Abstract

This study investigates the shear failure characteristics of reinforced concrete (RC) beams retrofitted with Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) sheets. Fifteen RC beams were initially tested for shear capacity and then retrofitted using various GFRP wrapping techniques, including full wrapping, U-shaped wrapping, side wrapping, vertical alignment, and 45-degree inclined wrapping. The results revealed significant enhancements in shear capacity, with vertical alignment wrapping showing the highest increase. The study concludes that GFRP wrapping is an effective and economical method for retrofitting shear-deficient RC beams, contributing to improved structural safety.
