The experimental study was carried out on the cyclic loading behaviors of impaired reinforced concrete beams strengthening with prestressed CFRP sheets. Eight beams in four groups with or without strengthening with prestressed CFRP sheets were tested, in which one or two layers of prestressed CFRP sheet were bonded on the bottom surface of the beams. Based on the analyses of test results, the flexural stiffness and ultimate resistance under cyclic load were effectively enhanced for the strengthened beams with the increasing layers of CFRP sheet, but the ductility of their mid-span deflection was reduced.

In order to improve the bearing capacity of SRC which is related with deformation and stiffiness, SRC beams should be strengthened by CFRP. Based on the experiment of six pre-splitting steel reinforced concrete beams strengthened with (Prestressed) CFRP sheets, the deformation of beams are discussed. Load-deformation curves are obtained by the experiment. Considering the influence of intial bending moment on SRC beams, the calculated deformation formulas of SRC beams strengthened by (Prestressed) CFRP are deduced. The results showed that the load-deformation curves of normal and strengthened beams respectively showed three and two linear characteristics. The theoretical results which calculated by the formulas of deformation are well agreement with the experimental results.
