Predicting the Behaviour of Reinforced Concrete Elements Strengthened with CFRP Using Model Updating Techniques
War, terrorist attacks, explosions, progressive collapse and other unforeseen circumstances have damaged many buildings and bridges. Evidence from studying damaged structures has shown that Reinforced Concrete (RC) slabs, beams, and columns were damaged, but did not fail and can be strengthened using Carbon Fibre Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) to restore their load-carrying capacities and make them serviceable. Currently, there is no reliable analytical model that closely represents the true behaviour of the CFRP-strengthened elements. This study extends the research on the implementation of model updating techniques on RC beams, to RC beams strengthened with CFRP. Our research shows that it is possible to find analytical models that closely match the experimental results. These analytical models can be used to more accurately predict the behaviour of the damaged structural elements strengthened with CFRP.
