摘要：

The behavior of fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) strengthened reinforced concrete beams subjected to torsional loads has not been well understood compared to other loads. Interaction of different components of concrete, steel, and FRP in addition to the complex compatibility issues associated with torsional deformations have made it difficult to provide an accurate analytical solution. In this paper an analytical method is introduced for evaluation of the torsional capacity of FRP strengthened RC beams. In this method, the interaction of different components is allowed by fulfilling equilibrium and compatibility conditions throughout the loading regime while the ultimate torque of the beam is calculated similarly to the well-known compression field theory. It is shown that the method is capable of predicting the ultimate torque of FRP-strengthened RC beams reasonably accurately.
