Journal Article
Katsamakas, A. A., Papanikolaou, V. K., & Thermou, G. E. (2021). A FEM-based model to study the behavior of SRG-strengthened R/C beams. Composite Structures, 266, 113796. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.compstruct.2021.113796

In this paper, a new time‐effective modeling approach is proposed for predicting the response of shear‐deficient reinforced concrete (R/C) beams strengthened with steel‐reinforced grout (SRG) jackets. Solid finite elements are utilized for concrete... Read More about A FEM-based model to study the behavior of SRG-strengthened R/C beams.
