Abstract

Strengthening of reinforced concrete (RC) continuous beams in shear have received very little attention among researchers even though most existing structures are in the form of continuous condition such as part of a floor-beam system. Therefore, in order to address the gap, a study on shear strengthening and shear repair of reinforced concrete continuous beam using Carbon Fibre Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) strips was conducted [15].  The validation of the experimental results was conducted with a simulation study using a finite element software ATENA v4 [16].  The research variables were number of layers of CFRP strips (one or two layers), wrapping schemes (four sides or three sides) and orientation of CFRP strips (0/90 or 45/135 degree’s). From the analysis of the finite element results, ATENA shows it has successfully simulated the shear behaviour of strengthened and repaired of 2-span continuous RC beams externally bonded by CFRP strips.
