Implication

Experimental investigation shows enhanced flexural capacity in continuous beams with FRP reinforcement, indicating design optimization potential.

Key Points

This research aims to analyze the behavior of continuous reinforced concrete beams made with self-compacting concrete and strengthened by FRP materials.
Four SCC beams tested under static loading
GFRP bars embedded in epoxy adhesive within pre-cut grooves
Three-dimensional finite element model developed using Concrete Damage Plasticity
Nonlinear behavior simulation of concrete and bond–slip interaction
FRP reinforcement significantly increased the ultimate load capacity
Excessive reinforcement reduced ductility leading to brittle failure mode
Numerical predictions closely matched experimental load–deflection responses with under 3% deviation
