Project Title: Long-Term Performance of GFRP Reinforcement URL: http://tti.tamu.edu/documents/0-6069-1.pdf 16. Abstract Significant research has been performed on glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) concrete reinforcement. This research has shown that GF...

Reinforced concrete structures consists of two main components and the behavior of these structures influenced by gender and material properties, in order to investigate the behavior of concrete reinforced beam that most important flexural element in reinforced concrete structures, we chosen High Strength Concrete (HSC) for concrete and GFRP and steel bars for reinforcement. For compare the new...

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...

This paper investigates experimentally and analytically the torsion behavior of steel fibered high strength self compacting concrete beams reinforced by GFRP bars. Steel fibered high strength self compacting concrete (SFHSSCC) and GFRP bars became in the recent decades a very important materials in the structural engineering field. The use of GFRP bars to replace steel bars has emerged as one o...

This study investigates the impact of accelerated aging conditions on the long-term flexural behavior and ductility of reinforced concrete (RC) members with glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars (RC-GFRP specimen) and steel bars (RC-steel specimen). A total of thirty six specimens were designed with different amounts of reinforcement with three types of reinforcing bars (i.e., helically wr...

Experimental investigation of GFRP (glass fiber reinforced polymer) tubes that were filled with magnetically driven concrete was carried out to study the flexural behavior of specimens under bending. Specimens having different cross section and lengths were tested. The test specimens were fabricated by filling magnetically driven concrete into the GFRP tubes and the concrete was vibrated using ...

Glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) concrete reinforcement exhibits high strength, is lightweight, can decrease time of construction, and is corrosion resistant. However, research has shown that chemical reactions deteriorate the GFRP reinforcing bars over time, resulting in a reduced tensile capacity. This paper develops a time-variant probabilistic model to predict the tensile capacity of G...

The use of fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) bars in reinforced concrete members enhances corrosion resistance when compared to traditional steel reinforcing bars. Although there is ample research available on the behavior of FRP bars and concrete members reinforced with FRP bars under elevated temperatures (due to fire), there is little published information available on their post-fire residual ...

This paper deals with an experimental study on the tensile performance of recently developed “FRP Hybrid Bars” by authors. The objective of this study is to investigate tensile strength of FRP Hybrid Bars and to overcome the shortcomings of the FRP material with its low elastic modulus. This uses the concept of material hybridization to increase elastic modulus to be used in concrete structures...

The application of Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) bars is suitable for concrete structures that are susceptible to corrosion, owing their corrosion-resistant characteristics. Therefore, it feasible reduce the cover on reinforced beams by utilizing GFRP bars. However, this can bonding strength between and concrete. study aims investigate behavior as a preliminary test structural applicati...
