They are tested for Compression test, Flexural test and Split tensile Test. The comparison between Laminated and un-laminated Structural Models was made in order to know how much strength gain after testing of these structural models, so by which the rehabilitation of any structure can be done without demolishing it with less weight to strength ratio.

INTRODUCTION The three basic needs of man are Food, Cloth and Shelter Civil engineer has relevance with all basic needs of man directly or indirectly. Man has progressed lot in developing the methods of constructing shelters. Initially man use to stay in huts and as the time passed it developed into house that is load bearing. And nowadays RCC frame structure has dominant share in construction practices. So all this structures were renovated or constructed by using many advanced techniques and materials. And from many advanced materials carbon fibre is also a very good material for construction. Carbon fibre, alternatively graphite fibre, carbon graphite or CF is a material consisting of fibres about 5–10 μm in diameter and composed mostly
