Flexural Capacity of the Normal Sections of Concrete Beams Strengthened with Corrugated Steel Plates

To explore the law of load-carrying performance enhancement of concrete beams reinforced with corrugated steel plates (CSPs), three groups of controlled bending tests were conducted on five beam specimens. The load-bearing capacity of concrete members commensurately increased with the thickness of reinforcing flat and corrugated steel plates. Additionally, for the same amount of steel, the load-bearing capacity of concrete beams improved more with CSP reinforcement than with reinforcement with flat steel plates. Accordingly, a theoretical formula for the moment of inertia of the combined section of a CSP-reinforced concrete beam was derived. Comparison verification showed that the calculation results for the beams reinforced with CSPs of different thicknesses were highly accurate. Finally, based on the damage mode of the CSP-reinforced concrete beam specimens, a formula for calculating the flexural bearing capacity of the positive cross-section of the beam with corrugated steel reinforcement was established. The calculated values agreed with the experimental values, which validated the flexural load capacity theory pertaining to positive sections and the flexural capacity model for reinforced beams.
