The Optimum Design of RC Beams Strengthened with FRP Materials: A Review

Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) materials have become more popular according to contemporary developments in civil engineering applications. These been used repair and rehabilitate traditional structures. In turn, the majority of currently applications are result research recommendations made by fiber composite manufacturers or experience designer. Therefore, optimization techniques try achieve best design under different conditions structural design. An extensive search was conducted on existing literature applying such as artificial intelligence (AI) methods reinforced concrete members that were externally strengthened with FRP materials. This paper provides a concise assessment many studies done behavior strength fiber-reinforced elements, particularly shear bending scenarios. Each study's methodology key findings summarized.
