Environmental degradation, increased service loads, reduced capacity due to aging, degradation owing to poor construction materials and workmanships and conditional need for seismic retrofitting have demanded the necessity for repair and rehabilitation of existing structures. Fiber reinforced polymers has been used successfully in many such applications for reasons like low weight, high strength and durability. The objective of present study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the use of epoxy-bonded FRP fabrics as external transverse reinforced to reinforced concrete beams subjected to torsion. Torsional results from strengthened beams are compared with the experimental result of the control beams without FRP application. The study tends to shows remarkable improvement in torsional behavior of all the FRP strengthen beams.
