Abstract

The paper establishes the experimenal investigation on the performance of Reinforced concrete beams strengthened with Near Surface Mounted System. The use of near-surface mounted (NSM) steel and CFRP bars is an auspicious technology for increasing strength of flexural reinforced concrete (RC) members. A total of six specimens are cast and through static tests to assess the structural behavior of RC beams strengthened by Near-surface mounted technique. The first set are of two control beams tested and remaining beams are strengthened by deformed steel and CFRP bars of single bar in set and two bars in other set. Testing data were analyzed to investigate the performance of strengthened when compared to the unstrengthen beam.
