Abstract

It is now common practice to retrofit reinforced concrete members by adhesively bonding steel or fibre reinforced polymer plates to their surfaces. However, tests have shown that these plated RC structures tend to have less member ductility, or rotational capacity, than the unplated structure because of premature plate debonding. In this paper, structural mechanics approaches are described for both: quantifying the moment rotation capacity, or member ductility, of steel plated RC flexural members; and quantifying the moment redistribution capacity from the moment rotation capacity. It is shown how the moment redistribution structural mechanics model can be used to design for member ductility directly and, furthermore, it is applied to both externally bonded and near surface mounted steel plates. As would be expected, it is shown that steel plating produces more ductile members than fibre reinforced polymer plating.
