Types of Composite

Composite materials are formed by merging two components that have different chemical and physical properties. The merged output is termed as a composite, whose properties are completely different from the individual components. Composite materials also have better strength than the individual components.Composite materials usually have two main parts, reinforcement material, and matrix material. The matrix material acts as a binder and surrounds the fiber of another material that bears a much higher strength. This material is known as the reinforcement material. The matrix materials are usually high-strength additives resins, while the fibers of the reinforced material can be random, oriented, and in a mat format.Composite materials are also known as fiber-reinforced composite polymers because they are composed of the polymer matrix which is reinforced to laboratory-created fibers or naturally occurring fibers, such as glass fibers, carbon fibers, or aramid fibers. Under the application of external loads, the matrix material absorbs and transfers the loads to the fibers, these fibers in return provide good compressive strength, tensile strength, and stiffness to the fiber-reinforced composite materials.Depending upon the matrix and the reinforcement material, different properties can be induced to the fiber-reinforced composite materials, including good corrosion resistance properties. The most common matrix material is the resin while the glass fibers act as the reinforcement material. Strong fibers provide strength and stiffness to the composite materials while, a soft and flexible resin provides shape to the composite materials.

A composite column is formed by placing a steel bar, 20 mm in diameter and 200 mm long, inside an alloy cylinder of the same length whose internal and external diameters are 20 mm and 25 mm, respectively. The column is then subjected to an axial load of 50 kN. If E for steel is 200 OOO N/mm’ and E for the alloy is 70 000 N/mm’, calculate the stress in the cylinder and in the bar, the shortening of the column and the strain energy stored in the column.
Concrete is required for a column that will be Severe exposed to freezing and thawing. The cross section of the column is 300 × 300 mm. The smallest spacing between reinforcing steel is 30 mm. The Required Average Compressive Strength of concrete at 28 days is 35 MPa with a slump of 80 to 100 mm. The properties of materials are as follows: ❖ Cement used is type I Portland cement with a specific gravity of 3.15. ◆ The available coarse aggregate has a maximum size of 23 mm, a dry-rodded unit weight of 1800 kg/m3, a bulk specific gravity (SSD) of 2.7, absorption capacity of 0.55%, and moisture content (SSD) of 0.25%. The fine aggregate has a bulk specific gravity (SSD) of 2.75, absorption capacity of 1.4%, a moisture content (SSD) of 2.5%, and a fineness modulus of 2.70. The aggregates conform to the ASTM C33-84 requirements for grading.
