Reinforced concrete beams can be effectively strengthened in shear using externally bonded carbon fiber reinforced polymer. Effect of corner radius on FRP wrapped RC columns has been done, but the same effect consideration has not been included for beam strengthening. In this work, study has been conducted to know the effect of CFRP sheets on the strengthening of the RC beams having different corner radii. There are total fifteen RC beams to be casted for this study with different configuration of CFRP strips. Three specimen will be Control section. There are six among fifteen beams which have 5 mm corner radius, while other six beams have 25 mm corner radius. The testing of these beams will be carried out under 2 point loading system. The results shows that there is an improvement in strength of beams having 25 mm corner radii than the beams having 5 mm corner radii.
