title = "Finite element modelling of aluminum alloy plated beams",
abstract = "This study involves the development of three-dimensional nonlinear Finite Element (FE) models of strengthened Reinforced Concrete (RC) beams with different anchorage systems, obtained from experimental testing. The aim of this investigation was to simulate the flexural behavior of strengthened RC beam, and compare FE and experimental results using load deflection response plots, maximum attained loads, and corresponding deflections. Three FE models were developed, which include: a reference RC beam, beam externally bonded (EB) with Aluminum Alloy (AA) plate along the soffit of the beam, and another strengthened beam with an AA plate EB to the soffit of the beam and anchored at its ends using Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymers (CFRP) U-wraps. The developed FE models integrated nonlinear material properties and fundamental constitutive laws. The results obtained from the FE models closely agreed with those obtained from the experiment. Therefore, successful FE modeling has proven to provide great insight on the flexural behavior strengthened RC specimens. The performance of AA plated beams would be used as a valid platform to study the effect of different variables.",
