Reinforcement of concrete elements with different fabric types

This thesis study investigates the deformation behaviors of polymer fabrics with different properties, which continue to develop with the advancing technology, under pressure and load with different winding techniques on samples from different concrete classes. For this purpose, 38 cylindrical samples with dimensions of 100 x 200 mm were produced in two different concrete classes (C16 and C25). The produced samples were reinforced with three different fabric types, namely Carbon (CFRP), Glass (GFRP) and Basalt (BFRP). The samples were reinforced with two different winding techniques (full and spiral) and epoxy. Considering the existing building stock used, C16 and C25 concrete classes were preferred. The concrete produced for the samples was supplied from Afyonkarahisar ÇİMSA concrete plant and the fabrics were coated with the required overlap length. The reinforced samples were subjected to vertical deformation tests under pressure and load and the test results were shared in the thesis with comparisons according to fabric properties, features and concrete classes.
