From page 4...
... Most research has focused on strengthening of axially loaded or flexural members with limited experimental and analytical data on the use of FRP systems for shear strengthening of girders. This research, performed under NCHRP Project 12-75, was initiated to address FRPrelated shear design issues and related specifications and design methods.
