Description
Summary:The available finite element packages are not suitable for modeling GFRP reinforced concrete members due to their different properties. This paper presents the finite element analysis (FEA) for glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) reinforced concrete members using ABAQUS. The purpose of the analysis is to predict their shear capacity. The beams were reinforced in longitudinal direction and there was no transverse reinforcement. The FEA results were compared with the test results of GFRP reinforced beams. The results obtained from FE analysis were analyzed for its load-deflection behavior, crack patterns, ultimate loads; and the FE results were also compared with the test results. The comparison reveals that the model predicts the behavior of shear critical GFRP reinforced concrete beams with reasonable degree of accuracy.
