In-Depth Information
The tensile force in the FRP reinforcement as a function of the neutral
axis depth, x, is
T f3 (x) := A f3 ·E f ·ε f3 (x)
The neutral axis depth, cu, can be computed by solving the equation of
equilibrium C c - T f = 0:
Given: f 3 (x) := C c3 (x) - T f3 (x)
First guess: x 03 := 0.1d f3
c u3 := root(f 3 (x 03 ), x 03 ))
The neutral axis depth is
c u3 = 0.63·in.
The nominal bending moment capacity can be computed as follows:
