<br/><br/> In this experimental study, ten RC beams with 2000 mm in length, 300 mm in height, and 150 mm in width were tested for shear under three-point loading test.Eight specimens had varied concrete strength were strengthened with CFRP strips, while the other two were kept unwrapped for comparison purposes. The parameters considered in this study included concrete strength, reinforcement ratio, and amount and configuration of FRP strips.The RC beams strengthened with inclined CFRP strips showed significant increase in failure load.As the amount of main reinforcements and concrete compression strength increased, the effect of using CFRP in strengthening of RC beams became more efficient.The experimental shear capacities of RC beams showed a good agreement with calculated values according to Egyptian code of practice, ECP 208-05
