Abstract
This study discusses the use of Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) composites to enhance the strength and durability of Reinforced Concrete (RC) beams, particularly those made with M 35 grade concrete. The article highlights the benefits of using FRP composites, such as increased strength and ductility, for repairing damaged or corroded beams and improving the resilience of RC-framed structures. The article also emphasizes the need for further research on the economic benefits and crash behaviour of Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) layers in M 35 grade RC frames, building on previous studies conducted with M 30 grade concrete. The article provides methodologies for reinforcing M 35 grade RC beams using CFRP sheets, with a focus on their impact on structural performance when wrapped around pre-cracked beams. The article concludes by discussing the adaptability and effectiveness of FRP composites across different concrete compositions, particularly in M 35 grade contexts.
