Abstract
This project aims to investigate the effect of near-surface-mounted glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars strengthening on the flexural behavior of hybrid reinforced concrete beams. Seven beams were made; one of these specimens had no strengthening and is considered as a reference beam. The other models were strengthened using near-surface-mounted GFRP bars at the bottom of beams with different lengths (0.5, 0.75, and 1) of effective span beams and diameters (8 and 12 mm) of GFRP bars. The beam length was 2,200 mm with 150 mm width and 240 mm depth. The flexural reinforcement consists of 2 φ12 steel bars at the tension zone and 2 φ12 at the compression zone for all beams. Furthermore, to resist shear forces, φ12 steel bars were used, distributed along the length of the beams spaced at 125 mm c/c; two-point loads on the beams with 500 mm between them were applied at the mid-span. The investigated characteristics were cracking and failure load, crack width, deflection, and failure patterns. By examining the models, it was found that there is an improvement in failure load range from 11.54 to 53.84% relative to the control.
1 Introduction
Although hybrid concrete is not a new idea, it has recently received wide attention due to its effectiveness in bearing load capacity and cost-effectiveness [1]. Hybrid concrete can be defined as incorporating more than one type of concrete to take advantage of the properties of each type [2].
Where the upper layer is cast with high-strength concrete, and the layer subjected to tensile (lower layer) is cast using ordinary concrete [3], thus overcoming the problem of brittle failure of the high-strength and durability of ordinary concrete [4]. To improve the tensile zone, strengthening can be used. The strengthening and protecting concrete structures mainly mean making modifications and treatment of the basic structural members to increase their bearing the loads imposed on them [5,6]. Concrete structures are strengthened for several reasons, including the functional change of the structure, errors during construction, improper design, and seismic retrofit [7].
Concrete structures can be strengthened using fiber-reinforced polymers (FRP) through several methods, such as externally bonded FRP reinforcement, which is considered a good and effective method in practice, but premature debonding was observed. There are other common methods such as near-surface mounted (NSM) [8]. This method is used to strengthen the members subjected to bending stress against tensile forces, as the surrounding concrete will provide protection from environmental and mechanical damage [9].
The NSM FRP rods are a propitious technology. In the early 1950s, the NSM steel rebar was used to strengthen the RC structures in Europe [10]. The benefits of using FRP compared to steel in NSM technology are higher resistance to corrosion. Because of the light weight of the FRP, its installation is easier and faster than steel, and the groove size was reduced due to the higher tensile strength and better corrosion resistance of FRP [11].
This method is applied by excavating grooves on the concrete surface, then the grooves are filled with epoxy paste halfway, after that the bars are put in the grooves and pressed to be surrounded by the epoxy. Then, the epoxy is added again, and the surface is leveled [12].
The failure mode of RC beams with NSM FRP or steel bars depends on different variables. The compressive strength of concrete and the amount of steel reinforcement in the tensile zone effect on the failure mode of the RC beams, where the failure changes from flexural to crushing of concrete [13]. There are two types of rupture failure either pull-out or peeling off. When the FRP or steel bars are longer than the length of the cracking span at an ultimate stage in the models, splitting of cracking concrete surrounding the grooves and sudden failure will be occurred in case of pull-out [14].
Peeling-off concrete occurs when the applied load causes cracks to reach the end of the NSM bars. Even this case is a sudden failure and as a result, the concrete covering the groove from the end of the bar peel-offs. Debonding is another common failure mode, which occurs in different ways [15]: bond failure at the bar–epoxy interface, epoxy–concrete interface, splitting of epoxy cover, concrete cover separation, and secondary debonding failure mechanisms [16].
After an extensive review of existing literature, it has been observed that there is a lack of research studies on the topic of strengthening hybrid reinforced concrete beams using glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) of various lengths. In order to address this gap in the literature, the present study has been initiated with the objective of investigating and exploring the strengthening of hybrid beams using glass fiber. This research aims to find effective ways to strengthen the reinforced hybrid concrete beams in flexural by using NSM glass fiber bars (GFRP). The NSM strengthening technique was first introduced to overcome the debonding problems of externally bonded reinforcement.
2 Experimental work
2.1 Models details
This study includes seven reinforced hybrid concrete beams which cast in two-layer, concrete with compressive strength (50 MPa) in the compression layer and normal strength with compressive strength (25 MPa) in the tension zone. The first model was made without strengthening, while the other beams were divided into two groups. Group one and group two strengthened using NSM of GFRP bars using diameter (8 and 12 mm), respectively with different lengths (0.5, 0.75, and 1) of clear span, shown in Table 1. Each specimen consists of a total length of 2,200 mm and cross-section dimensions of 150 mm width and 240 mm height. The effective span was 2,000 mm. The flexural reinforcement of all beams consists of 4φ12 steel bars. Furthermore, to prevent shear failure, φ12 steel bars were used, distributed along the length of the specimens spaced at 125 mm c/c as shown in Figure 1. Figure 2 shows the strengthening beams detail. Depending on ACI 318-19 [17], beams were designed to be failed in flexure failure.

