Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordFire Evaluation of RC Frames Strengthened with FRPs Using Finite Element MethodReza Salehi, Abbas Akbarpour, Armaghan ShalbaftabarReinforced Concrete (RC) structures may confront with extreme loading conditions. Sometimes, structures are not only under extreme loading such as earthquakes but also, they may be subjected to fire. Therefore, investigation of reinforced concrete structures which are the most common ones is essential. In this study, experimental RC frame is considered to validate in ABAQUS finite element software. RC frame … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 4 · 5 Oct 2020 · 7,135 accessesView PDFCite
