Abstract

Characterization study is required to determine the mechanical characteristics of a particular material which is essential in understanding its efficacy and usefulness as a strengthening ma Detailed Parametric study for a material needs so much time and cost. For example, to perform parametric study of any cementitious based material shall start with casting and then curing of the specimens for 28 days. More variations in parameters increase the number of same can be tested only after 28 days to examine their efficiency. Therefore detailed parametric studies are always time consuming and costly task. Therefore, objective of this study is to develop analytical models which can depict accurate behavior of material the specimens and the some suitable approach is required to be decided for development of analytical model. In this project, macro-mechanical approach shall be used for the same. Detailed literature review shall be carried out to understand this approach. The aim of the study is to develop analytical models for fibre reinforced polymers and textile reinforced mortar. Thorough literature study shall be carried out to understand the behavior of these materials under different parametric conditions. After completing analytical simulation by using any suitable programming language, the accuracy of the models shall be checked by referring the outcome of experimental research study carried out for the same material.
