    This is a preliminary work on the application of low-cost glass fiber-reinforced polymer composites (Lo-Gs) wraps to enhance the structural response of shear-critical deep beams with and without openings. This study explores the performance of nine deep beams divided into three groups depending on the existence and number of longitudinal openings: solid section beams (Group 1), beams with one opening (Group 2), and beams with two openings (Group 3). Each group consisted of one unstrengthened beam and two beams strengthened with either one or two layers of Lo-Gs wraps. The results showed that Lo-Gs confinement effectively delayed failure in strengthened beams, while having minimal impact on the sudden failure behavior of unstrengthened specimens. Solid section beams exhibited peak load increases of 12.1% and 20.2% with one and two wraps, respectively. In contrast, beams with openings demonstrated higher but more variable strength gains. The presence of longitudinal openings diminished the effectiveness of the wraps in improving ultimate deflection and energy dissipation. While solid beams achieved up to a 130.1% increase in energy dissipation, beams with one and two openings showed lower gains of 63.4% and 57.0%, respectively. Existing design models, calibrated for synthetic FRPs, poorly predicted the behavior of beams with Lo-Gs wraps and neglected the effects of openings, emphasizing the need for further research and model development to address these limitations.

    This study presents an experimental framework with seventeen beams to investigate the impact of loading type, configuration, and through-bolt anchorage on LC-GFRP (Low-Cost Glass-Fiber-Reinforced Polymer) confinement performance. Beams underwent three-point and four-point bending, with LC-GFRP applied in various ways, including U-shaped, side-bonded, and fully wrapped, with and without anchors. The performance of LC-GFRP was compared to CFRP (Carbon-Fiber-Reinforced Polymer) and sisal wraps. LC-GFRP in side-bonded and U-shaped configurations without anchors under three-point bending showed no shear failure, while those under four-point bending without anchors experienced shear failure. With anchors, U-shaped configurations successfully prevented shear failure. The side-bonded, U-shaped, and U-shaped configurations along the full span with anchors demonstrated peak capacity enhancements of 72.11%, 43.66%, and 68.39% higher improvements than the corresponding configurations without anchors, respectively. Wrapping all sides of the beam with LC-GFRP or CFRP prevented shear failure without additional anchors, with complete wrapping being the most efficient method. When anchors were used, significant capacity enhancements were observed. Existing shear strength prediction models were evaluated, highlighting the need for more tailored expressions for LC-GFRP confinement, especially for non-U-shaped configurations.

    The research specifically focuses on the effects of recycled fine aggregates as partial replacements for natural aggregates, contributing to the growing body of knowledge on sustainable construction materials. This study contributes to the understanding of how recycled materials can be effectively utilized in concrete construction, promoting sustainability while maintaining structural integrity. The testing program includes 13 beams, all designed with a target compressive strength of 15 MPa, using seven different types of fine aggregates. All tested beams experienced mixed shear failure, starting with flexural cracks beneath the loading point and progressing to flexural-shear and diagonal shear cracks as the load increased. Failure was marked by significant diagonal cracks leading to brittle collapse and reduced beam capacity. Recycled aggregate beams exhibited a slight increase in flexural cracks, with critical shear cracks widening significantly when loads exceeded 50% of ultimate strength. The use of recycled brick aggregates, recycled concrete aggregates, fly ash, and sugarcane bagasse ash led to reduced shear strength and deflection capacity. Notably, recycled fine aggregate concrete beams with 10% cement clay interlocking bricks performed better than the control beam. The load-deflection response was similar across beams, indicating no impact on elastic stiffness.
