Numerical analysis of small-scale concrete beams strengthened with CFRP under impact loading Ghent University
Reinforced concrete structures are vulnerable to impact loads (e.g. rock-fall, vehicle collision or ship impact) during their service life. It is of interest to understand the impact load behaviour of reinforced concrete and its potentially catastrophic failure. This paper presents a preliminary study, on small-scale reinforced concrete beams strengthened with carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) under low-velocity impact. This study comprises ...
