Numerical Simulation about Reinforced Concrete Beams Strengthened by Bolting Steel Plates

Abstract:

This paper presents a three-dimensional nonlinear finite elemental analysis about the reinforcement concrete beams strengthened by bolting steel plate. The contact effects between the steel plate with reinforced concrete beam surface was simulated by developing the contact elements. The effect of strengthening is analyzed and the effects of the deformation and stress distribution of anchor bolt on the failure mode were investigated. It is declared that this strengthening method can obviously improve the capacity and stiffness of beam, and the flexural deformation of anchor bolt is key problem inducing the failure of strengthened beam. This template explains and demonstrates how to prepare your camera-ready paper for Trans Tech Publications. The best is to read these instructions and follow the outline of this text.
