SHEAR STRENGTHENING OF RC T-BEAMS USING CARBON FIBER REINFORCED POLYMER (CFRP)
This study is carried out to study the shear contribution of FRP in reinforced concrete (RC) T-beam section, Due to the lack of data regarding the behavior of T-beam with FRP. However, civil infrastructures are design for a particular period of life cycle and it deteriorates with time. Therefore, st...

| Summary: | This study is carried out to study the shear contribution of FRP in reinforced concrete (RC) T-beam section, Due to the lack of data regarding the behavior of T-beam with FRP. However, civil infrastructures are design for a particular period of life cycle and it deteriorates with time. Therefore, strengthening of the deteriorate structure would be appropriate to extend the life of the structure or to give it an extra capacity of load taking. Fiber reinforced polymer has been used widely in the recent years. Design guidelines gives different value of the predicted shear contribution therefore this study is focus in the deferent’s of these values with the experimental data. Moreover, during this study ACI 440-2 and fib bulletin 14 were used to predict the shear contribution of FRP in T-beam and compared the results with the experimental results. |
