Predicting the Torsional Strength of Reinforced Concrete Beams Strengthened with FRP Sheets in terms of Artificial Neural Networks

Reinforced concrete (RC) structural elements such as peripheral beams, beams supporting the canopy, ring beams of circular slabs are common members which could encounter torsional moments. One of the up-to-date and modern techniques for strengthening such beams is using FRP sheets. The increase of s...

Using FRP sheets as a strengthening technique would increase the flexure, shear and torsion capacity. It would also change the failure mode and/or plane.
