Abstract

FRP materials provide lightweight, corrosion resistant alternatives for infrastructure and aerospace, enhancing sustainability. CFRP ( carbon fiber reinforced polymer) sheets, featuring carbon fiber and epoxy resin, offer high strength and stiffness, extensively used in reinforcing concrete structures. Widely applied in civil engineering, aerospace, and automotive sectors, CFRP sheets ensure superior performance, particularly in repair and rehabilitation projects. The present study is conducted on how a det e ri orated concrete regains its strength when CFRP sheets wrapped around. C ylinder specimens were used for this experiment. the weight of the specimens has been recorded. The compressive strength s of the specimens were assessed using rebound Hammer (NDT Test) Test). The 12 cylinder specimens were split into two halves of 6 specimens each and one half is tested in the UTM machine for their respective compressive strengths. After that clean ing all the specimens with sand paper and apply the epoxy resin on the specimens . cut the CFRP sheets and apply them on the concrete after curing test the specimens again.
