This paper proposed the regression model to evaluate the efficiency of Glass Fibre Reinforced Polymer(GFRP) laminates in a high strength concrete beams. In order to assess the efficiency of GFRP laminates a total of tenbeams were cast, strengthened and tested. Out of ten beams four beams were strengthened in flexure with ChoppedStrand Mat Glass Fibre Reinforced Polymer (CSMGFRP) and four beams were strengthened with Uni-Directional ClothGlass Fibre Reinforced Polymer (UDCGFRP) of 3mm and 5mm thicknesses and remaining two beams served as controlbeams. All the test specimens were tested under two-point loading. The study parameters are the percentage of steelreinforcement ratio, GFRP laminate material and their thicknesses. The results show that the prediction of the proposedregression model agreed well with the experimental test database.
