Nonlinear Finite Element Analysis on Shear Bearing Capacity of Masonry Wall Strengthened by SGFRP

Article Preview

Abstract:

4 finite element models of ANSYS were constructed according to the masonry wall specimens of the experimental study. A material nonlinear finite element analysis by the finite element calculation software ANSYS on masonry walls strengthened by SGFRP under the horizontal cyclic loads combined with constant gravity loads was performed. The load-displacement curves of the models obtained from ANSYS simulation were described. The ultimate loads of the 3 models strengthened by SGFRP increased significantly, and the fiber length affect the bearing capacity and the deformation capacity of the wall. The results of the nonlinear finite element analysis of the models agree well to the experimental results. Some effective and reasonable reinforcement suggestions are proposed.
