The deep embedment (DE) of fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) bars is a promising shear-strengthening scheme for existing concrete structures. In the current study, a three-dimensional nonlinear finite element (FE) model for DE-strengthened reinforced concrete beams was developed and validated. The FE and Concrete Society TR55 predictions were compared...
A three-dimensional nonlinear finite element (FE) model for carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) shear-strengthened prestressed concrete (PC) beams was developed and validated against experimental results from the published literature. The PC beams had internal steel as well as externally bonded (EB) CFRP shear reinforcement. A total-strain rotat...
This paper presents a three-dimensional nonlinear finite element (FE) model for prestressed concrete girders strengthened in shear with externally bonded carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) reinforcement. A total strain rotating crack model, where the crack direction changes with the change in the direction of the principal tensile stress, was u...
