A review of shear behavior of concrete beams reinforced by FRP bars

Abstract EN

Using fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) in the concrete structures was rapidly increased throughout the past two decades.

Corrosion-free properties and the high ratio of strength-to-weight of the FRP reinforcement has led to the significant increase of structures' service life.

In the present work, the earlier studies that are associated with shear behaviour of the beams that have been reinforced by the FRP bars are reviewed.

Many researchers have investigated shear behavior of the beams of concrete that have been reinforced by the FRP bars and determined their capacity.

Some of them have per-formed experimental investigations through the testing of several beams with varying some of the parameters, whereas the others have been theoretical for estimating shear capacity of the beam.

This study presents as well, a review for all of the codes and researcher equations for shear design of the beams that have been rein-forced by the FRP in the concrete structures was rapidly increased throughout the past two decades.
