Finite element analysis of reinforced concrete beams with opening strengthened using FRP

Transverse openings are often provided through reinforced concrete beams to accommodate utility ducts and pipes. Finite element analysis has been used in order to study this problem. Fifty-seven beams analyzed using finite element program ANSYS V12. The analysis results compared with fifteen experim...
