An experimental study carried out to observe the flexural capacity of reinforced concrete beams strengthened with Near Surface Mounted (NSM) steel bars is presented. The test was carried out on nine concrete beams. All tested beams were subjected to two-point monotonic loads. The ratio of longitudinal reinforcement (1%, 1.4%, and 2.4%) and NSM bars (1D16 and 2D16) were used as test variables. It was found from the test result that NSM steel bars significantly increase the flexural capacity of reinforced concrete beams. However, the strengthened beams failed in brittle mode, as indicated by a sudden drop of beams capacity. An analytical study was also conducted to obtain the flexural response of the specimens through all ranges of elastic and post-peak load. The prediction of the flexural capacity of the beams compares well with the test result.
