More Information
Summary:A finite element model for the analysis of reinforced concrete with external composite materials strengthening is presented in this paper. The model is based on a concrete material model, external unidirectional composites, the Ahmad Shell element and geometric and material non-linearities. The first-order shear-deformation theory is used, in order to describe the deformation of the shell under the total lagrangian formulation. An example of a RC plate without and with external FRP reinforcement is presented and discussed.
