Experimental program was planned and executed to explore the influence of carbon, aramid and glass fibre sheets on the structural behaviour of concrete elements subjected to flexure. Four RC beams were cast and cured in water for 28 days. The steel reinforcement was kept the same for all beams. Two-point load configuration was utilized. The results showed significant influence when comparing fibre-reinforced to un-reinforced beams. The deflections were drastically reduced and load at first crack was also significantly increased in comparison with un-reinforced beam. The ultimate load was not however increased significantly.
