Shear strengthening of reinforced concrete beams by means of vertical prestressed reinforcement

Strengthening reinforced concrete (RC) elements critical to shear with prestressed transversal reinforcement can be an efficient method to increase the shear resistance of structures, allowing the development of the full flexural capacity. However, research on the performance of this technique is ve...
