Experimental and numerical investigation of flexural behaviour of new DSG reinforced concrete mixes reinforced with GFRP bars

Numerical Study on the Flexural Behaviour of Concrete Beams Reinforced by GFRP Bars

Enhancement of the response of reinforced concrete (RC) beams using fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) reinforcement bars has become a popular structural technique over the past two decades due to the well-known advantages of FRP composites including their high strength-to-weight ratio and excellent corrosion resistance. Thisstudy presents n...

Flexural Behavior of Lightweight Concrete Beams Reinforced with GFRP Bars and Effects of the Added Micro and Macro Fiber

This study evaluated the effect of macro steel fiber (SF), micro glass fiber (GF) and micro polypropylene fiber (PF) in lightweight aggregate concrete, (LWAC) beams reinforced with glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars. Firstly, concrete mixtures with different volume fractions of GF, PF and SF were tested up to compressive strength, then determine the optimum fiber content GF, PF and SF a...

Flexural Cracks in Fiber-Reinforced Concrete Beams with Fiber-Reinforced Polymer Reinforcing Bars

Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) reinforcing bars have aTtracted considerable 0llellli0l1 for applications where corrosion of steel reinforcement is problemaric. Due 10 rhe generally low elastic modulus and poor bond clwracreristics of FRP as coil/pared 10 steel reinforcing bars, the use of FRP results in IGI:i?er crack widlhs under senJice loads. Fiber-reinforced concrete (FRe) is proposed for u...

Experimental data of deformation and cracking behaviour of concrete ties reinforced with multiple bars

The data presented in this article are related to the research article entitled "Experimental Investigation of cracking and deformations of concrete ties reinforced with multiple bars" (Rimkus and Gribniak, 2017) [1]. The article provides data on deformation and cracking behaviour of 22 concrete ties reinforced with multiple bars. The number and diameter of the steel bars vary from 4 to 16 and ...
