Study examines carbon fiber reinforcement's impact on concrete elements, indicating enhanced structural performance.

The research aims to evaluate the effectiveness of carbon fiber reinforced polymer in enhancing concrete structures' performance.
Evaluation of carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) in strengthening reinforced concrete elements.
Analysis of structural performance metrics, including flexural and shear capacities.
CFRP significantly enhances flexural capacity and shear capacity of concrete elements.
There is a notable reduction in crack propagation and an increase in load-bearing capacity with CFRP use.
CFRP contributes to a more ductile and safer failure mode for reinforced concrete structures.

OBAID et al. (2026) studied this question.
