![]() However, the strengthening the beams with one or three layers of textile mesh that had a 45° orientation was the most effective configuration to improve the shear capacity (VR). ![]() In addition, the shear influence of TRM was more dominant when the beams were subjected to a uniformly distributed load. The results of the parametric study show that increasing the cross section depth improved the load capacity of the shear strengthened RC beams and reduced the shear contribution of TRM. Subsequently, a parametric study will be conducted on the validated FEA models to examine the effect of various beams' depths, load distributions, and orientations and stacking sequences of the textile's mesh layers. FEA models of TRM shear strengthened RC beams will be developed and validated against experimental study from the literature. In this study, nonlinear finite-element analysis (FEA) will be employed to investigate textile-reinforced mortar (TRM) jackets for shear strengthened reinforced concrete (RC) beams.
