Experimental Investigations on Circular Concrete Columns Reinforced with GFRP Bars and Helices under Different Loading Conditions

Workshop Presentation Infrastructure Applications of Frp Composites Behaviour of High Strength Concrete Columns Reinforced with Gfrp Bars and Helices under Different Loading Conditions

The use of Glass Fibre Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) bars is considered an alternative option in reinforcing concrete structures instead of conventional steel bars especially in harsh severe environments, due to their mechanical properties and physical characteristics. GFRP bars offer many advantages over steel counterparts such as corrosion resistance, high tensile strength, low weight and electro...

Numerical and Experimental Investigations on the Behavior of Steel-reinforced Concrete Columns Subjected to Eccentric Loading

Steel-reinforced concrete (SRC) columns, which are classified as composite columns, became the most widely used in recent years; because of their extensive advantages over the reinforced concrete and the steel columns. In this paper, the ductility index and its influential factors were explored to investigate the behavior of SRC columns. A straightforward approach was then proposed by establish...

Heat Transfer Analysis of Reinforced Concrete Beams Reinforced with GFRP Bars

FRP Composites Strengthening of Concrete Columns under Various Loading Conditions

This paper provides a review of some of the progress in the area of fiber reinforced polymers (FRP)-strengthening of columns for several loading scenarios including impact load. The addition of FRP materials to upgrade deficiencies or to strengthen structural components can save lives by preventing collapse, reduce the damage to infrastructure, and the need for their costly replacement. The ret...
