Evaluation of Optimised Truss Models for FRP Shear Strengthened RC Beams
This paper presents the experimental work (1) to investigate the shear behaviour of RC beams strengthened with externally bonded shallow-angle CFRP laminate strips, and (2) to evaluate the efficiency of optimised truss model in shear resistance of CFRP strengthened beams. Two test series with a/d ra...
