The load-deflection hysteretic behavior of four epoxy repaired reinforced concrete beams originally subjected to known histories of combined moment and shear reversals is studied. The observations indicate considerable increases in strengths of the repaired regions which change the characteristics of the repaired specimens as compared with the original specimens.
