title = "Analyses of FRP-strengthened RC slabs using a new composite plate element with bond slip effect",
abstract = "A new 8-node 48 DOF composite layered plate finite element is presented in this paper and employed for finite element modelling of nonlinear structural behaviour of a FRP-strengthened RC slab. The new composite plate element is an integrated element with concrete, steel reinforcement, FRP and adhesive represented by a serial of layers. To simulate the bond slip effect between FRP and concrete, the bond-slip is assumed to occur within a smeared layer, which connects the concrete tensile zone with the adhesive layer. Both geometrical and material nonlinearity are included in the new element. The developed finite element is constructed based on Mindlin-Reissner plate theory, shear deformation effects are included in the model and the shear locking problem is avoided by employing the Timoshenko's composite beam functions to represent the deflection and rotation of the layered plate element. The accuracy and efficiency of the proposed element is demonstrated by comparing the computed results with experimental results obtained from literature.",
