Abstract
Recently, reinforced concrete beams strengthened with carbon fiber reinforced polymers (CFRP) have been widespread. The objective of this research is to calculate the shear strength capacity increment of reinforced concrete beams strengthened by CFRP strips. The ABAQUS software was used to construct a model of the finite elements for beam simulation. Six beams were generated in ABAQUS software, two were control beams and the remaining four were reinforced by varying CFRP strips. All beams had the same rectangular cross-section geometry and length. The obtain results showed that CFRP can significantly increase the shear capacity of the beam. And the highest load and deflection is a little affected by the CFRP strips orientation. This study can proposes a more economical way for existing structures to improve the carrying capacity.
期刊介绍:
International Journal of Numerical Methods for Calculation and Design in Engineering (RIMNI) contributes to the spread of theoretical advances and practical applications of numerical methods in engineering and other applied sciences. RIMNI publishes articles written in Spanish, Portuguese and English. The scope of the journal includes mathematical and numerical models of engineering problems, development and application of numerical methods, advances in software, computer design innovations, educational aspects of numerical methods, etc. RIMNI is an essential source of information for scientifics and engineers in numerical methods theory and applications. RIMNI contributes to the interdisciplinar exchange and thus shortens the distance between theoretical developments and practical applications.
