A strengthening technique for reinforced concrete beams using external unbonded reinforcement offers advantages in speed and simplicity of installation over other, established, strengthening techniques. The purpose of this paper is to analysis on a construction case about a structure strengthened by Bow system, namely external prestressing, for flexural strengthening of beams. The paper provides a general construction example description of a structure strengthened using the technique. It is shown that the technique can provide greater construction process enhancement to a general strengthening technique.
