Shear capacity behavior of Reinforced Concrete (RC) beams strengthened with CFRP strips
REVISTA INTERNACIONAL DE METODOS NUMERICOS PARA CALCULO Y DISENO EN INGENIERIA(2021)
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 crosssection 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.
