Finite Element Analysis of Reinforced Concrete (RC) Beams Reinforced with Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP)

Abstract

Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) has been used in construction as it is lightweight, has flexural strength, is more durable and resistant to corrosion, impact, and fire. Finite Element Analysis (FEA) is a modern technique to predict the tensile behavior and cracking pattern of structural members using nonlinear finite element analysis (NLFEA). In this current study, 11 specimens of Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) reinforced concrete (RC) Beams with different reinforcement bars (#5, #6 and #8 bars) and spacing (30mm, 38mm and 50 mm) along with two different concrete strengths (Normal and high strength) were modelled to predict the flexural behavior, Moment deflection behavior and cracking pattern using ABAQUS 6.12. These specimens were modeled in ABAQUS using CDP Model and calibration was performed on basis of viscosity, dilation angle and meshing size. The outcomes of numerical modeling were compared with those of the experimental results. It has been shown that there is a slight disparity with very small differences between the experimental and numerical results.
