This brings improvement in load bearing capacity, improved ductility and reduce damages due to deterioration. The researchers are seeking new and innovative ways of strengthening of beams as conventional methods of reinforcement encountered certain limitations which are required to overcome. The technique of wrapping a Reinforced Concrete (RC) beam with composite material becomes popular and have been widely adopted in the structural applications due to their superior properties. In the present study an attempt has been made to compare the performance of Polymers such as Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP), Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) and Metal Matrix Composites (MMC). Finite Element Analysis (FEA) is conducted using ANSYS 18.1 Workbench to investigate the elastic behavior of modelled beam wrapped with different configurations of composite materials (GFRP/CFRP and MMC).The performance of the above wrapped RC beams are then compared with the controlled specimen and results of load deflection curves along energy absorption characteristics are presented in the paper. The main aim is to investigate the MMC as a reinforcing material.

Till a date so many strengthening techniques have been introduced such as improving the cementitious properties by adding the various types of composites, steel fibers or by wrapping the damaged element with steel plates or Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) plates act as a reinforcing the structural element. This paper throws the review of strengthening of RC beams wrapped with various types of Polymer Matrix Composites (PMC) such as Glass and Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymers (GFRP/CFRP) also the assessment on structural properties of newly developed material Metal Matrix Composites (MMC) are critically reviewed.

Due to deterioration and damage of the structures all over the world, strengthening is needed to ... more Due to deterioration and damage of the structures all over the world, strengthening is needed to sustain the structures and to increase the life living capacity and some of them are designed to have a serviceability about 60 to 80 years of life which demands repair and maintenance services. Composites play a vital role in strengthening of old and damaged structures. To enhance the ductility, load carrying capacity, flexural strength existing structural members such as beams, columns, slabs etc. are strengthened with different types of composite material. This paper presents the assessment on use of Polymer Matrix Composites (PMC) over strengthening of structural members also the applications and engineering properties of Metal Matrix Composites (MMC) are critically reviewed.

Large number of strengthening techniques have been carried out in the previous years but the most popular is external bonding of hybrid composite material laminates. Now-a-days RC beams are wrapping with Polymers such as Glass Fibres and Carbon Fibres are more popularly used .This paper presents a brief overview of physical and mechanical properties of Metal Matrix Composites. The engineering properties such as tensile strength, stiffness, modulus of elasticity etc. of MMC (Metal Matrix Composites) have been compared with the PMC (Polymer Matrix Composites). Comparative evaluation of composites shows that MMC also gain attention in the world of composites and possess better engineering properties for strengthening of the structural members. Hence MMC becomes new trends in composite material.
