ABSTRACT

Last three columns of Table 2 shows the experimentally observed shear strength, analytically predicted

shear capacity and ratio of these two values, respectively. The ratios obtained in the last column clearly indicate that predicted shear capacities are in a good agreement with experimental values. This comparison, thus, add a sufficient degree of confidence on present formulation, and developed program in order to use them for shear capacity prediction of FRP strengthened beam-column joints.