Details of strengthening beams.
The strengthening procedures began by cutting grooves with dimensions of about 1.5 db × 1.5 db [16] (where db is the diameter of the NSM reinforcement) into the concrete cover of specimens at the side or tension face of the beam, as shown in Figure 3. The grooves are made using a special concrete cutter. A hammer and a hand chisel were used to remove any remaining concrete lugs and to roughen the lower surface of the groove. The grooves were washed with water and dried by a high-pressure air jet. The details of a typical groove are shown in Figure 4.

Cut off the grooves.

Application of NSM bars.
In the NSM reinforcement technique, strengthening bars are placed gently into grooves that cut into the concrete cover of the RC beams. Then, they bonded using an epoxy adhesive groove filler. The grooves were half-filled with epoxy, and then, the GFRP bar was placed inside the groove and lightly pressed. This forced the epoxy to flow around the inserted GFRP bar. In addition, the required epoxy was used to fill the groove and level the surface. To ensure the epoxy achieved full strength, the beam was kept for 1 week as curing time.
2.2 Material properties
For all beams, ready-mixed concrete made of 19 mm max size of AL-Nibaae coarse aggregate, natural sand from Al-Najaf region, AL-JESR Sulfur Resistant Portland cement, and tap water were used to prepare the concrete mix. In addition to silica fume (shown in Table 2) and Superplasticizer Concrete Admixture (Sika ViscoCrete-5930). Two types of concrete mixtures were made (chosen by trial mix) to obtain different compressive strengths as shown in Table 3.

2.3 Experimental setup
The flexural tests were performed in the structural testing Laboratory of the Faculty of Engineering – Kufa University. The tested beams are simply supports, plates, and rollers put over the under points of loads and supports to prevent local concrete crushing. The supports are placed 100 mm from the ends of the models, and the effective span was 2,000 mm. Figure 5 shows the experimental test setup beam. To measure the deflection of each span of the beam, three dial gages were used at mid-span, 666 and 333 mm from support; 5 kN/min was the actuator rate. During the test, the beam crack width was measured using a crack meter.

3 Results and discussions
The test results obtained from the examination of seven samples and presented in Table 7. One of these models has no strengthening and is considered as a reference model. The other models were strengthened using near-surface mounted GFRP. Two parameters, diameter and length of bars, were studied. It was observed from the test results that there is an increase in the failure load, an enhancement in the first crack load, and a reduction in the deflection for the strengthening models compared to the control beam.

