Efficacy of Thermally Conditioned Sisal FRP Composite on the Shear Characteristics of Reinforced Concrete Beams

Table 4

Experimental results of various beam groups.

Group designation	Beam designation	Failure of FRP	Deflection at midspan (mm)	Average deflection at midspan (mm)	Comments on deflection	Ultimate load (KN)	Ultimate load (KN); Average	Strengthening effect (%)
Group A	ConS1	—	8.201	8.643	—	88	90	—
	ConS2		9.085			92
Group B	SS1	Yes	9.927	10.105	Results in higher deflection, hence, gives sufficient warning.	163	160	77.8%
	SS2		10.283			157
Group C	SS3	No	6.825	6.656	Deflections are lower than fully wrapped beams.	117	120	33.4%
	SS4		6.487			123
