© 2016 Taylor & Francis Group, London.Externally bonded Carbon Fiber-Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) has been used widely to repair and/or strengthen structures that are deficient in strength. Even though strengthening with CFRP has many advantages, previous studies have shown that sudden failure due to debonding is the major problem for FRP-strengthened RC beams. Thus, it is important to clarify failure mechanisms of a strengthened RC beam with CFRP to hinder this problem. In this study, AE-SiGMA method is applied for determination of cracking development mechanism of RC beams strengthened with CFRP in different widths. In the experimental work, specimens strengthened with CFRP strips were tested under cyclic loading along with AE tests. It was found out that increasing the strip width does not enhance the behaviour.
