Abstract Fiber-sheet and steel-plate strengthening methods have been mainly used for strengthening the RC structures. However, recently the application of these two methods have dramatically decreased due to premature debonding failure between concrete surface and fiber-sheet and heavy self-weight of steel-plate. This article presents experimental results of shear behavior in RC beams strengthened with GSP(Glass fiber-Steel composite Plate). The thin steel plate in GSP makes usage of the anchoring system possible. which could delay or prevent the premature debonding failure. Three reference beams and 60 strengthened beams with GSP were tested. The experimental results showed that strengthened beams with GSP considerably increased in shear capacity compared with the reference beams.
