This paper presents the review on flexure strength of reinforced concrete (RC) using fiber reinforced polymer (FRP). Now a day Rehabilitation and strengthening of old structures using advanced materials is modern research in the field of civil engineering or Structural Engineering. During past two decades, much research has been performed on flexural strengthening of reinforced concrete beams using different types of fiber reinforced polymers and epoxy resins. The excellent properties of polymer composite materials high strength, low weight, high corrosion resistance, high stiffness, long life and good chemical resistance etc. This paper reviews fifteen articles on strengthening and rehabilitation of reinforced concrete (RC) beams using FRP plates or sheet. This paper reviews the different properties of Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) and Glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) composites and epoxy resin, effect of sizes of beams and loading rate beginning failure. This paper presents review on effect of different parameter such as different configuration, dimension of structure, type of FRP sheet, number of layers of FRP sheet etc. on the manners of RC beam in flexure. The paper suggests an improved retrofitting or strengthening technique for flexural members.
