| description | To explore the effect of adding bamboo fiber and steel wire mesh to BFRP bar-reinforced concrete beams on their flexural performance, we designed and fabricated six test beams with different parameters. Through flexural tests and numerical simulations, the effects of bamboo fiber length and steel wire mesh layout on the crack resistance, deformation capacity, and flexural ultimate bearing capacity of BFRP bar concrete beams were assessed. The feasibility of the simulation and the calculation method of flexural capacity of such specimens were considered. The research results showed that the addition of bamboo fiber can increase the cracking load and global stiffness and reduce the deformation of the test beam, but this had little effect on the ultimate flexural bearing capacity of the test beam. The cracking load, global stiffness, and ultimate flexural bearing capacity of the test beams were improved by the addition of steel wire mesh, and the stiffness and ultimate flexural bearing capacity of the test specimens with steel wire mesh in the whole beam were improved. Although the composite effect of bamboo fiber and steel wire mesh showed some improvement in these indicators, the improvement effect was not ideal. |
