Numerical study on strengthening composite bridges

This research examines the effects of using CFRP strips and steel plates for flexural strengthening of composite bridge. Computer simulation is used and adopted from a computer program called ANSYS. The Specimens are modeled in full 3D case, thus the concrete deck, concrete reinforcements, steel pro...

Computer simulation is used and adopted from a computer program called ANSYS. The Specimens are modeled in full 3D case, thus the concrete deck, concrete reinforcements, steel profile, steel plates, shear connectors, adhesive and CFRP strips are modeled in 3D solid elements (Tetra 10 node 187).
