        abstract = {This analytical study investigates the flexural behavior of reinforced concrete beams strengthened with externally bonded Carbon Fiber-Reinforced Polymer CFRP laminates. The analysis employs finite element modeling using Abaqus to examine stress-strain relationships, load-bearing capacity, and failure modes of CFRP-strengthened beams versus conventional beams. The study highlights the effectiveness of CFRP reinforcement in improving flexural strength, predicting failure mechanisms, and optimizing design parameters for improved ductility and structural performance.},
