Abstract This paper is experimental investigation for failure characteristics and performance of a RC beams strengthened with GFSP which were developed for improvement of the early debonding problems in the externally bonded FRP systems. To represent damages and load conditions of the existing beam, pre-cracks and repeating loads are adopted for experimental parameters. In this experiment, it is confirmed that strengthening with GFSP is a very effective strengthening method for an increase in strength, a decrease in deflection, a control of the crack. But it shown that the design of the beams to be strengthened with GFSP should be consider a brittle behavior of the grass fiber on the flexural capacity.
