Abstract
The utilization of composite materials, for example, Fiber Reinforced Polymers (FRP) in fortifying and fixing of structural components, especially those made of reinforced concrete, is generally spreading. However, for successful and practical applications, engineers must improve their insight concerning the real conduct of reinforced structures. FRP materials offers the designer an exceptional blend of physical and mechanical properties, for example, high rigidity, lightweight, improved stiffness, high fatigue strength, durability and incredible solidness. Since these frameworks are non-destructive, non-magnetic, and chemical resistant, they are an amazing alternative for outer support. The properties of FRP composites have brought about huge sparing in construction cost and decrease in shut down time of facilities when contrasted with the regular reinforcing techniques. In this study, an attempt is made to get a more clear knowledge onto which among the Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer(GFRP) and Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) is better by leading an analytical investigation on both FRPs when wrapped over Reinforced Concrete (RC) beam using ANSYS software.

1. Introduction
There is a huge need for repair and strengthening of deteriorated, damaged structures. There can be numerous explanations behind the decay of structures, it may very well be because of ecological impacts, deficient plan and development or requirement for structural upgradation in order to meet new seismic plan necessities due to new plan guidelines, disintegration because of erosion in steel brought about by introduction to a forceful climate and mishap functions, for example, tremors, excessive deflection, poor concrete quality, and so on or once in a while even to understand execution mistakes caused at the hour of development. For these reasons, different reinforcing methods have been created to fulfill these fortifying prerequisites. The act of fiber reinforced polymers (FRPs) for the restoration of existing solid structures has become quickly throughout the most recent couple of years. Studies has demonstrated that FRP can be utilized proficiently in reinforcing the concrete beam frail in shear. Since the FRP materials are non-destructive, non-magnetic, and chemical resistant, they are progressively being utilized for outer support of existing concrete structures. From the past studies directed, it has been demonstrated that remotely fortified fiber reinforced polymers (FRP) can be utilized to improve the shear limit of RC beams. Because of the adaptable or flexible nature and ease of handling, combined with high tensile strength and stiffness, the adaptable Fiber strips are discovered to be profoundly powerful for fortifying of RC beam
