Numerical simulation of concrete slabs strengthened with PTFE sheets subjected to blast load

Simulation of the Reactive Powder Concrete (RPC) Behavior Reinforcing with Resistant Fiber Subjected to Blast Load

In research or experimental works related to blast loads, the amount of explosion material and distance of explosion point are very important. So, in this paper has been attempted to present a parametric study of the reactive powder concrete subjected to blast load. The effect of the different amount of TNT adopted the literature, distance of explosion point from RPC slab and also the location ...

Performance of Polymer-encased Concrete Walls Subjected to Blast Loads

Flexural Testing of High Strength Reinforced Concrete Beams Strengthened with CFRP Sheets

The objective of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of externally bonded CFRP sheets to increase the flexural strength of reinforced high strength concrete (HSC) beams. Four-point bending flexural tests to complete failure on six concrete beams, strengthened with different layouts of CFRP sheets were conducted. Three-dimensional nonlinear finite element (FE) models were adopted by A...

Numerical Simulation of Debonding Failure of Reinforced Concrete Beams Strengthened with Externally Bonded Frp

As the life age of the existing structures are required to meet the changing demands on civil infrastructures. So strengthening and retrofitting are required. Recently many techniques to strengthen the reinforced concrete beams in flexural by using fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) had appeared. The most famous technique among them is strengthening the (RC) beams with externally bonded FRP sheet t...
