This research aims to study the efficiency of flexural strengthening of RC beams with different lengths of CFRP strips by using (NSM) technique. The study is carried out experimentally on (14) concrete beams; the variables considered are (the length and number of CFRP strips). This is established by dividing the work into two groups: the first one includes (6) beams strengthened by variable carbon fiber strip lengths and one strip, The second group includes (6) beams strengthened by variable carbon fiber strip lengths and two strips, as well as two control beams. The results indicate that carbon fibers have a noticeable effect on increasing the bearing capacity of (NSM) strengthened beams. The results also show that strengthening the beams by CFRP and not along the length of the beam and in one layer does not contribute to increasing beam strength, but when the number of layers increases, an increase in beam strength is noticed at a rate range (40%-72%).

This paper makes an experimental and analytical investigation of cracks characteristics in Fiber Reinforced Polymer strengthened RC beams under different levels of sustained load and Reinforced ratio. As the equations available for conventional RC b eams are inappropriate for the calculation of the short-term crack width in FRP-strengthened RC beams[8], a statistical analysis is carried out on available test data from international sources [6-9-10] and from the test results obtained in the current study (Concrete Labor- Civil engineering Department- Damascus University-2014) to establish a new equation that considers the effect of the FRP laminates. This equation is a correlation of stress in steel bars, concrete surface tension , and effective side cover. The long-term crack width is then related to the instantaneous crack width by empirical equations which are derived from the test results obtained in the current study.
The mixed use of steel bars and carbon rods in concrete beams can offer beams with different behaviour from that of steel reinforcement only. This paper studies the case of reinforcing concrete beams with two layers of bars, and the main para­meters investigated are the proportion and the distribution of carbon rods in the cross-section. Four groups containing 12 beams are tested, and each is reinforced with 4 bars located in two layers. The first group includes three control beams reinforced with steel bars, while the second includes three beams reinforced with carbon bars. Each of the third and fourth groups includes three beams reinforced with two steel bars and two carbon bars, whereas in the third group, steel bars are located above carbon ones, but in the fourth group, steel bars are located under carbon ones. Concrete beams reinforced with carbon rods in the second group exhibit a higher load carrying capacity and deflections, compared with other beams. However, the beams in the third and fourth groups have approximately the same load carrying capacity and the same behaviour up to the load level equal to 75% of their load carrying capacity. But after that, the beams in the fourth group become more deformed, compared with those of the third group.
Beams are considered as one of the most loaded concrete elements, which needs to be strengthened either as a result of insufficient of concrete section, or insufficient rebar or increased loads, or the result of a superficial steel or corrosion of internal steel reinforcement, and other reasons that we will mention them what we need to study this. The damaged structural elements and their inability to function fully as a result of exposure to different environmental factors damage materials and lead to lower resistance, or because of the existence of of an executive defects or inappropriate investment for its, leads to the need to rehabilitate maintenance and repair or reinforcement. So it was resorting to strengthen either magnify sections or supply necessary reinforcement or steel platelets linking external supported well to concrete section, and because of the difficulty of execution the recent studies has been implemented on the use of more efficient material which is concentrated fiber reinforced polymers. We will present here to methods of strengthening the shear up to the global studies conducted using these materials from polymers, which are characterized by high resistance to tensile and large resistance to environmental factors and weather conditions and ease of application in the specified permissible sites.
Insuring structural system ductility is a main factor justifying the reduction made on design earthquake forces. Reinforced concrete shear wall is one of the most important systems used for earthquake resistance of buildings. In this research, many factors affecting curvature ductility of shear wall sections are studied. These factors are reinforcement ratio, reinforcement distribution (uniform and concentrated), axial force level, section length, and material properties. Results show that increasing reinforcement ratio, will reduce ductility in case of uniform reinforced shear walls, but it stays stable in case of concentrated reinforcement. As for axial force level, curvature ductility becomes lower as axial force increases and almost diminishes when it becomes more than half ultimate axial force bearing capacity.
