The Behavior of RC Beams Strengthened with Steel Fiber Concrete Layer by ANSYS Simulation

Figure 5

ANSYS model of a beam constructed with two layers of concrete: (a) a model of a beam made of double-layered concrete; (b) the model of the steel bars including the boundary condition and the load; (c) steel fiber model in concrete [25]; (d) concrete cracking model [25]; (e) typical uniaxial compressive and tensile stress-strain curve for concrete [25].
