iber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) composites are commonly used to strengthen concrete structures due to high strength-to-weight ratio, ease of installation and corrosion resistance. Various types of FRP composites, such as glass fibre-reinforced polymer (GFRP), carbon fibre-reinforced polymer (CFRP), and armid fibre-reinforced polymer (AFRP), are being used as strengthening materials. Jahami et al. [1, 2] studied numerically the effect of using CFRP as a strengthening technique for Reinforced Concrete (RC) beams subjected to blast loading. The authors found that using F
