Abstract

Carbon fiber reinforced polymer(CFRP) strips have superior mechanical and chemical properties in comparison with conventional materials. The purpose of this study is to investigate the mechanical shear behavior of concrete structures strengthened by CFRP strips A total of 15 concrete members were made and tested. Shear span to depth ratio(a/d) and the spacing of CFRP stripswere selected as major test variables. From test results, it isshown that shear strengthening with CFRP strips can increase the first shear strength and ultimate shear strength of concrete members significantly. And the brittle shear failure mode can be changed to a ductile failure mode by CFRP strips.
