Nonlinear Finite Element Analysis for the Flexural Behavior of Concrete Beams Strengthened with NSM CFRP-PCPs Composite Bars

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper presents the development of a detailed 3D nonlinear finite element (FE) numerical model that can accurately predict the load-carrying capacity and response of RC beams strengthened with NSM CFRP-PCPs composite bars subjected to four-point bending loading. The predicted FE mid-span deflection responses agreed very well with the corresponding measured experimental tested data at all stages of flexural loading.
