  • Abstract:
  • Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) is widely employed to strengthen reinforced concrete (RC) beams due to its high strength-to-weight ratio, corrosion resistance, and ease of application. The use of CFRP on **high-strength concrete (HSC)** beams, however, involves unique challenges arising from HSC’s high stiffness and brittle failure behaviour. This review synthesizes experimental, analytical, and numerical studies on CFRP-strengthened HSC beams. Key areas covered include flexural and shear strengthening, bond behaviour, failure mechanisms, analytical/numerical modeling, design practices, and durability. The review also highlights research gaps and proposes future directions to improve design and application of CFRP in HSC beam strengthening.
