Finite Element-based Optimization of Shear-Strengthening Strategies for I-Shaped RC Beams using Hybrid Materials and Plate Reinforcement
This study investigates the shear-strengthening performance of I-shaped reinforced concrete (RC) beams using advanced materials and external steel plate configurations through nonlinear finite element modeling (FEM) in ANSYS. Three shear enhancement techniques were evaluated: high-strength concrete (HSC), steel fiber-r...
