This paper presents the test results of an experimental study on shear deficient reinforced concrete (RC) deep beams strengthened with externally bonded glass fibre reinforced polymer (GFRP) sheets and mechanical anchors. A total of nine deep beams are prepared. One beam is kept as un-strengthened. Four beams are strengthened using GFRP sheets only at shear spans by varying the number of layers. The remaining four beams are strengthened using both GFRP sheets and mechanical anchors at shear spans. The shear capacity, failure mode, and deflections are studied with respect to the different strengthening techniques. The optimum enhancement in shear capacity of these beams is observed as 25.64% and 55.5% for GFRP strengthened beams and GFRP strengthened anchored beams, respectively with respect to the un-strengthened beam. Moreover, the experimental results are also compared with the results predicted from the design guidelines and models available in the literature, which shows good agreement.

An experimental study was conducted on three RC Deep beams along with Analytical simulation under three point loading in which one specimen was provided with Rolled section reinforcement. The specimens are designed according to IS 456:2000 . In one specimen the total reinforcement area was replaced with rolled I-Section. Steel plate grade of MS250 of 3mm thickness was molded as rolled I- Section. Various parameters like flexural behavior, shear strength, deflection, crack width, stress and ductility were calculated. For improving the bond strength between steel section and concrete in composite member, shear struts are provided. The length to depth ratio (l/d) was 1.875 and shear span to depth ratio (a/d) was 0.75. Finite element simulation was carried out by using ANSYS 18.1. and comparison was made  in between Analytical and Experimental results.
