FLEXURAL BEHAVIOR OF ROLLED STEEL I SECTION BONDED WITH CFRP AND BFRP BY FINITE ELEMENT METHOD

Present study centered on Experimental with finite component investigation on failure analysis and flexural behavior of basalt Fibre Reinforced polymer (BFRP) and Carbon Fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) reinforced steel I-beam. The target of this investigation is to review the impact of basalt fiber reinforced polymer, carbon Fiber reinforced polymer (BFRP) on steel I section underneath flexure. To complete this objective, hot rolled section of ISLB 100 used. Total 10 beams are tested. Out of those, 2 beams are control beam. These I sections are strengthen with BFRP and CFRP sheets. The results showed that it's attainable to increase the moment capability of a steel beam with CFRP bonded to its tension flange. In addition, it's potential to predict the degree of increase in capability by mistreatment simplified analytical solutions.
