Effect of NSM Bar Number The effect of the NSM FRP bar number was shown in (Fig. 13), the figure clarify that the increasing of bar number in the strengthened beams from one bar to two bars increase the load carrying capacity of the strengthened beams, the load carrying capacity for beams 2G-0.5-50/90 and 1G-0.5-50/90 were 168.6 and 148.6kN with increasing of 86.2 and 64.1% respectively if compared with CB, using two bars instead of one bar increase the load carrying capacity by 13.5%, this result agree with this reported in [11], (Fig13-c) shows the same observation for the effect of NSM bar length on the strain of NSM FRP bars.
