FE Modeling of EB-FRP Strengthened RC Beams

Article Preview

Abstract:

A finite element (FE) model for externally bonded FRP (EB-FRP) strengthened RC beams is developed to simulate the responses of the structural system, to gain a better insight into the mechanism of the system. Comparisons between the predictions of the model and test results are presented to demonstrate its capability and accuracy.
