The Behavior of RC Beams Strengthened with Steel Fiber Concrete Layer by ANSYS Simulation

Figure 21

When the diameter of the compressed steel bars varied, cracking and damage began to appear in the beams: (a) cracks begin to appear in the beam (Pcrack = 9 kN), 2ϕ16; (b) damage to the beam begins to appear (Pmax = 131 kN), 2ϕ16.
