Abstract

Glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) are considered to increase the lifespan of concrete structures. GFRP shows many important and necessary properties such as low weight to strength ratio, non-corrosive, high fatigue strength, and high tensile strength, crack pattern and crack width, load-deflection curves, etc. RC deep beams are highly resistant to bending failure and therefore have improved flexural performance. This study reviewed the literature on the shear behavior of deep beams strengthened with GFRP sheets. This study, in future will extend preliminary support for new method of section reinforcement in element design. In this paper, shear strengthening with various techniques with the application of FRP has been presented. This study represents preliminary support for proposing a new shear strengthening technique during the design of the member.
