Investigation of FRP impact on Shear Strengthening of Reinforced and Pre-Stressed Concrete Beams

Abstract

The Fiber Reinforced Polymers (FRP) is a benefit for increasing and pre-stress concrete beams by adding FRP.  The purpose of the study is to recognize the constraints impacting the shear capability added by FRP? and assess the precise analyzing method. The experimental data displayed in the past illustrated that the obtainable systematic models used to predict the FRP capacity were in struggling to determine the incorporated plan.  As a result, it may forecast exactly the shear involvement of outwardly practical FRP. Specific research figured out the comparison of experimenting data between the ACI 440.2R-08 method, and Triantafillou and Antonopoulos aiming to gain the satisfying assessment of FRP shear capability. The paper added visions into possible cases to unacceptable approximation.
