Advances in finite element methods and analysis of strengthened reinforced concrete beams using fiber reinforced polymers (FRP) are reviewed in this paper with reference to numerical analysis and modeling of fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composite concrete beams. The possibilities of future research on finite element analysis of FRP strengthened RCC beams are also presented. This review is required to have better understanding of stress distribution on concrete matrix due to strengthening with FRP elements. This will also help in understanding the various strains occurring on different elements. These parameters help in limiting stresses within permissible limits.
Gradually most of the RC Structures are becoming structurally weak in their proposed life span; hence the structures are to be strengthened in order to increase the durability. There are many methods to strengthen the structure; however selecting the method of strengthening is also an important task. The strengthening of structure by GFRP sheet is a simple method comparative to other type of strengthening methods. Currently there is a no code of practice available in bureau of Indian Standard (IS) to recommend the strengthening procedure. This is relatively increasing the life span of the structures. This project includes the experimental study and also analytical study of RC members regarding flexural strength test and compression test. For the analytical study, ANSYS software is used, this software gives the results of above test which is almost similar to experimental study. So, this software may be use to study the behavior of heavily loaded structures.
