Abstract
To further explore the potentialities of the HCPs technique for the shear strengthening, the experimental tests were simulated numerically by a FEM-based computer program considering the material properties obtained experimentally. After demonstration of the good predictive performance of the numerical model, a parametric study was executed to investigate the influence of some parameters on the load carrying capacity of the strengthened beams, namely: i) Use a mortar instead of the SHCC; ii) application of different applied torque level to the mechanical anchors; iii) different bond condition between HCPs and concrete substrate.
