Abstract: | This paper deals with the shear strengthening of Reinforced Concrete (RC) flexural members with externally bonded Fiber-Reinforced
Polymers (FRPs). The interaction between an external FRP and an internal transverse steel reinforcement is not considered
in actual code recommendations, but it strongly influences the efficiency of the shear strengthening rehabilitation technique
and, as a consequence, the computation of interacting contributions to the nominal shear strength of beams. This circumstance
is also discussed on the basis of the results of an experimental investigation of rectangular RC beams strengthened in shear
with “U-jacketed” carbon FRP sheets. Based on experimental results of the present and other investigations, a new analytical
model for describing the shear capacity of RC beams strengthened according to the most common schemes (side-bonded and “U-jacketed”),
taking into account the interaction between steel and FRP shear strength contributions, is proposed.
