In this research the flexural of basalt fiber fabric sheet strengthened reinforced concrete (RC) beams of M25grade of concrete. The experimental program was including strengthening and testing. Simply supported rectangularbeam of size 150*250*1000 strengthened with sheets. Total fifteen specimens were tested. Which are three beamspecimens was tested as control beams and remaining for founded various damage degrees. The results indicate that theload carrying capacity of beams will significantly increased as the number of the basalt fiber fabric layer will beincreased. In order to study the flexural behaviour of the beam, the specimen was only subjected to two point loadingmechanism only. The beams was wrapped with basalt fiber sheets in single u-type layering, double u-type layering,double bottom layering, double layering along the different strength of the beam. The results have been analyzed anduseful conclusions have been drawn.
