Abstract
The main purpose of this study is investigation of the effect of CFRP strengthening on the behavior of defective vertical curved steel beams with a square hollow section. To analyze the beams, 3D modeling and nonlinear static analysis methods using the ANSYS software were applied. Results indicated that the application of CFRP sheets for strengthening the beams could recover their strength lost due to a defect significantly.
