In this review, the change in strength and the ductility behavior of Reinforced concrete beam is discussed when strengthened with basalt reinforcement and Engineered Cementitious Composite (ECC) layer at the bottom of the beam. Although numerous laboratory studies on strengthening of beams by providing ECC layer at the bottom, such as Strain Hardening Cementitious Composite (SHCC) in a steel reinforced concrete beam are conducted and then reported, there is still an apparent need for finding and executing new ways to improve the performance at basalt rebar. As in the case of RC, beams are subjected to uniform and continuous loading which increases with the increase in no. of the storey and may lead to partially damage or even total failure of the beam. In order to overcome the total failure of RC beams a layer of ECC such as SHCC is provided to distribute the cracks uniformly and make the beam even more ductile. This paper also focuses on the effect of providing basalt rebar in place of steel rebar. Both using ECC layer and basalt rebar, different types of the concrete beam increases the bond strength, overall load carrying capacity and first crack load can be concluded.
