Finite Element Analysis of Reinforced Concrete Beam for Carbon Fiber-Reinforced Plastic

Abstract:

The flexural behavior of reinforced concrete beams strengthened by CFRP is analyzed by using the way which connected tests with finite element simulation.First,through the test to get the load data of one unstrengthened and one strengthened reinforced concrete beam.Then,the finite element model is carried out based on Ansys finite element analysis software.The reinforced beam carrying capacity is improved based on the test data and finite element calculation results.Steel bars stress change curve, CFRP stress curve and the load displacement curves are in good agreement with experimental results.
