The inefficiency of unreinforced concrete beams as flexural members poses a challenge because concrete’s tensile strength is significantly lower than its compressive strength. In response to this challenge, reinforcement bars are commonly employed near the tension zone of reinforced concrete (RC) beams. Nonetheless, structures constructed with RC face challenges such as reduced live load capacity, concrete deterioration, and the corrosion of reinforcement bars over time. To address this, ongoing research is exploring maintenance and retrofitting techniques using high-strength, lightweight fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composite materials such as carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) and glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP). In this study, the flexural performance of corroded RC beams was enhanced through retrofitting with CFRP plates and sheets. The corroded RC beams were fabricated using an applied-current method with a 5% NaCl solution to induce a 10% target corrosion level under controlled laboratory conditions. Flexural tests were conducted to evaluate the structural performance, failure modes, load–displacement relationships, and energy dissipation capacities. The results showed that CFRP reinforcement mitigates the adverse effects of corrosion-induced reduction in rebar cross-sectional areas, leading to increased stiffness and improved load-carrying capacity. In particular, CFRP reinforcement increased the yield load by up to 36.5% and the peak load by up to 90% in corroded specimens. The accumulated energy dissipation capacity also increased by 92%. These enhancements are attributed to the effective load-sharing behavior between the corroded rebar and the CFRP reinforcement.
