Abstract:Reinforced Concrete (RC) members in existing RC structures are susceptible to shear-critical due to their under-reinforced design. Thus, implementing a retrofitting technique is essential to eliminate the casualties that could arise from sudden and catastrophic collapses due to these members’ brittleness. Among other proposed techniques, using Carbon-Fiber Reinforced Polymers (C-FRP) ropes to increase the shear strength of RC structural elements has proved to be a promising reinforcement application.
