This paper aims to investigate the effects of stirrup and bonding configurations of FRP sheets on shear load-carrying capacity of RC beams reinforced with Aramid FRP (AFRP) sheets in shear. Total ten RC beams designed as three series for studying the effects of stirrup, bonding depth of U-shape sheet and anchorage of sheet bonded on the top of beam were used in this study. All the beams were tested with a three-point loading test method. From this study, following results are obtained: shear strength of the beams bonded with U-shape sheet are dependent upon the bonding depth of sheet; a good anchorage can be provided by bonding the sheet up to the top surface of the beams for restraining the debonding behavior, but it can not prevent the debonding of the sheets from the free edge.
