The composite strengthening beam combined with a variety of reinforcement technology, complementary advantages.In order to study the mechanical behavior of T-beam strengthened with CFRP board, external angle steel and external prestressed steel strand, six reinforced test beams were fabricated to compare and analyze the structural characteristics of bending stiffness, crack development and bearing capacity. The research shows that the beam strengthened by CFRP board, external angle steel and external prestressed steel strand has good working performance. The rebound force of the bending deformation of the external angle steel and the upward force of the external prestressed steel strand reliably anchor the carbon fiber board, avoiding the bond failure and slippage of the CFRP.The three kinds of reinforcing materials work together and complement each other, which can give full play to their respective strength. The composite strengthened beam with CFRP board, external angle steel and external prestressed steel strand can greatly improve the cracking load, structural stiffness and ultimate bearing capacity of the original beam, and the reinforcement effect is optima.
