Study of Simply Supported Beam with Composite PLATE: A Literature Review

Abstract

Modern practice in civil and structural engineering involves strengthening concrete structures by externally bonded FRP composite materials. This type of reinforcing system has a significant number of advantages, such as lightness, noncorrosive, nonmagnetic, strong and highly versatile, FRP products being, in certain cases, the ideal materials for structural strengthening and rehabilitation. In present research work the response of plain concrete beam, reinforced concrete beam and reinforced concrete beam with GFRP plate are reviewed with finite element analysis software. ABAQUS and ANSYS software are used as a software study for analysis of beam. The results and outcomes of analysis are reviewedfor reinforced concrete beam with GFRP plate. Also results were studied for better results among all cases found in various research papers.
