An experimental investigation on initially strengthened and repaired 2-span continuous RC beams with carbon fiber–reinforced polymer (CFRP) strips was conducted. Fourteen full-scale beam specimens were tested using a four-point bending test with a shear span to effective depth ratio ðav=dÞ of 2.5:3....
