Abstract:
Through uniaxial tensile tests, the mechanical behavior of bone shaped concrete reinforced with glass textile and carbon textile
impregnated with epoxy resin was verified using a stress-strain
response curve. It was observed that elements reinforced with
glass fabric presented different mechanical responses depending
on the textile reinforcement rate. In samples with two layers of
glass fabric, three stages were formed, as predicted in the literature.
In the specimens reinforced with only one layer, the structural
incapacity of the element was observed. For samples reinforced
with carbon textile, there were problems with slipping and spalling
caused by the concentration of stress at the ends of the piece. Even
so, it was possible to clearly determine the three stages in the curve
response of the material. The stresses experimentally obtained in
the elements reinforced with carbon textile obtained results approximately five times greater than those of the glass fabric.
