The applications of using fly ash-based geopolymer as a structural member and a repair materials in reinforced concrete structure was conducted. The optimum mix proportion of fly ash-based geopolymer concrete using for structural beam and fly ash-based geopolymer mortar using for repair material were developed. The flexural behavior of fly ash-based geopolymer reinforced concrete and the durability aspect namely the corrosion of steel reinforcement were investigated using the electrical acceleration. For the repair purpose, the fundamental properties; that is, compressive strength, flexural strength, bonding strength between fly ash-based geopolymer mortar and mortar substrate, setting time and chloride penetration were investigated. Also, the durability of conventional reinforced concrete beam repaired by the fly ash-based geopolymer mortar comparing with the comercial repair mortar was investigated. The behavior of the fly ash-based geopolymer reinforced concrete beam was similar to that of the conventional reinforced concrete beam; however, the corrosion of the steel reinforcement of the fly ash-based geopolymer reinforced concrete beam was higher than that of the conventional reinforced concrete beam. The fundamental properties of the fly ash-based geopolymer mortar were not different from that of the commercial repair materials; however, the durability of the reinforced concrete beam repaired by the fly ash-based geopolymer mortars performed a little lower than that of repaired with the commercial repair motar and also the control reinforced concrete with no repair. As a result, even there will be still a need of improvement there was a good tendency for using the fly ash-based geopolymer as the structural member and the repair materials.

Bamboo can use at the simple concrete construction because of the tensile strength of its mechanical property. Meanwhile, a slippery surface of the bamboo caused cracks in the bamboo reinforced concrete beam (BRC) not to spread and yield slip failure between a bamboo bar and concrete. Load test at the BRC beam yield humble load capacity. This study aims to improve the capacity and behavior of BRC beam bending by giving waterproof coating, sand, and hose clamp installation. The beam test specimen with the size of 75x150x1100mm made as many as 26 pieces with the variety of reinforcement. The hose clamp used on the bamboo reinforcement varies with a distance of 0 cm, 15 cm, 20 cm, and 25 cm. The testing using a simple beam with two-point loading. The test results show that BRC beams have different bending behavior compared to the steel reinforced concrete beam (SRC).

This paper presents flexural analysis of a GFRP bar reinforced concrete beam by using Finite Element Modeling (FEM) approach. The FEM model is developed using solid element for concrete and bar element for GFRP reinforcement. Results from FEM show good agreement with the reported experimental result under service loading, in terms of load vs. mid-span deflection. The first cracking load from FEM matches analytical solution fairly well, while ultimate flexural capacity of RC beam from FEM shows 8.3% higher than that calculated with ACI 440 Equation.

The flexural behavior of FRP (Fiber Reinforced Polymer) reinforced concrete beam has been the topic of intensive previous research, because of the spread of use of modern FRP composite materials in the building industry as concrete reinforcement. The behavior of FRP reinforced member is different from the one reinforced with regular steel reinforcement, mainly because of vast difference between moduli of elasticity of FRP composite reinforcement bars and steel. This difference results in the fact that conventional design methods used for years in the field of reinforced concrete structures using steel reinforcement give poor results if attempted use with FRP reinforced structural members. Results of conventional methods are so poor that use of such methods would be dangerous they tend to overestimate load carrying capacity and underestimate deformations both resulting in unsafe predictions. This paper points to formulating easy to use and comprehensible method of predicting moment capacity of FRP reinforced concrete beams subjected to bending loading and validation of the proposed method via set of experiments.


The flexural behavior of concrete beams reinforced with bamboo was studied experimentally. Bamboo was used as the main reinforcement with different bonding materials in place of steel. A nominal mix of M20 grade concrete was adopted for the beam design. The Bamboo surface was treated with common binding materials like Araldite and Bitumen. Araldite and Bitumen are good binding materials used to connect materials like steel, carbon and many different materials. Two specimens were casted with bitumen coating, two specimens were coated with araldite, two specimens were casted without any binder coating and a specimen was casted using normal steel reinforcement. Beams were casted with bamboo reinforcement and cured for 28 days. Deflection and flexural behavior of the beams were monitored. The test results imply that araldite coating in concrete beams with bamboo reinforcement increased the flexural strength to that of bamboo reinforced concrete using bitumen which is lesser strength to that of steel reinforced concrete beam.

Studies examined experimentally the flexural behavior of concrete beams reinforced with the hybrid FRP-steel rebar but very few among them evaluated their fatigue performance. In this study, the fatigue test has been performed, and an analytical model for simulating the flexural fatigue behavior of the concrete beam reinforced with the hybrid bar considering its postyielding behavior is developed. A formula relating the postyielding fatigue strain of the rebar to the number of the fatigue cycle is suggested and used in the proposed procedure. The method simulating the low-cycle behavior of the reinforced concrete beam is found to be satisfactory and can predict the number of cyclic loading to failure.

Based on the assumption of plane section and linear elastic model, CFRP (carbon fibre-reinforced plastics) strengthening reinforced concrete beam stiffness and deflection have been analyzed in this paper. It is has been solved the problem of such beam’s deflection and stiffness problem in the serviceability limit state, that is can’t be properly calculated with present method, although bearing capacity for the ultimate limit state to this kind of beam is main design aspect. This paper’s calculation formula can guide the relevant components of the design and has been verified by the four root concrete beam’s test results.
