Numerical study on the bending behavior of steel and carbon textile fabric concrete slab

Abstract

This paper presents the numerical simulation study using the finite element method to determine the bending behavior of concrete slab using steel and carbon textile fabric. Numerical simulation results are compared with experimental results on four points bending test in this study. The obtained results show the similarity between numerical simulation model and experimental results in aspects such as displacement - force curve, failure mode. Besides, some parameters affecting bending behavior of RC slab using steel and carbon textile fabric such as textile ratio, concrete strength were also investigated.
