Research and Simulation on Strengthening Steel Structure with Carbon Fiber Sheet
Carbon Fiber-Reinforced Polymer(CFRP) Composite Sheets Have Gained Popularity as a Viable Strengthening Technique for Fractured Concrete Structures. the Behavior of Carbon Fiber Sheet Materials to Cracked Steel Structures Is Quite Different from that of Concrete Structures. More and More Attention Are Paid to Research on Strengthening Steel Structure with Carbon Fiber Sheet. this Paper Presents the Study on the Steel Structure Bonded with Carbon Fiber Sheets. the Infinite Element Analysis Software ANSYS Is Used to Analyze the Effects of Strengthening a Steel Structure. and the Test Results of Crack Specimens Strengthened by Carbon Fiber Sheet Are Given. the Finite Element Results and Test Results Show that the Using of Carbon Fiber Sheet Can Improve Load Bearing of Structure and its Fatigue Life.
