This study is focused on three-dimensional nonlinear finite element analysis of reinforced concrete (RC) beams strengthened with carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) strips under impact loading. The validity of the model was assessed through the comparison with experimental results obtained from drop-weight impact tests of the authors. The well agreement proves the feasibility of the proposed numerical analysis method.
