Summary: | Failure in direct shear is sudden and catastrophic in concrete
structures, Several techniques have been developed for shear
strengthening of push-off specimens representing direct
shear. In this research, the effectiveness of Near-surface
mounted (NSM) FRP and steel bars as a strengthening
technique for direct shear in normal strength concrete (NSC)
and self-compacted concrete (SCC) are studied. As a result of
the experimental work, it was observed that the NSM steel
bars increased the shear capacity by 48 and 44% for both
types of concrete NSC and SCC respectively, while the NSM
CFRP rods increased the shear capacity by 30% and 33% for
both NSC and SCC respectively. It was also observed that
strengthening at 90° was more effective in terms of shear
strength compared to 45° with a difference in the range of 8%
for NSC and 5% for SCC. The analytical results are very close
to the experimental ones.
