Rehabilitation of Beams Made of Aluminum Powder and Pumice Stone after fire using Different Techniques

Document Type : Original Article

Abstract

In this paper, the structural behavior of reinforced concrete beams made of pumice stone (PS) with aluminum
powder (AP) after exposure to fire and rehabilitation by three different techniques (concrete jacket, steel plates
and carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP)) was studied. The beams were subjected to fire at 800°C, with a
period of 2 h. As a result, the rehabilitation of beams after fire by using the different techniques has a positive
effect on loading capacity in bending and deflection for all concrete mixes, but the rehabilitation by concrete jacket
is the best technique on the flexural behavior in this study and then comes rehabilitation by steel plates. In
addition, the rehabilitation of beams using CFRP strips after fire has a positive effect on flexural behavior
regardless concrete type, but need to improvement of glued method
