Prediction the Shear Strength for FRP Shear Strengthened RC Beams Based on Optimised Truss Models
This paper presents the analytical optimised truss model based on the principle of the minimum total strain energy theorem. The model was validated against 90 experimental data collected from the literature. The predicted shear strength in the analysis showed a very satisfactory correlation with the test results, with the average experimental/analytical failure load ratio of…
