Abstract: A new one-dimensional two-node layered composite beam element that accounts for the bond-slip between reinforcing bars and surrounding concrete is presented for nonlinear analysis of steel/fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) ...

Abstract: A finite element model denoted as FEM-C is developed in this paper for prediction of structural responses of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP)–strengthened concrete slabs under fixed-point cyclic load. First, a finite element ...

Abstract: A generic crack bridging model for short fiber-reinforced cementitious composites is developed aiming to analytically account for fiber tensile rupture at the pullout stage and two-way fiber pullout induced by both the ...
