Neither the Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic nor the steel plate strengthening concrete components shows sufficiency in improving the structures' seismic behaviors independently
while they complement each other by the way of composite strengthening. Six reinforced concrete beams
five of which are strengthened
were comparatively and experimentally tested under low frequency cyclic load to investigate their mechanical performances such as characteristic of resilience

degeneration of rigidity and loading capacity. It is indicated that the way of composite strengthening can boost the beams′ ultimate bearing capacity
ductility and deformability capacity effectively
and it can delay rigidity degeneration and improve the seismic behaviors of the beams. Also
the CFRP and steel plate can work together very well.
