Strengthening using prestressed CFRP plate is a new developed technology in recent years, which can significantly improve the flexural behavior of reinforced concrete (RC) beams. In this paper, an experimental study including four RC beams stengthened with CFRP plates using self-developed anchorage system was carried out. The nonlinear finite element models of the strengthened beams were constructed to simulate the influence of flexural behavior on RC beams strengthened with CFRP plates under different damage degrees. The experimental results indicated that initial damage degrees have greatly influence on the crack distribution and ductility, deflection and the ultimate flexural strength of the strengthened beams, as well as steel reinforcement strain and CFRP plate strain. Meanwhile, the finite element model can predict accurately performances of strengthened RC beams before CFRP debonding. In addition, the numerical analysis indicated that the sustained loading while strengthening RC beam using prestressed CFRP plates would induce adverse effect, so the live loading should be removed before starting the strengthening works.

CFRP has been used mainly for strengthening of existing structures in civil engineering area. Prestressed strengthening is being studied to solve the bond failure model featuring EBR and NSMR methods. The largest disadvantage of the prestressing system is that the system cannot be removed until the filler is cured. This problem lowers the turning rate of the equipment and makes it limited to experiment, which stresses the necessity of a new prestressing system. Therefore, the present study applies a new prestressing system which reliefs the need to wait until the curing of the filler after jacking to the prestressing of NSMR and examines the effect of the prestressing size and location of the anchorage on the strengthened behaviour. The experimental results show that the crack and yield loads increase with higher level of prestress, while the ductility tends to reduce, and the anchor plate should be installed within the effective depth ds to minimize the occurrence of shear-induced diagonal cracks. The comparison of the experimental results and results by section analysis shows that the section analysis could predict the maximum load of the specimens strengthened by prestressed NSMR within an error between 4% and 6%.
