In this paper the numerical FEM model developed to simulate the behaviour of the NSM strengthening system for concrete elements is presented. The plane model introduces the non linear bond law of the system by an interface element between the composite reinforcement and the concrete considered linear. The results of two experimental programs are analysed and used to calibrate the parameters of the bond shea...
This paper presents a numerical plane Finite Element (FE) Model for use in simulating the behaviour of different types of Near Surface Mounted (NSM) Fibre Reinforced Plastic (FRP) strengthening systems for concrete elements. Based on a nonlinear bond law for simulating the behaviour of the FRP reinforcement-adhesive-concrete interface, the model employs an interface element between the NSM FRP reinforcement and...
Although an extensive amount of research into the debonding behaviour of FRP strengthening systems has been conducted in literature, no standard methodology has been yet established that represent the actual behaviour. To asses the performance and reliability of small scale testing on NSM (near surface mounted) FRP strengthening systems an experimental program, in the framework of an international Round Rob...
