This paper focuses on a computer solution that proposes the non-linear behaviour analysis of reinforced concrete beams strengthened by means of external bonded FRP. This analysis considers actual material behaviour laws. It takes into account the sliding effect at the composite-to-concrete interface and the durability of the strengthened structure via the study of the materials fatigue and the interface visco-elastic properties. After research development, this software is currently used in Lyon 1 University by student at a Master level. In the case of FRP strengthening course deliver in the university, students are asked to practice FRP virtually thanks to modelling to better understanding the effect of those materials of RC beams strengthening. Parametrical studies are carried out in order to understand the influence of FRP properties on the beams me-chanical behaviour.
