This paper provides the analytical and experimental work of reinforced concrete beams strengthened with FRP. The main objective of this investigation is to study the flexural behaviour of reinforced concrete beams of different methods of strengthening methods using GFRP to find the flexural strength, failure modes, and ductility of the reinforced concrete beam. All beams were strengthened for flexure with external bonding to prevent flexural failure. The analytical and experimental results indicated that the externally bonded GFRP used for flexural strengthening of reinforced concrete beams increased the cracking load, increased the ultimate load-carrying capacity, and exhibited decreased ductility corresponding to the unstrengthen control specimen. The analytical work was carried out using ANSYS 17.0 Software and found the parameters of total deformation, stress strain curves, and Load deflection graph plotted.
