ABSTRACT
In order to restore structural strength, improvements can be made so that the structure can function as expected. This study aimed to examine the role of shear Carbon Fiber-Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) confinement in the flexural strength of reinforced concrete beams. The beam was designed as an over-reinforced beam. Observations focused on pure bending spans, which meant that failure did not occur in the shear area. A normal beam without CFRP treatment served as a control using the same material and loading specifications. This study indicated that the CFRP restraint can increase the bending moment capacity of the beam by 32.38%. Ductility, as an indicator of the ability of a structural element to improve, also increased, by 43.14%.
