Abstract

This paper represents a historical review, state-of-the-art review, on the experimental researches carried out on corbels in general and strengthening of corbels in particular. The corbels discussed are made of normal, high-strength and self-compacting concrete and subjected to two types of loading, monotonic and repeated loadings. Moreover, a review on the techniques of strengthening used to enhance the load carrying capacities of reinforced concrete corbels is presented too. Finally, directions for future work are proposed and a comprehensive list of references is provided.
