Abstract:In order to study the shear performance of T-shaped reinforced concrete (RC) beams reinforced by Basalt Fiber Reinforced Polymer (BFRP) grid-Engineered Cementitious Composite (ECC) (hereinafter referred to as BFRP grid-ECC reinforced T-shaped RC beams), the influence of single branch cross-sectional area and ECC thickness on the shear performance of BFRP grid-ECC reinforced T-shaped RC beams was studied by using the finite element analysis software ABAQUS. The results showed that increasing the cross-sectional area of BFRP grid could effectively improve the shear capa-city of beams. In practical engineering, it is recommended to use the BFRP grid with a single branch cross-sectional area of 30 mm2, which can make the structure have good bearing capacity and save more materials. Increasing the thickness of ECC could also significantly improve the shear capacity of beams. Finally, based on the truss-arch model, a formula for calculating the shear capacity of BFRP grid-ECC reinforced T-shaped RC beams was established. The deviation between the experimental and calculated values is less than 8%, and the calculated results are in good agreement with the simulated values.
