Abstract
This paper discusses the experimental results on the shear behaviour of concrete wide beams reinforced with glass fibre reinforced polymer (GFRP) plates as shear reinforcement. In order to examine the shear performance, a total of six concrete wide beams were manufactured and tested. All the specimens were designed to have the same number of legs of shear reinforcement. The transverse spacing of shear reinforcement was considered as a variable to investigate the influence of transverse spacing of concrete wide beams. From the test results, it is observed that the shear strength increased when transverse spacing of the shear reinforcement decreased. In addition, an equation is proposed to predict the shear strength of concrete wide beams in order to consider the influence of transverse spacing of the shear reinforcement. The equation is based on the test results and modified ACI 318-14. It is verified that the proposed equation is considered to be better than ACI 318-14. 7 refs.
