Shear performance of reinforce concrete beams strengthened with various configurations of FRP system: A review

Shear failure is a brittle condition that happens without warning. As a result, beams are intended to fail in flexural rather than shear failure modes. Several present RC beams have been found to be lacking in their ability to achieve optimum shear performance. Composite strengthening has become a common procedure for reinforcing defective structural parts in recent years. Various FRP forms have recently been designed to meet projected shear strength performance standards. The current review study delves into the specifics of such developments. Due to a lack of thorough and trustworthy design guidelines, the utilization of FRP systems for complicated shear strengthening applications has limits. Existing design guidelines are also examined for their reliability. The areas of extant experimental work relevant to shear strengthening are highlighted in detail.
