Paper presents experimental investigation made on two concrete beams reinforced with internal Carbon Fibre Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) lamellas (i.e. strips, bands). The reinforcement geometrical arrangement was similar as in normal concrete beams reinforced with steel bars and stirrups. The beams were destroyed by the shear forces, as intended. Obtained load-carrying capacities were lower as expected: below 40% of a calculated value. The reason of the untimely fracture was insufficient strength of connections between the vertical and longitudinal lamellas.
