Bridge structures nationwide across the United States are aging and in need of repair or, in
some cases, full replacement. Repair decisions are common among bridge owners because …

This paper is concerned with the finite element simulation of debonding failures in FRP-
strengthened concrete beams. A key challenge for such simulations is that common solution …

Strengthening reinforced concrete (RC) beams with openings by using aramid fiber
reinforcement polymers (AFRP) on the beams' surfaces offers a useful solution for upgrading …

Seven reinforced concrete (RC) T-beams, comprising two unstrengthened (control) beams
and five beams strengthened in shear with embedded FRP bars, were tested to failure. The …

This paper presents an overview of the deep embedment (DE) method–also referred to as
the embedded through-section method–a promising technique for concrete shear …

The deep embedment (DE) of fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) bars is a promising shear-
strengthening scheme for existing concrete structures. In the current study, a three …

Abstract The Deep Embedment (DE) technique is a promising reinforced concrete (RC)
shear strengthening scheme. When compared with the other retrofitting systems, the DE …

This paper presents a non-linear finite element parametric study of continuous RC T-beams
shear retrofitted with deep embedded (DE) carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) bars and …

The objective of this study is to conduct a finite-element (FE) numerical study to assess the
effect of size on the shear resistance of reinforced concrete (RC) beams strengthened in …

This paper presents a three-dimensional nonlinear finite element (FE) model for prestressed
concrete girders strengthened in shear with externally bonded carbon fibre reinforced …
