Carbon Fibre Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) and Glass Fibre Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) belong to a relatively recent category of composite materials. These materials are produced using a blend of fibres and resins. These composite materials have demonstrated their effectiveness and cost-efficiency in the construction of new structures and the restoration of failing structures in civil engineering. One of the primary justifications for utilising CFRP and GFRP composite materials is their exceptional mechanical qualities. The mechanical qualities of this material encompass impact resistance, strength, stiffness, flexibility, and its heightened capacity to bear loads. The construction industry is developing new and innovative technologies and materials to meet the demands of sophisticated infrastructure requirements. Furthermore, any novel technology or substance possesses inherent constraints. However, in order to fulfil emerging demands, it becomes imperative to develop and implement fresh technologies and materials. Due to the ageing of structures and the progressive corrosion of reinforcement bars, it is necessary to retrofit ancient buildings with supplementary materials in order to enhance their longevity and resilience. FRP confinement has multiple applications in reinforcing and retrofitting concrete buildings. Fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) is a highly successful method for retrofitting and reinforcing structures. This study involves the application of carbon and glass fibre-reinforced polymers to concrete specimens in order to investigate the impact of confinement on the strength of the specimens
