Abstract
This paper deals with the behavior of structural steel-concrete composite beams
curved in plane. The analytical investigation included the use of three dimensional
nonlinear finite elements to model the performance of the composite beams
strengthened with CFRP strips by using (ANSYS 11.0) computer program. The
numerical results showed very good agreement with the experimental results reach
to 100% before the strengthening, while the increase in strength after the curved
strengthened with CFRP strips 32% for the curve beam with L/R equal to 0.05 and
48% for the curve beam with L/R equal to 0.10 and 53% for the curve beam with
L/R equal to 0.25.
