“…Based on the previous research studies, the basic effective parameters that affecting the shear capacity of FRP-RC beams are the width of web (b w ), effective depth of beam (d), shear span to depth ratio (a/d), concrete compressive strength (f c ′ ), longitudinal reinforcement ratio (ρ f ) and elastic modulus of FRP bars (E f ) [35,[45][46][47][48][49]. An experimental database of 138 test specimens failed in shear was obtained from different previous investigations [31,36,45,47,[49][50][51][52][53][54][55][56][57][58][59][60][61][62][63][64][65]. During the collection stage, specimens with shear span to depth ratios between 2.4 and 6.5 were included but deeper and slender beams were omitted from the database.…”
