Shear Strengthening of Reinforced Concrete (RC) with FRP Sheets Using Different Guidelines

The aim of this study is to investigate the influence fiber reinforcement polymer (FRP) on shear behavior concrete (RC) beams with various guidelines. FRP thickness, beam depth and strength at ultimate load are considered as main parameters. A finite element (FE) by using ANSYS computer program was used analyze reinforced beams. numerical models were effect depth, strength, CFRP sheet configuration, thickness strengthened sheets compared different results from ACI guideline show little difference FE, which make it suitable for RC sheets.
