This paper presents analytical research results to predict the shear behavior of reinforced
concrete (RC) beams shear-strengthened with near-surface mounted (NSM) FRP. In this …

The use of NSM FRP strengthening of concrete structures has become an attractive option to
retrofit the existing structures against shear and flexure. This paper reviews only the …

The application of near-surface mounted (NSM) fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) for shear
strengthening of RC beams has attracted abundant research in the past few decades, and a …

This paper presents a design approach to predict the shear capacity of RC beams
