The shear strength prediction model for fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) bar-reinforced concrete beams without stirrups in ACI440.1R-2015 does not consider the “size effect” and the effect of shear span-to-depth ratio and predicts the zero-shear strength for concrete members without longitudinal reinforcement. A modified shear strength prediction model for FRP bar-reinforced concrete beams without stirrups was presented in this paper. The proposed model takes into account the effect of concrete strength, size of the beam, shear span-to-depth ratio, reinforcement ratio, and modulus of elasticity of the longitudinal reinforcement and the “size effect.” The superiority of the proposed model has been evaluated by comparing the calculated shear strength of FRP bar-reinforced concrete beams without stirrups by the proposed model with the experimental results and calculated values by the models in design codes, respectively. It confirmed that the shear strength of FRP bar-reinforced concrete beams without stirrups by the proposed model was in better agreement with the experimental results.

The shear failure of a reinforced concrete beam generally occurs when the principal tensile stress near the neutral axis is equal to or greater than the tension strength of concrete. In order to set up a model for shear strength for FRP bar reinforced concrete beams without stirrups by the mechanical method, this paper equivalently transformed the FRP bar reinforced concrete rectangular beam with cracks as one composed of ideal elastic material to facilitate the analysis and proposed a new and more reasonable model of shear strength for FRP bar reinforced concrete beams without stirrups. Then, an experimental database including 235 FRP bar reinforced beams without stirrups was compiled to verify the validity of the proposed model. It was found that the values from the proposed model are in better agreement with the experimental results of shear strength of FRP bar reinforced concrete beams without stirrups in comparison with the models in codes.
