Abstract
This paper presents a finite element (FE) modeling approach to assess the performance of reinforced concrete (RC) beams strengthened in shear using external polymer cement mortar (PCM)‐bonded basalt fiber‐reinforced polymer (BFRP) grids. The study begins with an experimental program and FE modeling of a double shear bond test, simulating the bond behavior between the BFRP grid and RC beams with PCM. Subsequently, a FE model for BFRP shear‐strengthened beams explores key parameters, including shear span to depth ratio, bonding agent type (PCM and epoxy resin), and angles between BFRP grid bars and the beam axis. Comparative analysis with experimental results verifies the accuracy of the FE models. Additionally, a critical parameter, the BFRP reinforcement ratio, is numerically investigated, revealing that achieving a ratio between 1.33% and 1.55% enhances both maximum load and deflection in beams strengthened with externally bonded composite reinforced mortar.
