Abstract |
The primary concern of this paper is to experimentally investigate the shear capacity enhancement of reinforced concrete beams using Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymers (CFRP) and Jute Fiber Reinforced P...olymers (JFRP) sheets without using any web reinforcement to it. A total of ten beams, five of which were made of brick aggregate and other five were made of stone aggregate, were prepared. Two of these beams were taken as control beams whereas, others were confined with different arrangements of CFRP and JFRP sheets. In both cases, shear capacity of reinforced concrete beams (RC Beams) increased significantly compared with the control ones. In particular, for beams of brick aggregate, JFRP and CFRP sheets proved to be more efficient to enhance shear capacity (about 154% and 151% respectively) than for beams with stone aggregates (about 45% and 40% respectively).show more
