The shear behavior and ductility property of beams, retrofitted with cement matrix composite and epoxy binder are compared in this study. Ten shear deficient beams were casted out of which eight beams were retrofitted. Four beams were retrofitted with epoxy binder, and remaining four beams with cement matrix composite. Glass fiber and sisal fiber were used for retrofitting. Cement matrix was prepared with silica fume and superplastisizer. The fibers were diffused in the cement matrix. Four point bending test was performed to analyze the ultimate load and deflection at the mid span of each beam. All the beams were cracked at the shear span. Retrofitted beams showed a considerable increase in shear carrying capacity. A maximum 64% and a minimum 25% of increase in ultimate load were observed in retrofitted beams. Cement matrix composite was found to be effective in shear strengthening, if fibers with good tensile strength are provided.
