The current work presents an experimental study on rehabilitation of RC beam by stitching method. For the study, a total of Twenty-Four RC beams were casted and cured for 28 days. Among the beams casted, three is control beam. Under two point loading, the control beam was tested for ultimate failure load and remaining twenty one beams were loaded for 75% of the ultimate failure load. The damaged beams were then rehabilitated by Stitching method using two different patterns. The rehabilitated beams were tested for ultimate failure load and the results are compared with control beam and the effectiveness of the rehabilitation is determined. From the result it is observed that as the diameter is gone increasing the flexural strength of the beam is gone increasing. As the depth of insertion of the bar inside the beam is gone increasing the flexural strength of the beam is gone increasing. It is concluded from this study that stitching methods is effective to restore the flexure capacity of damaged beams. Keywords: Rehabilitation, Reinforced Concrete Beam, Stitching Method
