This paper demonstrates a comprehensive 3D nonlinear Finite Element (FE) analysis of
Reinforced Concrete (RC) beams strengthened with prestressed Near-Surface Mounted …

Abstract High Strength Steel Wire Mesh and High Performance Mortar (HSSWM-HPM) are
widely used for structural reinforcement and retrofit. Recent research suggests that HSSWM …

Short ultrahigh-modulus (UHM) carbon fiber–reinforced polymer (CFRP) strip panels
connected through a finger joint configuration offer a convenient modular method for …

In this study, a robust three-dimensional finite element (FE) model has been developed for
reinforced concrete beams strengthened in shear with near surface mounted (NSM) carbon …

A nonlinear finite element analysis (NLFEA) model is proposed, validated then expanded to
predict the contribution of fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composites in regaining structural …

A new concrete beam design, comprising concrete core and glass fiber reinforced polymer
(GFRP) ribbed side plates has been developed. Plate splicing is made by using a …

The objective of this present research is to propose a simplified analytical and numerical
approach to predict the interfacial stress of simply supported reinforced-concrete beams …

The near surface mounted system is considered an innovative strengthening technique
used to increase the flexural and shear capacity of RC structures. Although, many …

Sensitivity analysis is a crucial step in computational mechanics and earthquake
engineering. Sensitivity analysis of a model (either numerical or physical) aims at …

Abstract Glass-fiber-reinforced-polymer (GFRP) reinforcing bars have recently gained wide
acceptance as a viable construction material for sustainable new constructions. Yet current …
