A novel FE model for RC beams strengthened in bending by mechanically fastened FRP laminates
, 2012 This paper proposes a Finite-Element model (FEM) for simulating the behaviour of RC beams strengthened by Mechanically Fastened FRP laminates (MF-FRP). The model is developed by assembling a frame-like element to simulate the RC beam, a “rod” element for
