Glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) reinforcements are taken as an alternative solution for the deterioration of civil infrastructures. GFRP bars have received increasing attention due to low cost compared to carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) bars. In this paper, Tweleve beams are casted in which six beams are casted with steel as main and shear reinforcement and another six beams are casted with GFRP as main reinforcement with steel as shear reinforcing material. All beams casted are of same dimensions. The size of the beams casted is of length 700 mm, breadth 150 mm and depth 150 mm. The clear cover of 25 mm is provided on top and bottom of the beam. Beams are tested under two-point loading with constant aspect ratio (a/d) and comparing the flexural strength, load deflection curves and types of failures of beams reinforced with GFRP as main reinforcement and beams reinforced with conventional steel. The final experimental results are compared with numerical results.
