Today, the idea of externally strengthening reinforced concrete structural elements in order to restore their strength is widely accepted. Depending on the extent of the damage, the component is externally modified utilising techniques such casting, fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites, external panel bonding, external prestressing, and cross-sectional enlargement. This article explains how he applies his FRP composites in the form of cloth or tape on structural members that have flaws like cracks by employing adhesive. This method can be used to strengthen or raise the load-bearing capacity of an element in addition to retrofitting without enlarging the section. For external reinforcement, fabrics consisting of carbon, glass, and basalt fibres are employed.
