Abstract—The objective of the study is to know the structural behavior of reinforced concrete beams experimentally using externally bonded carbon fiber reinforced polymer strips which are deficient in shear .The test parameters includes changes in modes of failure, crack pattern ,load carrying capacity, increase in shear capacity with varying strengthening methods of carbon fiber reinforced polymer with unidirectional fabric . Five beams were casted and tested under two point loading with one control beam and two beams with strips of U-wrapping and two beams with side strips. Test results shows that U-wrap strengthening method is more efficient than side strips.
