| Abstract | This paper is an attempt to study the effect of CFRP strengthened RC beams under four point bending test. Two categories of beams are scaled in such a way that the ratio of overall depth to width is kept constant at 1.33 and effective span to the width of the beams is also kept at 10. Each category of the beams are designed to measure the effect of CFRP on flexural strengthening. Failure pattern of the beams are also shown and compared with available models. CFRP sheets are applied at the bottom of the beams assuming minimum exposure of the structural member. Total twelve numbers of the beams are tested in which two beams are considered as control beams. Shear reinforcement is avoided in middle one-third portion to have pure flexural failure at that zone. At the end, it is found that the amount of strengthening ratio (length of CFRP, Lc to effective length L) does not affect ultimate strength significantly. |
