This paper presents the results of a non linear finite element analysis conducted on steel fibre reinforced concrete beams strengthened with glass fibre reinforced polymer (GFRP) laminates. Four beams were cast and tested for the present study. One beam was kept as control beam and the other one was provided with steel fibres of 1% volume fraction. The remaining two fibre reinforced concrete beams were restricted with UDCGFRP laminates of 3mm and 5mm thickness. All the beams were tested under four-point bending till failure. ABAQUS finite element software was used for modeling purpose. The results obtained through non liner FEM analysis show good agreement with the experimental test results.
