Full Torsional Behavior of RC Beams Wrapped with FRP: Analytical Model

Torsion failure is an undesirable brittle form of failure. Although previous experimental studies have shown that using fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) sheets for torsion strengthening of reinforced concrete (RC) beams is an effective solution in many situations, very few analytical models are available for predicting the section capacity. None of these models predicted the full behavior of RC beams wrapped with FRP, account for the fact that …
