Non-linear Behavior oF Low Strength RC Beams Strengthened with CFRP Sheets

There are many modern technologies for strengthening concrete. One of them is Carbon Fiber Reinforcement Polymer (CFRP) sheets. cases that require concrete strengthening, including the weakness from design strength due to exposure elements fires or less control quality. This research provides a theoretical study analyze behavior low RC beams strengthened with CFRP sheets using ANSYS software. The contained (75) beam model specimens. Six verifying results experimental tests. Forty five specimens were used studying flexural and twenty four models shear behavior. conducted variable parameters includes thickness, strength, yield stress steel, application plies. very similar test results. proved increasing load capacity it effective in case steel.
