Ageing concrete infrastructures are known to be facing deterioration, especially regarding the corrosion of their reinforcing steel. As a solution, glass fibre-reinforced plastic (GFRP) bars now considered reinforcement alternative conventional steel, and design codes exist for designing GFRP-RC structures. However, there is need improve on addressing limited yield in GFRPs. Consequently, it su...

The overall objective of this research project was to conduct an extensive study of the behavior and use of glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) and carbon FRP (CFRP) materials for bridge construction. In particular, GFRP honeycomb sandwich panels were used as bridge panels and steel-supported bridge deck panels and CFRP and GFRP bars were used as internal reinforcement for precast concrete br...

Several past studies have shown the use of glass fibre-reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars to alleviate reinforced steel rusting issue in different concrete structures. However, practise GFRP columns has not yet achieved a sufficient confidence level due lack theoretical model found literature. The objective current study is introduce novel prediction for axial capability made with GFRP. For this pu...

Environmental awareness and the need for sustainable construction inspired researchers practitioners to explore innovative alternatives that might reduce greenhouse gas emissions energy use related excessive structural work. One such alternative is utilization of Fiber-Reinforced Polymer (FRP) bars as a reinforcement in reinforced concrete members. FRP possess favorable characteristics like hig...

This study discusses the behavior of ambient-cured circular geopolymer concrete specimens tested under different loading conditions. Twelve were cast and to investigate influence type reinforcement, that is, steel glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP), pitch transverse conditions (concentric axial load, 15 35 mm eccentric four-point bending). The load carrying capacity, confinement efficiency, ...

Many researchers have shown that it is engineering feasible to use fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) bars instead of steel as the tension-affected main in reinforced concrete structures. However, slabs strengthened with FRP are limited field civil engineering. For example, elastic modulus low, and ductility member reduced due brittleness bars. To solve these problems much possible, scholars adopte...
