To improve the overall appearance of pre-cracked elevated might concrete beams, ferrocement laminates are introduced. Eight beams with dimensions of 150 mm wide, 200 mm deep, and 1500 mm overall were cast and tested for flexure. Out of eight beams, two were treated as being in charge of the beams, and the remaining two beams were strengthened by fastening ferrocement laminates at critical loads of 65 percent for two beams, 75 percent for another two beams, and 85 percent for the remaining two beams that were at risk of damage under overcapacity. Using epoxy resin adhesive, ferrocement laminates were bound to the stress surface of the pre-cracked beam. The ultimate load carrying capacity of the strengthened beams was once more tested using a flexural test. Between the control beams and the pre-cracked beams that were reinforced with ferrocement laminates, a proportionate research was conducted. According to the findings of the experiment, ferrocement can be utilised as another strengthening object for high strength concrete beams that have already fractured owing to overcrowding.
