Finite element analysis of RC beams strengthened with bamboo fibre reinforced composite plate using ANSYS

Presence of opening in reinforced concrete (RC) beam automatically reduce the load capacity of the RC beams significantly followed by excessive cracking and deflection. To recover the loss in strength, carbon reinforced polymer (CFRP) which is one of synthetic fibre was opted to be used as strengthe...

Then, application of BFRCP asstrengthening material at flexural zone managed to regain 71.1% of the strength loss which almost the same as the original strength. A huge load capacity loss occured when opening was created in the beam with a percentage loss of 47.4%. Application of BFRCP at the shear zone managed to regain 38% of strength loss. After that, FEA results and experimental results were validated. For solid beam, the load-deflection curve showed a strong agreement with percentage difference of 0.3%. For beam unstrengthened at flexural, the difference 1.8% which proved a strong agreement obtained. Beam strengthened at flexural with BFRCP showed a strong agreement as the percentage difference was 1.4% only. Beam with openings also in a strong agreement with percentage difference of 4.7%. Beam with openings strengthened with BFRCP reached a comparable agreement with percentage difference of 19.5% which is still within permissible range.
