<strong>of</strong> using externally applied, epoxy-bonded CFRP system to restore or increase the loadcarrying<br />

capacity in shear <strong>of</strong> RC beams. The CFRP system has been found to increase<br />

significantly the serviceability, ductility, and ultimate shear strength <strong>of</strong> a concrete beam.<br />

Restoring beam shear strength using CFRP is a highly effective technique.<br />

Based on the experiments and analysis carried out at NJIT and the results from<br />

other researchers, new analysis and design methods for both regular and deep RC beams<br />

with externally bonded CFRP shear strengthening have also been proposed as well.
