Abstract:In the current paper, a numerical study was carried out using the finite element (FE) approach in order to simulate the impact behavior of reinforced concrete (RC) beams strengthened using carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) sheets attached to the tensile face of the RC beam. A three-dimensional finite element model was constructed and carried out using ABAQUS/Explicit software. Different material models were employed to simulate the nonlinear behavior of concrete to better understand the response of reinfo… Show more
