Fracture mechanic modeling of fiber reinforced polymer shear-strengthened reinforced concrete beam
A numerical method is developed to model shear-strengthening of reinforced concrete beam by using fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composites. Tensile crack is simulated by a non-linear spring element with softening behavior ahead of the crack tip to model the cohesive zone in concrete. A truss elemen...
