What is it about?

Externally bonded method would be the most potential technique for optimal shear strengthening of deficient reinforced concrete (RC) beam subjected to eliminate premature debonding failure.

Why is it important?

The main aim of this research was to eliminate debonding failure of steel plate using embedded connector systems for optimal shear strengthening of RC beam.

Perspectives

The embedded connectors optimized/reduced the dimension of the externally bonded steel plate by 60% as compared to those of arbitrarily strengthened beam. The experimental results satisfactorily verified the proposed design guideline.
