MECHANICAL BEHAVIOR TO SHEAR OF REINFORCED CONCRETE BEAMS REINFORCED WITH CARBON FIBERS BONDED WITH EPOXY ADHESIVE

In Brazil, the concrete structure is widely used in civil construction. In this field, there is a common need to reinforce the structural elements, either by increasing the load, for calculation errors, flaws in the execution or modifications of use conditions. This experimental work aims to compare two reinforcement techniques with carbon fiber blanket on reinforced concrete beams submitted to shear stress. The tests will compare the results of reinforced concrete samples without any reinforcement, with shear reinforcement using carbon fiber blanket with techniques and materials popularly spread on the market. In this case using the structural adhesive S&P 220, and with shear reinforcement using carbon fiber blanket glued with structural adhesive NVT 201E.
