Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) materials are commonly used in civil engineering construction purposes owing their advantages like lightweight, corrosion resistance, high strength, various types available, ease of installation, lower installation costs, shorter construction time and lower maintenance cost [1]. Over the last few decades, flexural Reinforced Concrete (RC) beams reinforcement and maintenance with Near-Surface Mounted (NSM) or Externally Bonded Reinforcement (EBR) Fiber Reinforced Polymer has gained considerable interest and obtained widespread acceptance among civil engineers [2]. This paper reviews previous research on RC beam strengthening by NSM or EBR FRP technique and show the effects of FRP strengthening on flexural strength of RC beam.
