Abstract

This research reviews existing literature on RC beams strengthened techniques for shear. Research indicates that fiber-reinforced polymers (FRP) are best utilized and effective materials to enhance RC beams. These materials have corrosion resistance and exceptional strength. The strengthening of reinforced beams by FRP depends on the nature of fiber, arrangement, materials, and manner of strengthening. The current article analyzes the properties, advantages, and applications the FRP composites. In addition to the mechanisms of failure, properties, and behaviors of FRP-strengthened reinforced beams undergoing shear with various strengthening techniques such as EB, NSM, and ETS.
