The reinforcement technique of near-surface mounted?NSM?prestressed helical rib steel wire (PHRSW) with wide raw material sources, lower in price and high application value can significantly enhance the flexural behavior of reinforced-concrete (RC) structures. Based on 8 flexural RC beams reinforced with NSM PHRSW, performance of test beams under different groove widths (10 mm, 15 mm and 20 mm) and concrete strengths (C30 and C40) was analyzed, including load-deflection, ductility, flexural capacity, strain of longitudinal steel bar and HRSW, failure mode and crack propagation. The results show that the overall flexural behavior RC beams reinforced with NSM PHRSW was significantly improved. There is a good entirety bearing capacity between the longitudinal reinforcement and PHRSW of reinforced beam with suitable groove size. The comprehensive performance of reinforced beams increases first then decreases, with the increase of groove size. The higher the strength of concrete, the more significant the influence of groove size. There is an optimal match between groove width and concrete strength for RC beams reinforced with NSM PHRSW. Considering comprehensive property of reinforced beams, groove width with 15mmwas best in this research. The results can make the research of RC beams reinforced with NSM PHRSW more comprehensive and in-depth, and provide design basis for its engineering application.
