Cast study II
Shear strengthening

CFRP fabric (0.16 mm thick.) was
impregnated in two-parts epoxy
resin to form a composite system
and was applied externally on the
concrete beams at the 2 nd floor to
increase their total shear capacity.

V = V +V +V frp

c
s

V is the shear capacity of the concrete, V is the shear capacity
c
s
of steel stirrup and V frp is the contribution of FRP.
