Shear Behavior of Reinforced Concrete Beams with Different Arrangements of Externally Bonded Carbon Fiber-Reinforced Polymer

Carbonfiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites are frequently utilized in the repair and reinforcement of reinforced concrete members because they more corrosion-resistant, durable, flexible than commonly used materials like steel plates. Many studies have demonstrated that use CFRP as an internal strengthening material has a substantial impact on shear capacity RC beams. This research looks into possibility using FRP externally bonded to increase strength Because improvement mode failure based right configuration sheets, experimental work consisted eight beams with various types, orientations, configurations sheets. All were examined under two-point bending. The test results show sheet significantly improved beam’s ductility it is advantageous orient at 45 degrees longitudinal axis.
