From page 39...
... • There is an interaction between transverse steel reinforcement and externally bonded FRP shear reinforcement. The effectiveness of externally bonded FRP for shear strengthening decreases as the transverse steel reinforcement ratio increases.
From page 40...
... • An interaction exists between the internal transverse steel reinforcement and externally bonded FRP shear reinforcement, but there are insufficient data to quantify this interaction. Further investigations are needed to better quantify the mechanisms involved in this interaction and incorporate it into an enhanced model for the shear resistance of RC beams strengthened with externally-bonded FRP.
