Shear strengthening of RC deep beams with large openings using carbon fiber reinforced polymers (CFRP)

This research deals with the experimental study of the behaviour of reinforced concrete deep beams with or without large rectangular openings as well as openings strengthened using externally bonded Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) composites in shear. The structural behaviour, including the l...
