Abstract:
The study investigates the influence of the shear performance and size effects of reinforced webless RC beams under the coupling of the shear-span ratio (λ = 1.0, 1.5, and 2.0) and the attachment angle (θ = 0°, 30°, 45°, 60°, and 90°) of the CFRP sheets, based on four-point bending loading test. The results show that: the damage modes exhibited by the specimens remain consistent when the shear-span ratios are equivalent; when the CFRP sheets are nearly perpendicular to the main diagonal crack, they have a stronger effect on the RC beams, but they also weaken the size effect of the reinforced beams; the CFRP sheets' strain quickly increases after the diagonal cracks show up; CFRP sheet enhances the shear capacity of RC beams without web by up to 83 percent. Finally, we propose a size effect formula for the shear strength of CFRP sheet-reinforced RC beams without web reinforcement, considering the coupled effects of the shear-span ratio and CFRP sheets' adhesion angle, based on the experimental and simulation results. © 2024 Elsevier Ltd
