Strengthening RC T-Beams Subjected to Combined Torsion and Shear Using FRP Fabrics: Experimental Study

In several cases of loading and geometrical configurations, flexure beams, and girders are subjected to combined shear and torsion. Failure of a structural element under combined shear and torsion is brittle in nature. Externally bonded fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) fabrics are currently being studied and used for the rehabilitation, repair, and retrofit of concrete structure. The objective of this study is to investigate the strengthening …
