Shear Strengthening of RC Deep Beams with Symmetrically or Asymmetrically Positioned Square Openings Using CFRP Composites and Steel Protective Frames

<div>Schematic representation of FRP installation via the EBR and EBROG techniques as well as that of steel frames: (a) vertical strengthening of a beam via the EBR or EBROG technique; (b) EBR; (c) EBROG; (d) 2D plane of a steel frame (dimensions in mm); and (e) 3D plane of a steel frame. <sup>∗</sup>Note: the resin, fiber, and groove dimensions are far larger than their real size.</div>
