Experiments for shear strengthening of reinforced concrete beams using epoxy and anchor bonded glass fiber-steel plate(GSP) were carried out. This study was to investigate the shear strengthening effect of the reinforced concrete beams strengthened by externally bonded GSP. Sixty three specimens with different parameter were tested to evaluate the corresponding shear strengthening effects. From the experimental results it was confirmed that the externally bonded GSP is effective for the shear strengthening of the reinforced concrete beams.
