Abstract:
It is a common practice to strengthen and/or repair RC beam/slab with
bonded steel plate to increase/restore its carrying capacity in flexure. This method is
preferred than FRP application because of its low cost and higher ductility.
However, scarce number of technical articles that give closed form solution for
getting steel plate thickness and almost there is no available articles that give
explicit equation for determining anchor bolts force and their method of design.
In this paper closed form closed form solutions for required steel plate area
and anchor bolts force have been given All practical aspects of steep plate with,
thickness, plate width/ thickness ratio limits and also limit on neutral axis depth
have been considered. Methods of designing anchor bolts will be given later on.
Three design equations for getting steel plate area and two equations for getting
anchor bolts force are explicitly cited.
1- Analysis of steel plated reinforced rectangular section:
According to ACI 318 014, Ref. (1), the total amount of steel in a singly
reinforced section should not exceed 0.75

Conclusion :
Several equations based on first principles of design of singly rectangular cross
section have been developed .
Equations (4),(6) and (7) can be used for getting area of steel plate and and give
practically identical values .while equations (16),(18) and (19) can be used be to
give shear force in anchor bolts and they also practically give identical values.
