The New Surface Mounted (NSM) technique was applied to increase the shear resistance of Reinforced Concrete (RC) beams. For this purpose, laminates of Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) were introduced into thin slits made on the concrete cover of the lateral faces of the beams to be strengthened. In the present paper the influence of concrete strength on the effectiveness of the NSM technique is assessed by an experimental program. From the obtained results it can be concluded that the NSM shear strengthening technique with CFRP laminates is still effective in RC beams with low concrete strength. However, as minimum is the concrete strength as less effective is the NSM technique.
