  • Patent number: 11753823
    Abstract: A concrete structure includes a continuous fiber-reinforced polymer material arranged as a main reinforcing material or a tendon. A short fiber reinforcing material consisting of an organic fiber is mixed in 0.5% or more with respect to an entire volume. The continuous fiber-reinforced polymer material is shaped like a rod or a stranded wire. A ratio Lf/Gm between a fiber length Lf of the organic fiber of the short fiber reinforcing material and a maximum aggregate diameter Gm of a concrete composition is 1.2 to 3.7, and an aspect ratio Lf/De, in which De is an equivalent diameter that is a cross-sectional area of the organic fiber converted into a circle diameter, is 30 to 69.

  • Publication number: 20220145626
    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a concrete structure and a concrete slab, which, by using a continuous fiber-reinforced polymer material as a main reinforcing material or a tendon, and by mixing a short fiber reinforcing material in concrete, compensate for the mechanical shortcomings of the continuous fiber-reinforced polymer material, not rusting, and taking advantage of superior characteristics of the continuous fiber-reinforced polymer material, with low manufacturing cost and ultra-high durability. MEANS TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM: In a concrete structure, in which a continuous fiber-reinforced polymer material is arranged as a main reinforcing material or a tendon, a short fiber reinforcing material consisting of an organic fiber is mixed in 0.

  • Patent number: 11268280
    Abstract: In an anchorage (1) of continuous fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) strands that anchors continuous fiber-reinforced polymer strands (2) to concrete structures, there is provided an untwisted diameter-expanded portion (3) expanded to a diameter D2 by being radially expanded with respect to a diameter D1 of a general portion (4) of the CFRP strands (2) by untwisting any section of the CFRP strands (2) formed by stranding a plurality of element wires (20, 21) that are bundles of multiple continuous fibers, and filling and curing a time curable material (5) in a clearance among the element wires the untwisted section that is untwisted.
