Abstract
Reinforced concrete beams strengthened with externally bonded CFRP sheet and prestressed CFRP are analyzed in this paper. Crack developments and displacements with curvatures for different beams are analyzed. Test results show that prestressed CFRP are able to control the development of macro cracks in concrete and prestressed CFRP is an effective method to improve the toughness of concrete, reduce strengthening cost and meanwhile enhance bearing capacity of concrete beams.
