This paper presents the nonlinear Finite Element Analysis that has been carried out to simulate the behavior offailure modes of Reinforced Concrete beams strengthened in flexure by Fibre Reinforced Polymer laminates. Total sixbeams are modelled in Finite Element software ANSYS. Out of these Six, two beams are control beam without FibreReinforced Polymer Strengthening and other beams are Glass Fibre Reinforced Polymer strengthened beams. From theFinite Element modeling crack pattern and load vs deflection relationships until failure are obtained and comparedwith the experimental results. Both the observational parameters showed good agreement with the experimental plotswith the analytical modeling for the beam without or with strengthening options.
