Most of the structures in the country have been built in reinforced concrete, and due to the passage of time, some present stability risks due to durability issues. The need to preserve these structures at affordable costs demands new reinforcement strategies and technologies, among which are those that utilize Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymers CFRP. CFRP design standards have limitations when it comes to reinforcing areas with discontinuities, deep beams, beams with openings, corbels, and the like (referred to as “D regions“). There is no established and standardized procedure to reinforce with CFRP in these D regions, making these areas particularly critical. The Strut and Tie Method BT offers a simple conceptual framework to investigate the load transfer mechanism for D regions. It is currently accepted as a design method incorporated into the ACI-318 standard and Eurocode 2 (2003). In this research, the BT method has been adapted to reinforce a D region using CFRP, yielding reliable design results, which were then verified through experimental testing. The results obtained from the experimental tests are further corroborated in a Finite Element Model FEM using the Abaqus software. This modeling considers the plastic damage behavior of CDP concrete in both compression and tension, as well as the properties of steel and CFRP. Lastly, an application example for the reinforcement of a bridge pier (D region) was developed, adapting the BT method for CFRP reinforcement. The outcomes of this were then verified using the FEM approach.
