Abstract (EN): The aim of this work is to analyze the strength of reinforced concrete (RC) beams strengthened with an externally bonded carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) and to study the influence of some parameters such as external end anchorage systems, deflection, curvature, modes of failure and efficiency of the CFRP on the strengthened RC beams. The experimental research developed is described and the main results obtained are presented and discussed.
