摘要：Concrete is one of the most resourceful and environmental friendly building material but since the brittlenature of concrete was found to be performing unsatisfactorily. This could manifest itself by poor performance underservice loading, in the form of excessive deflections and cracking, this paper researches on special hybrid fibercombination of steel and polypropylene fiber in beams wrapped with Fiber Reinforced Polymer sheets.The flexuralstrength is one of the basic and important mechanical properties of concrete. Concrete is not usually expected to resistthe direct tension because of its low flexure strength and brittle nature. The advantage of using FRP include lightweight, ease of installation, minimal labor costs and site constraints, high strength to weight and durability.This paperpresents the results of an experimental investigation carried out to evaluate the flexural strength and behavior of hybridfiber reinforced concrete beam strengthened by glass FRP Laminate with the control beams. In general, it is concludedthat Hybrid fiber reinforced concrete beam strengthened by Glass FRP laminate exhibited better performance than theconventional RC beam in all aspects.
