In the design of flexural strength, the strength reduction factor φ decreases from tension- -controlled sections to compression-controlled sections to increase safety with decreasing ductility. This paper presents how to determine the reduction factor for flexural strength of reinforced concrete beams according to ACI code. In the reliability-based design, the reliable prediction of the flexural strength of reinforced concrete members is assured by the use of reduction factors corresponding to different target reliability index β. In this study, for different β and coefficients of variation of the flexural strength parameters, the flexural strength reduction factor has been investigated by using experimental studies available in the literature. In the reliability analysis part of the study, the first-order second moment approach (FOSM) has been used to determine the reduction factor. It has also been assumed that the random variables are statistically independent.

Recycling of plastic wastes helps in reducing waste disposal problems and helps for the sustainable development of the country. Concrete with various % (0 to 55%) of waste plastic aggregates were tested for their mechanical strength properties. In the present work, plastic aggregates obtained as end product of a polymer recycle industry in the form of grains called as plastic aggregates are used as fine aggregate replacements in concrete. The addition of plastic aggregate as fine aggregate replacements results in increase in compressive strength, split tensile strength and flexural strength and thus helps in production of sustainable concrete. It is observed that, the optimum % of replacement of sand with waste plastic waste is 40% and it is also found that upto55% of sand replacements with plastic wastes, mechanical strength values are comparable with that of the normal concrete.

W opracowaniu omówiono wybrane właściwości kompozytowych prętów FRP (Fiber Reinforced Polymer) stosowanych do zbrojenia zginanych belek betonowych. Przedstawiono korzyści wynikające z zastosowania tego typu prętów jako zbrojenia głównego zginanych elementów oraz zaprezentowano możliwości ich zastosowania. Przeanalizowano również dostępne zalecenia dotyczące projektowania elementów zbrojonych prętami FRP oraz założenia jakie należy uwzględnić podczas procedury obliczeniowej. Wymieniono możliwe do wystąpienia mechanizmy zniszczenia zginanych belek betonowych zbrojonych prętami FRP oraz podano ich ogólną charakterystykę. Analizie poddano również procedury do wymiarowania kompozytowego zbrojenia FRP w belkach zginanych wg zbiorów zaleceń amerykańskich ACI 440.1R-06, 2006 oraz włoskich CNR-DT 203/2006. Wykonano analizę obliczeniową na podstawie zaleceń zawartych w obu zagranicznych normach tj. ACI oraz CNR-DT. W wyniku danej analizy określono różnice w otrzymanych nośnościach na zginanie dla belki betonowej zbrojonej prętami wzmocnionymi włóknem szklanym GFRP (Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymers). Podczas obliczeń uwzględniono współczynnik redukujący nośność na zginanie, zależny od mechanizmu zniszczenia elementu. W oparciu o uzyskane wyniki wykazano, że dany współczynnik zapewnia bardzo duży zapas nośności. Na podstawie przeprowadzonej analizy stwierdzono, że różnica pomiędzy wynikami uzyskanymi w drodze obliczeń przy zastosowaniu się do obu zaleceń projektowych była nie większa niż 8%. Natomiast po uwzględnieniu współczynnika redukującego nośność zmniejszyła się o 35%, co w sumie zwiększyło różnicę do około 40%.

In this paper the selected properties of FRP bars (Fiber Reinforced Polymer) applicable to flexural reinforced concrete members were discussed. The benefits of using this type of bars as a main reinforcement of flexural members and the possibilities of their application were presented. The available recommendations and instructions for the design of flexural members reinforced with FRP bars and assumptions of the calculation procedure were analyzed. The possible failure modes of FRP reinforced concrete and their general characteristics were presented. The design procedures of members reinforced with FRP bars according to the recommendations of the American ACI 440.1R-06, 2006 and the Italian CNR-DT 203/2006 were analyzed and compared. Analysis based on the recommendations included in the ACI and CNR-DT was performed. As a result, the differences of moment resistance of beam reinforced with GFRP bars (Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymers) were determined. During calculations the strength reduction factor depending on the failure modes was considered. It was found that the factor provides a large capacity reserve. In the present case the difference between the obtained by calculation results were not greater than 8%. However, after considered the strength reduction factor, the moment capacity was reduced by 35%, which increased a total difference to about 40%.

While there are many experimental investigations focusing on seismic behaviour of fibre reinforced concrete (FRC) columns, the studies regarding the accuracies and conservativeness of existing seismic strength models of FRC columns are limited. This paper presents a seismic research database of 322 FRC columns obtained from a comprehensive literature investigation. The characteristic of the database and the effects of main variables on the seismic strengths of FRC columns are analyzed in detail, the accuracies of existing strength models of FRC column are also examined as well. In addition, using the database, considering the effects of fibre and other structural factors on FRC columns, Priestley et al. shear and CFB-FIP moment models are modified respectively. Results show that the two proposed strength models both present better evaluation than other models. On the other hand, a detailed method for assessing the potential failure mode of FRC column subjected to seismic loads is also suggested using the two strength models. The comparative results verify the feasibilities and accuracies of the assessment method in FRC columns.
