## Abstract Shear strengthening is required when an RC beam is found deficient in shear, or when its shear capacity falls below its flexural capacity after flexural strengthening. A recent technique for the shear strengthening of RC beams is to provide additional FRP web reinforcement, commonly in

An alternative to fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) materials adhesively bonded to the concrete substrate is the implementation of mechanically fastened FRP (MF-FRP) systems using steel anchors to secure the laminate to the substrate. The benefit of MF-FRP, compared to adhesive bonding for FRP flexural
This paper presents a joint experimental-analytical investigation aimed at studying the brittle failure modes of RC members strengthened in flexure by FRP plates. Both midspan and plate end failure modes are studied. The finite element analyses are based on nonlinear fracture mechanics. The model co
This paper presents a rational model to predict the ultimate load capacity of reinforced concrete (RC) beams strengthened by a combination of longitudinal and transverse fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composite plates/sheets (flexure and shear strengthening system). The model is based on the truss a
