Abstract

Increasing the strength of structure and maintaining it in a good condition with in its life time poses challenges for civil engineers. In recent decades, carbon fibers have found wide applications in construction field too to improve the strength. It is commonly used as reinforcement in the structures. Now a day need to repair and rehabilitate has increased a lot in every structure. So to reduce the maintenance and increase the strength of concrete Carbon fiber sheets can be used.., but our project is all about comparative study between the strengths of Ordinary reinforced concrete and Carbon fiber sheeted reinforced concrete where we use carbon fiber sheets stuck over the surface of members of the structure like beams columns etc…, to compare the strength variation between Ordinary and Carbon fiber sheeted reinforced concrete and by how much Carbon fiber sheets have increased the strength. By carrying out several tests the analysis of strength of both ordinary and carbon fiber sheeted reinforced concrete will be tested.
