Abstract
The percentage enhancement in the shear capacity of the beams ranged from 43% to 114% indicating the successful implementation of the strengthening methods provided. An average enhancement in shear capacity of 83%, 72% and 62% were observed in carbon FRCM, glass FRCM and PBO-FRCM, respectively. The failure mode of the strengthened specimens was sensitive to the type and configuration of FRCM in addition to the number of FRCM layers. The strengthening systems also resulted in higher deflection at failure and energy absorption value of the strengthened beams with an average of 94% and 204% relative to the reference specimen, respectively.
