Abstract

An experimental investigation was conducted to study the effect of composite carbon fabric shear reinforcement on the ultimate strength and behaviour of reinforced concrete beam. Shear deficient specimens were strengthened by using side-bonded and wrapped CFRP straps. Eight beams were fabricated and tested under the cyclic loads. The main objective of the study is to obtain ductile flexural behaviour from the shear deficient RC beams. To verify the reliability of shear design equations and guidelines, experimental results were compared With all common guidelines and published design equations.
