This book presents a systematic approach to the experimental,
theoretical, and numerical investigation of reinforced concrete
(RC) T-beams strengthened in shear with glass-fibre-reinforced
polymers (GFRP) with variation in transverse steel reinforcements.
It discusses experiments conducted on simply supported RC T-beams
for control beams with and without transverse steel reinforcements
and beams strengthened in shear with GFRP sheets and strips in
different configurations, orientations, and variation of layers for
each type of stirrup spacing. The book also includes a detailed
numerical study using ANSYS performed in two stages. The first
stage consists of selecting and testing relevant materials in the
laboratory to establish the physical and mechanical properties of
the materials. The second stage then involves testing beams for
shear under two-point static loading systems. The test results
demonstrate the advantage of using an externally applied,
epoxy-bonded GFRP sheets and strips to increase the shear capacity
of the beams. The finite element method (FEM) analysis results
verify the experimental results. The book will serve as a valuable
resource for researchers and practicing civil engineers alike.
