EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION FOR THE BEHAVIOR OF HOLLOW CORE CONCRETE SLAB REINFORCED WITH HYBRID REINFORCEMENT

Authors

Abstract
This paper provides an experimental study to investigate the effect of hybrid reinforcement on the behavior of hollow core slab casted with NSC. Experimental results showed that using of hybrid reinforcement (CFRP and steel bars) as internal reinforcement give better results of ductility compared with HCS reinforced with CFRP bars only. On the other hand, using of CFRP bars as an internal reinforcement have slightly effect on the shear strength capacity of hollow core slab. On the other hand, CFRP reinforcement lead to decrease the stiffness of slab at post cracking stage; therefore, deflection will increase at the same load after cracking.
