Load-Deflection Analysis of RC Beams Strengthened with External CFRP Sheets

Article Preview

Abstract:

Abstract. This paper is dedicated to the load-deflection analysis of RC beams strengthened with external CFRP sheets. A theoretical nonlinear model, based on slip and bond stresses, is described and adopted for the deformability predicition of beams. The model allows considering the bond-slip relationships both between concrete and steel bar and between concrete and CFRP. Comparisons between the simulated midspan deflection and that of experiment indicate that the proposed nonlinear model is able to predict the deformability behavior of RC beams strengthened with external CFRP sheets.
