Abstract
This paper investigates the finite element simulation to predict the creep response of Wood/PVC (WPVC) composite members before and after strengthening by using high carbon steel (HCS) flat bar strip adhered to the tension side. The creep parameters based on power law models of WPVC composites and the HCS flat bars were determined experimentally. Then, the nonlinear finite element analysis (FEA) software of ABAQUS was applied to predict the creep behaviors of composite members using the obtained experimentally creep parameters of individual component of WPVC composites and HCS flat bars. Good correlation between finite element simulation and experimental results are obtained for all cases. ABAQUS software with power law creep model show good potential for prediction the creep response of WPVC composites before and after strengthening. ฉ (2013) Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland.
