Abstract:
In this study the carbon Fiber Reinforcement Polymer (CFRP) on
increasing shear capacity of reinforcement concrete deep beams.
Different methods of strengthening of structures were used to calculate
shear capacity. These methods were ACI, Triantafillou, Carolin and
Zhichao.
The parameters used in this work were thickness of (CFRP), depth of
beam and concrete compressive strength using three configuration of
(CFRP) such as fully wrapped, U and two sides wrapped. The design of
shear strength were prepared by Microsoft Excel spread sheets for the
three configuration of wrapping to study the effect of different parameters
on shear capacity of deep beams. It was found for the fully wrapped, ACI
method appears to predict the (CFRP) shear contribution with a relatively
high discrepancy with respect to Triantafillou, Carolin and Zhichao and
Triantafillou method overestimates results of shear capacity for U, or two
sides wrapped with respect to ACI Method
