Externally bonded FRP reinforcement for RC structures (2001, background): “According to the third approach (Matthys 2000), two independent steps should be followed (as in the first one).”
On the finite element modelling of RC beams shear-strengthened with FRP (2012, methodology): “The predicted failure modes are shear tension failure for beam BS3 and shear failure due to the debonding of the left and middle FRP U-strips from the beam sides at the peak load for beam BS5; the predicted failure modes are in agreement with the test observations reported by Matthys [10].”
Finite-element modeling of intermediate crack debonding in FRP-plated RC beams (2011, methodology): “Figures 5(a)-5(e) show the predicted crack patterns at the ultimate load for beams BF1, BF2, BF7, BF8 and BF9 respectively, which match closely the test crack patterns given in Matthys (2000).”
