Abstract
This paper presents the results obtained during an experimental campaign carried out in order to investigate the behaviour of reinforced concrete beams strengthened on shear with composite materials. In order to compare their performance, two different strengthening techniques were used: Fibre Reinforced polymers (FRP) and Fibre Reinforced Cementitious Matrix (FRCM) composites. The beams were simple supported and a traditional four point bending scheme was used to execute the tests. Midspan displacements were measured using linear variable transducers (LVDTS) while strain gauges were placed on the stirrups to measure strains.
