Abstract: Flexural test results of three concrete beams reinforced with carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) bars together with a steel-reinforced beam which is served as a reference are presented ...

The most common method used to strengthening, rehabilitation or repairing of reinforced concrete (RC) members is to use external carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) sheets. CFRP can greatly improve ...

Abstract: The finite element software ABAQUS is used to simulate numerically the relationship between the load and deflection of layered steel fiber reinforced concrete beam bended at three points.

As a leading manufacturer of FRP composites, Strongwell adheres to hundreds of engineering standards. ASTM D790 is among the most utilized specifications in the plastics industry. In this article, ...

Beam deflection is an essential consideration in engineering and construction projects. It refers to the amount a beam deforms or bends under the influence of external forces. Accurate calculation of ...

This paper proposes a method to evaluate the effect of shear on the deflection of reinforced concrete (RC) beams. The deflection of RC beams due to the effects of flexural and shear cracks shows ...

In civil engineering, flexural beams are used to control the effect of vibrations that can cause cracks to appear in surfaces (concrete slabs) and beams. This is particularly important in buildings ...
