This research aimed to examine the effectiveness of using carbon fabric-reinforced matrix (C-FRM) composites to improve the shear response of reinforced concrete (RC) deep beams. Ten RC deep beams with a/h of 1.6 were tested, where a is the shear span and his is the beam depth. Test parameters included the presence of internal shear reinforcement (no shear reinforcement and minimum shear reinforcement), number of C-FRM composite layers (one and two layers), angle of inclination of the second layer of CFRM (90o and 0o with respect to the longitudinal direction of the beam), and type of matrix (cementitious and geopolymer). …
