Continuous unidirectional carbon fibre-reinforced concrete beams

This paper reports a set of experimental results for continuous unidirectional carbon

fibre-reinforced concrete beams. The fibers are embedded at different layers in the

tension side of the beam below the neutral axis. All together nine concrete beams

were constructed and tested, three of which contained no reinforcement. The carbon

fibre-reinforced concrete beam load-deflection results are presented graphically for

three beams with one-layer, one with two-layers and two with four-layers of

continuous unidirectional fibres. The maximum deflections of the reinforced beams

are compared with those of plain concrete beams.
