Although several numerical studies have been carried out during the last decade for analysing cracked RC beams which were strengthened with FRP plates, few have been successful in simulating debonding failures, due to the high computational cost involved in the problem's complexity Perera et al., 2004, Yang et al., 2003.
En la pasada década, aunque gran parte de las simulaciones se realizaron para el análisis de vigas reforzadas, unas pocas lograron simular adecuadamente los modos de falla de la interfaz por deslizamiento, pero a un gran costo computacional por el grado de complejidad del problema Perera et al., 2004; Yang et al., 2003.
