Numerical Simulation Of Shear Strength In A Short Reinforced Concrete Corbel Strengthened With Composite Material Compared With Experimental Results

This paper describes a numerical analysis carried out to assess the shear strength of strengthened short reinforced concrete corbel by using Carbon Fiber Reinforced Fabrics (CFRF). To extend the life and shear strength of the reinforced concrete structures often used technique for external bonding of composite materials. This study provides a comparison of curves obtained with numerical model and experimental curves of corbels. Results show that in general, ultimate load, crack patterns and deformation capacity were satisfactorily reproduced. The Finite element model results are successful compared and validated by experimental results.
