tothe bottom shel, seven-wire strands (generally two strands) are installed in the bottom ofthe arch and run the full length ofthe beam. Te wires are atached tothe strands to it them up during installation ofthe shear connectors, After Casting ofthe 3.5m-Sm beam, the load vs deflection behavior, failure patterns along with Sending, shear force, stresses, and relaxation losses wil be studied Finally, based on the experimental resuts and Corroborative analytical studies detailed technical reports wil be prepared and publications will be made.co) © (4) Layup ofthe GRP shel (b) Placement and positioning ofthe strands 2 fer ety aces re PROC 15 we tbe ar whoha perm) ats tatioas 1 PP, 0) et ee rap) 1 ef amt: 12) ee Paee Ta ea = or WAT | Ria Gana | F500 —] AsaanG | Bases S| RTT OT RT Se Ea ae Feat] TO | aS a [ae TT Bom [5 io ‘ove [ROAR RT TE (6 0 5000 10,000 ie 57D 25000 [5000 50 TR oO a ORT RET CS SRT (Pov | TORT aoe Ter Ww Re Tender | aa 200 an Eemer Ege ie FA 6 021 Te [ee See RR GoTo Sania Ea FO 8) os ene E TELIR Gy ore?
