An ecofriendly fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) had been used in the last decade to enhance the short concrete beam’s strength and deformation capacity. This study involves the wrapping of GFRP sheets on a short beam, and then the compressive strength is determined. The rectangular beams of size 150 mm x 150 mm x 700 mm are used for this study, and cast under the grades of M25 are wrapped with GFRP sheets at the thickness 5 mm. These results are clarified at a specific thickness of the FRP-wrapped beams. It provides a maximum axial compressive strength, and Young’s modulus gets enhanced rigorously when it is to be compared to the normal concrete. This thesis deals with experimental studies of different parameters associated with wrapped glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP). In M25 grade, when the 5 mm wrapped specimen and 0m wrapped specimen are compared, the specimen wrapped with 5 mm increases 35% more than the specimen wrapped with 0 mm. The 5 mm wrapping attains the maximum strength.
