Examples

The goal of this study is to examine experimentally and numerically the influence of large rectangular web openings in the flexure zone on the response of unstrengthened and strengthened RC beams.
Academic text (2018) -
In the first group, two unstrengthened beams were tested under four-point bending (4PB).

Figure 19 depicts the effect of opening size on the performance of unstrengthened beams.
Academic text (2018) -
A strengthening configuration was designed for each unstrengthened beam based on its respective crack patterns.
Academic text (2018) -
Out of the four beams with openings, two specimens were unstrengthened and the other two were strengthened with two different schemes.
Academic text (2018) -
The peak load of the beam was 193 kN, which is only about a 7% increase over that of the unstrengthened specimen BC-O1-CPL.
Academic text (2018) -
Out of the six T-beams with openings, two specimens were unstrengthened and four beams were strengthened with externally bonded CFRP composite sheets.
Academic text (2018) -
The damage during loading was concentrated around the curtailment point of the CFRP fabrics at the midspan in both unstrengthened and strengthened parts of the beam where the plastic hinge formed.
Academic text (2017) -
For beams with a 900 mm opening, it is demonstrated from Table 5 that strengthening schemes 3-6 changed the failure mode of the unstrengthened specimen from brittle shear to flexural failure of the top chord.
Academic text (2018) -
However, for unstrengthened beams with lo/h c greater than or equal to 10, load was fully taken by the top chord, and due to the large span-to-depth ratio of the top chord, flexural failure was predicted at critical sections of the top chord near mid-span and close to the opening edge.

Morphology
unstrengthened = strengthened (transparent) = un + strengthen + ed
The negation prefix 'un-' is directly added to the adjective 'strengthened' to indicate 'not made stronger', a regular and productive formation.
Etymology
The word unstrengthened is made of un- 'not' and strengthen 'to make strong', which comes from the common word strong. So it means 'not made stronger' or left without extra support, like a wall left without extra beams.
