<p>This paper deals with reinforced concrete beams strengthened by CFRP in flexure. The debonding between CFRP and the surface of the beam is the main problem. Many researchers around the world have made extensive efforts to study the phenomenon of debonding for efficient applications. Based on these efforts and different related field applications, code previsions and various models have been proposed for predicting debonding failure. Two code previsions and three typical models are presented in the current study. ACI-440.2R 17, CNR-DT 200 R1/2013, Said and Wu, Lu et al., and Teng et al. have been used to estimate the flexural strength of RC beams strengthened by CFRP with and without grooves. Test results of eleven flexural beams strengthened by CFRP sheet/laminate using externally bonded reinforcement (EBR) and externally bonded reinforcement on grooves (EBROG) methods were used in the current paper. The performance and accuracy of each model were evaluated based on these test results. Most of the prediction models that used in this study give a closer prediction of the flexural strength of beams strengthened by EBR compared to that of the beams strengthened by EBROG. Finally, the prediction results of CNR-DT 200 R1/2013 were the most accurate and approval with test results compared with other models in the current study</p>
