his project explores the flexural behaviour of carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) andEngineered cementitious composite (ECC) strengthened reinforced concrete (RC) beams. For flexural strengthening ofRC beams, total 6 beams, with (150 x 300) mm rectangular cross section and of span 1900 mm are casted. The beamsare designed as under – reinforced concrete beams. Four beams are strengthened with CFRP rods and ECC which areparallel to beam axis at the bottom under virgin condition and tested until failure; the remaining two beams are used ascontrol specimens. Static responses of all beams are evaluated in terms of strength, stiffness, ductility ratio, energyabsorption capacity factor, compositeness between ECC and concrete and the associated failure modes. The resultsshows that the strengthened beams exhibit increased flexural strength, enhanced flexural stiffness and composite actionuntil failure.
