Shear Strengthening of Skew RC Beams Using Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer Strips

Abstract

This study demonstrates the shear strengthening of skew Reinforced Concrete (RC) beams using Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) strips. Skew RC beams are widely practiced in the construction of bridges and flyovers. Nowadays there are many researches done to study the effect of CFRP on straight beams but not on skew beams, so this research provide a good overview on the effect of CFRP on skew beams as skew beams did not only suffer vibration like straight beams but also torsion effect due to its shap
