Carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) sheets have recently become popular for use as repair or rehabilitation material for deteriorated carbon fiber reinforced concrete structures. Carbon fiber reinforced concrete beams were analyzed by finite element software ANASYS. Through the finite element analysis, the results showed that using bonded CFRP to strengthen R. C. beams can significantly increase their load carrying capacity. However, the beams with prestressed CFRP can withstand larger ultimate loads than beams with bonded CFRP. Using bonded CFRP to strengthen R. C. beams can obviously reduce the ultimate deflection.

This paper presents the results of the behavior of end zone of post-tensioned (PT) beams made of fiber reinforced concrete (FRC). The principal aim of using FRC was to enhance the ductility and post-cracking behavior of end-zone of post-tensioned beams. A stronger and tougher end-zone of PT-beams is necessary when it is subjected to dynamic loading. Post-tensioned (PT) beams are typically used for the construction of bridges and industrial buildings, which are often subjected to vibrations and cyclic loading. Pre-mature cracking of the end zone (EZ) of a PT-beam is considered the type of problem that may cause the structural collapse. In this research program, polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and copper-coated steel (CCS) fibers were used in concrete for improving the EZ performance of PT-beams. The use of FRC caused a 50% reduction in the shear reinforcement within the end zone of the PT-beam, which also avoided the congestion of steel in the end zone. Hence, the concrete was placed homogeneously, and smooth finished surfaces of the beams were obtained. FRC controlled the bursting of the end zone during the transfer of the full pre-stress force, and approximately 25% increment in the strain energy of the end zone was observed, which was also found efficient in strain diminution along the length of the beam.

This paper deals with behavior and capacity of punching shear resistance for ribbed slabs produce from self-compacting fiber reinforced concrete (SCFRC) by application of nonlinear finite element method. The analysis will be achieved by using ABAQUS software. The nonlinear finite element analysis by ABAQUS will be compare with the experimental results. Results and conclusions may be useful for establishing recommendation and need to be acknowledged.

The entire mechanical properties of steel fiber-reinforced concrete (SFRC) are significantly dependent on the fiber–matrix interactions. In the current study, a finite element (FE) model was developed to simulate the pullout response of hooked-end SFRC employing cohesive–frictional interactions. Plain stress elements were adapted in the model to exemplify the fiber process constituents, taking into consideration the material nonlinearity of the hooked-end fiber. Additionally, a surface-to-surface contact model was used to simulate the fiber’s behavior in the pullout mechanism. The model was calibrated against experimental observations, and a modification factor model was proposed to account for the 3D phenomenalistic behavior of the pullout behavior. Realistic predictions were obtained by using this factor to predict the entire pullout-slip curves and independent results for the peak pullout load. The numerical results indicated that the increased fiber diameter would alter the mode of crack opening from fiber–matrix damage to that combined with matrix spalling, which can neutralize the sensitivity of the entire pullout response of hooked-end steel fiber to embedment depth. Additionally, the fiber–matrix bond was enhanced by increasing the fiber’s surface area, sensibly leading to a higher pullout peak load and toughness. The developed FE model was also proficient in predicting microstructural stress distribution and deformations during the crack opening of SFRC. This model could be extended to fully model a loaded SFRC composite material by the inclusion of various randomly oriented dosages of fibers in the concrete block.
