Infrastructure development is proliferating. Many reinforced concrete and masonry buildings areconstructed annually around the world. With this, there are large numbers of them which deteriorate or become unsafeto use because of changes in use, changes in loading, change in design configuration, inferior building procedure. Thusrepairing and retrofitting these structures for safe usage of these structures has a great market. There are severalsituations in which a civil structure would require strengthening or rehabilitation due to lack of strength and durability.Beams may be strengthened in flexure through the use of textile fabric bonded to their tension zone using epoxy adhesive.Due to increasing use of textile industrial materials in construction industry, the use of textile fabrics is becomingpopular. The paper makes an experimental study of the RCC beam performance in flexure after application of textilefabric at tension surface of RC beam. An experiment study is carried out to study the load carrying capacity anddeflection until failure of RCC beams to enhance the flexural capacity of the beams along with the existing practice ofdoing the repair work.
