Abstract

A simple problem has been formulated as a part of this study and reinforced concrete (RC) beam specimens, purposefully designed to be weak in shear are casted. M-25 concrete, Fe – 415 main steel and Fe – 250 stirrups are used for the experimentation. There are many external strengthening mechanisms are adopted to strengthen the beam weak in shear. Strengthening using CFRP wrap are carried out as a part of this study. The present work is an attempt in which measurement of various parameters like load at first crack, and load at failure, deflection at first crack and deflection at failure has been carried out. Also, an attempt has been made to compare different parameters and determine which mechanism is the best for maximum load carrying capacity.
