| Abstract | ||
| A finite element analysis is presented to simulate the behavior of push- off specimens under direct shear. The model incorporates the material parameters for reinforcement and the concrete matrix reinforced with carbon fibers. The experimental results available in the literature were used to validate the numerical results. Design equations according to the shear-friction concept reported by the ACI code were revised for sand-lightweight carbon fiber concrete. A more rational design equation was proposed for this type of concrete. | ||
