Abstract: In this paper, a fiber beam model previously developed by the authors for the nonlinear analysis of strengthened elements, including the effects of shear, is used to predict the response of reinforced concrete (RC) beams ...

Abstract: The objective of this paper is to contribute to the understanding of the shear resisting mechanisms in RC beams shear-strengthened by externally bonded fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) sheets. For this purpose, a fiber beam ...

Abstract: Prestressing tendons made of fiber-reinforced polymers (FRPs) are a promising alternative to conventional steel tendons in prestressed concrete structures owing to their corrosion resistance. However, the shear strength ...
