Abstract: This paper explores the destruction progress, failure modes and shear capacity for the reinforced concrete beams shear strengthened with ETS method, according to the study and analysis on 4 RC beams. According to relative analysis between "Code for design of concrete structures (GB 50010—2010)" and "Building Code Requirements for Structural Concrete (ACI 318-05) and Commentary (ACI 318R-05)", calculated values are more conservative than experimental values. The results indicate that reinforced bars can delay the development cracking, improve the cracking load and shear capacity of the beam. The RC beams strengthened by ETS method show good mechanical and deformation properties.

Key words: shear strengthening, ETS method, STM, shear capacity
