The recent developments in the application of the advanced composites in the construction industry for concrete rehabilitation and strengthening are increasing on the basis of specific requirements. A numerical analysis has been carried out to investigate the performance of reinforced concrete beam structure with natural fiber (sisal fiber).The main aim of this investigation is find out the behavior of the sisal fibre in reinforced concrete beam structure against the different loading conditions with different percentage of sisal fibre. Using finite element analysis, an attempt has been made to study the behavior of sisal covered RCC beam incorporated in this work. The beam is subjected to a load at the center of span. Observations are made for reduction in deflection of Reinforced Concrete beam strengthened Fiber Reinforced Sisal fiber. The finite elements software ANSYS is used for simulating RCC beam with addition of sisal fiber. Three different loads were considered for the analysis. Two different composite beams with 4% and 8% of sisal fiber of total volume were compared with the plane concrete beam. The total deformation of the beam reduced with addition of the sisal fiber. The maximum principle stress has also been reduced with addition of the sisal fiber with around 30.46%.
