Abstract:
The design example, “Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) Shear Strengthening,” works through calculations for a one way slab with an interior beam that requires shear strengthening. The example follows the provisions of ACI CODE 318-19, “Building Code Requirements for Structural Concrete and Commentary.”
ACI Committee E702, “Designing Concrete Structures Committee,” is part of the ACI Educational Committee structure. Their mission is to develop educational programs and instructional materials within the area of design. The committee has developed various design examples to illustrate the use of various ACI documents. These examples provide step-by-step calculations with references to applicable code provisions for common member design problems, and may also include calculations for common concrete testing procedures, field data analysis, or evaluations.
