dc.description.abstract	In this comprehensive study, firstly, the theoretical model described in ACI 440 committee report to calculate the area of transverse U wraps provided for anchored CFRP-strengthened concrete beams was examined. Then, an experimental study was carried out with a total of 10 small-scale test specimens and test parameters were set to inspect the validity of the limitations given in the above theoretical model. Theoretical calculations were performed in accordance with ACI guidelines for the above test specimens as well as for the previous research studies. Finally, the constraints of applicability of the theoretical model given in ACI 440 committee report was discussed presenting new recommendations for different scenarios.	en_US
