This research was conducted to identify the flexural strength of timber beam strengthened by near surface mounted Carbon Fibre Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) plates and rods. Six timber beams of Red Meranti species were tested which all have the same dimension which was 80 x 160 x 2700 mm. Three of the timber beams was used as the control while three other were strengthened first before being tested to failure under four-point loading. The flexural strength of the timber beam was studied through their ultimate load, deflection, stress and strain of the timber beam when subjected to four-point loading test by using Magnus frame test machine. The samples were prepared carefully so that it will have same properties with the other to reduce the difference between the timber beams properties because timber is well known for its wide range of variability from each other. The test was conducted at the heavy structure laboratory in University Malaysia Pahang (UMP). Based on the results obtained from this study, the ultimate load carrying capacity of the strengthened timber beam increased as expected. Observations made during the testing of the timber beams shows that the strengthening materials increased the strengthened timber beams and hold the timber beam together before the timber beam failed. The strengthening materials did not fail for all samples and the bonding of Sikadur-30 also still intact. The flexural test also shown that the timber beams’ deflection increase significantly, thus will make the strengthened timber beam to be repaired and not failed abruptly. The mode of failure that can be observed from the strengthened timber beams are not varies unlike the un-strengthened timber beam.