The load–deflection curves for set one (HBD8L1, HBD8L2, HBD8L3) and set two (HBD12L1, HBD12L2, and HBD12L3) with the control beam HBC shown in Figures 6 and 7, respectively. In the first stage, all strengthening samples showed linear behavior up to the first crack. It was observed that there was an increase in the load of first cracking about 66.66% for all strengthening models compared with HBC. In the second stage, the behavior of curves was nonlinear until to failure point. The strengthening models showed more stiffness behavior compared to the control beam, This behavior was because the drilling in the models (HBD8L3, HBD12L2, and HBD12L2) exhausted the model, which made it less stiffness.

3.2 Failure mode
Figure 8 presents the failure modes of beams tested in this research. The control model (HBC) failed flexural (as planned), as cracks appeared in the middle of the beam in the tensile zone, after which the cracks extended vertically to reach the compression zone. Nevertheless, the pattern of failure in group one was similar to HBC, but the strengthening led to an increase in the failure load of about 11.538, 15.38, and 25.64% for HBD8L1, HBD8L2, and HBD8L3, respectively. Compared with HBC, it is noted in this group that the cracks increased before failure, with the appearance of flexural-shear cracks, which later turned into flexural. The increase in the failure load in HBD12L1, HBD12L2, and HBD12L3 of group two was 15.384, 43.589, and 53.846%, respectively, and failed by concrete cover separation for HBD12L1 and HBD12L2, where flexural-shear cracks appeared at the beginning, which later led to separation in the bottom cover of the model, because the groove of the 12-diameter rod was wide led to weakening the cover area. While the beam HBD12L3 failed by flexural, the rod (2,000 mm) covered all the space of the model.

3.3 Crack width
A crack meter (as shown in Figure 9) was used to measure the crack width of the beams. Figures 10–12 show the effect of the length and diameter of GFRP bars on the crack width.

Maximum crack width for tested beam.
It can be observed that the beams strengthening with the GFRP bar had lesser crack width as compared with NC beams. The diameter of the GFRP bar has the largest effect on the crack width. The crack width decreased as the diameter of GFRP bars increased. Due to the increase in the area of strengthening, the ability to impede the expansion of cracks increases.
4 Parametric study
4.1 Effect of NSM bars length
The bar lengths were changed to (0.5, 0.75, and 1) of clear span for group one (HBD8L1, HBD8L2, and HBD8L3), respectively, also group two (HBD12L1, HBD12L2, and HBD12L3) respectively. It was noted that an increase in the GFRP bar length led to an enhancement in failure load by 11.538, 15.38, and 25.64% for HBD8L1, HBD8L2, and HBD8L3, respectively, compared to HBC. While the failure load increased by 15.38, 43.59, and 53.84% for HBD12L1, HBD12L2, and HBD12L3, respectively, compared with HBC, the failure load in HBD12L1 increased by 3.44% compared with HBD8L1, 24.44% for HBD12L2 compared with HBD8L2, and 33.33% for HBD12L3 compared with HBD8L3, as shown in Figures 13 and 14. This increase is due to the efficiency of the rod diameter of 12 mm compared to the diameter of 8 mm.

4.2 Effect of GFRP bar diameter
Figure 15 shows the GFRP bar diameter effect. The ultimate load was increased by about 3.448, 24.444, and 22.449% for HBD12L1, HBD12L2, and HBD12L3 compared with HBD8L1, HBD8L2, and HBD8L3, respectively.

5 Conclusion
In this research, the conclusion can be summarized in several points:
Strengthening the models by using the near-surface mounted technique led to a significant enhancement in the first crack and the failure load. The increase in the first cracking load was equal to 66.66% while the failure load was increased from 11.54 to 53.84% compared with the control beam.
The change in GFRP bar length and diameter had no effect on the first crack load.
The strengthening samples had more stiffness compared to the unstrengthening samples.
Strengthening by GFRP bar with a length equal to a clear span gives better results and prevents separation of the concrete cover since the strengthening crosses the flexural stresses region into the shear stresses region.
Increasing in length of GFRP bar did not lead to an increase in the stiffness of the beams.
The width of the crack decreases as the diameter of the GFRP bar increases, while the length of the GFRP bar did not affect the crack width.
