Preparation of Reinforced Concrete (RC) Beams. Ready-mixed concrete with compressive strength of 30 N/mm2 was used in this study. The dimension of beams was 100 × 130 with a total length of 1600 mm. The control beam consisted two longitudinal high yield steel of 10 mm diameter in both compression and tension whereas reinforcement for shear link was 6 mm mild steel with spacing 300 mm from center to center along the beam length. Meanwhile, there was no shear reinforcement provided at the mid-span (flexural zone) for the unstrengthened and beams for strengthening purposes as shown in Fig. 1.
