Non-Linear Finite Element Analysis of RC Slabs Strengthened with CFRP Laminates
نویسندگان
چکیده
The present study deals with the finite element modelling of control RC slabs and strengthened slabs with the help of ANSYS. ANSYS is software that is based on FE method in which modelling of RC structures is done. In this study, a control slab was modelled and the results were analysed and then strengthened slabs were modelled and analysed. The results of the control and strengthened slabs were compared with the experimental results. It was observed that the results of the strengthened slabs are in close agreement with the experimental results. Keywords—RC Reinforced Concrete, Strengthened Slabs, CFRP Carbon Fibre Reinforced Polymer, Numerical (ANSYS).

Finite Element Analysis of Reinforced RC Bracket Using CFRP Plates
CFRP composites have unique application qualities such as high resistance and durability to environmental conditions, having relatively low weight and easy to install in strengthening concrete structure elements. The brackets should be strengthen sufficiently if they are not calculated and implemented well. Application of the CFRP is one of the methods for such purposes. The study involves usin...
متن کاملStrengthening of Existing RC Two-Way Slabs using New Combined FRP fabric/rod Technique
This study presents the results of an experimental program to investigate the effectiveness of an innovative combined FRP technique using combination of externally bonded (EB) FRP fabrics and near surface mounted (NSM) FRP rods for flexural strengthening of existing reinforced concrete (RC) two-wayslabs with low clear cover thickness. Three full-scale RC slabs (1500×1500×120 mm) were tested und...
متن کاملNonlinear Finite Element Modeling of Different Cross-Sectional Shapes of Slender RC Columns Confined with CFRP Wraps
In the present study, non-linear finite element analyses are carried out on the slender reinforced concrete columns wrapped using CFRP composite with different cross-sectional shapes having the same area. Thickness of the CFRP wraps, concrete compressive strength, corner radius, loading condition, slenderness ratio and column size are the main parameters of this study. According to this, four d...
متن کاملInvestigation on Flexural Performance of RC Beams Flexurally Strengthened by Side-bonded CFRP Laminates
It is an effective way to improve the flexural behavior of reinforced concrete (RC) members by externally bonded carbon fiber reinforcement polymer (CFRP) laminates on the soffit of the members. However, there is little investigation on flexural performance of RC beam flexurally strengthened by side-bonded FRP laminates. To investigate the flexural behavior of RC beams side-bonded CFRP laminate...
متن کاملImproving the Punching Shear Strength of RC Slabs by FRP and Steel Sheets
This paper deals with the modeling of punching shear failure in reinforced concrete slabs using nonlinear finite element analysis. The 3D finite element analyses (FEA) were performed with the appropriate modeling of element size and mesh, and the constitutive modeling of concrete. The FE numerical models are validated by comparing with the experimental results obtained from tested specimens and...
