Abstract
The paper presents the analysis of the long-term deformability of the reinforced concrete beams strengthened
with CFRP. The analysis is based on the obtained numerical and experimental data. The development of deformations
is divided into stages. The comparison of the cracking process in the compressed and tensioned areas is performed. The
comparative analysis of the results has shown that more attention should be paid to the creep of concrete and the influence of the tensioned reinforcement when the external load is decreased. The study has shown that the compression of
the section subjected to long-term loading turns into tension when the external load is removed. Due to the effect of the
tensile force, cracks appear on the top of the compressed section. Therefore, re-loading of the beam requires further
evaluation of the strength degradation in the concrete of the compressed area.
