Experimental Assessment of Predamage Effects and Analytical Prediction of Debonding Load in FRCM Shear-Strengthened RC Beams
This study investigates the shear behavior of reinforced concrete (RC) beams strengthened with unanchored polyparaphenylene benzobisoxazole fabric-reinforced cementitious matrix (PBO-FRCM) U-wrap systems, with particular emphasis on debonding-controlled failure mechanisms, adverse shear interaction with internal stee...
