An innovative glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) closed-type winding (GFRP-CW) tie was developed to eliminate the bond slip failure and make full use of the tensile strength of ties compared with conventional pultruded fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) rod ties. Although better confinement effect of GFRP-CW ties, however after spalling of concrete cover, the compressive longitudinal FRP bars in the plastic hinge regions of columns are most likely to crush or buckle. External FRP jackets can effectively restraint damage to concrete cover. Against this background, a novel FRP-reinforced concrete column confined with external FRP jackets and the internal GFRP-CW ties were proposed to prevent the FRP bars from premature buckling or crushing. In this article, twelve square new columns were constructed and tested to characterize the axial compressive behavior. The test parameters included FRP wrapping type (GFRP or carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP)), FRP wrapping layers, and spacing of ties. Test results confirmed that FRP-reinforced concrete columns with external FRP jackets had significantly larger ductile behavior and exhibited higher load-carrying capacity than their counterparts FRP-reinforced concrete columns due to the contribution of longitudinal GFRP bars and the concrete cover. The test results also suggested reasonable spacing of ties and layers of GFRP jackets for an expected moderate confinement behavior.

SADDAM HUSEIN. Analisa Pola Kegagalan Balok Beton Menggunakan GFRP Bar Tanpa Selimut Beton (dibimbing oleh Rudi Djamaluddin dan Rita Irmawaty) Struktur beton bertulang yang menggunakan tulangan baja pada daerah korosif, menjadi rawan terhadap kerusakan atau penurunan kekuatannya akibat korosi.Korosi pada tulangan baja merupakan salah satu faktor penyebab menurunnya kekuatan struktur beton bertulang. Salah satu material yang dikembangkan mengatasi korosi adalah penggunaan material tulangan GFRP (Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer). Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisa kapasitas lentur dan pola kegagalan balok beton tanpa selimut dengan menggunakan material tulangan GFRP bar.   Desain penelitian merupakan eksperimental laboratorium dengan rekapitulasi sebanyak 6 sampel yang terdiri dari 2 Balok beton menggunakan tulangan baja dengan selimut beton, 2 balok beton menggunakan tulangan GFRP bar dengan selimut beton, 2 balok beton menggunakan GFRP bar tanpa selimut beton. Metode pengujian dilakukan dengan dengan pengujian lentur statik monotonik dan Analisis data menggunakan uji kondisi retak awal dan kondisi ultimit.   Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa kapasitas lentur pada balok dengan tulangan GFRP bar lebih besar dibandingkan dengan balok tulangan baja dan mampu meningkatkan kapasitas lentur balok dalam menahan beban sebesar 39.76 %, pola kegagalan beton yang terjadi pada balok tulangan baja mengalami kegagalan lentur tekan ditandai dengan retakan yang terjadi pada sisi tertekan dan membentuk retakan tegak dengan sumbu netral beton yang tertekan, sedangkan pada balok beton tulangan GFRP tanpa selimut mengalami kegagalan keruntuhan tekan geser dengan kondisi tulangan berdeformasi (bi-linear) dengan retak miring dan secara tiba-tiba menjalar menuju sumbu netral beton yang tertekan sehingga terjadilah keruntuhan secara tiba-tiba.     SADDAM HUSEIN.Failure mode analysis of concrete Beams Using GFRP rebar Without concrete cover (supervised by Rudi Djamaluddin and Rita Irmawaty)   Reinforced concrete that uses rebar steel in corrosive areas, are prone to damage or decreased strength due to corrosion. Corrosion in the steel reinforcement is one of the factors that decreasing strength of reinforced concrete. One of the materials developed to overcome corrosion is the use of GFRP (Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer) reinforcement material. This study aims to analyze the flexural capacity and failure mode of concrete beams without concrete cover using material GFRP bar as reinforcement.   The research design was an experimental laboratory with a recapitulation of 6 samples consisting of 2 beams using steel reinforcement with concrete cover.2 concrete beams using reinforcement GFRP bar with concrete cover, 2 beams using GFRP bars without concrete cover. The  research method uses the monotonic static flexure and analyzing the data using the initial crack condition and ultimate conditions test.   The results of the research indicate the flexural capacity of the beams with GFRP bar reinforcement is higher than steel reinforcement beams and can increase 39.76% of the flexural capacity of the beams in holding loads , the failure mode analysis occurs in steel reinforcing beam experiences compressive failure. Failure was characterized  by cracks that occur on the depressing side and form an upright crack with the neutral axis of the compressed concrete, whereas in GFRP reinforced concrete beams without concrete cover, failure of shear compression with conditions of deformed reinforcement (bi-linear) with sloping cracks and suddenly spread towards the neutral axis of the compressed concrete so that there was a sudden collapse.

The difference between the transverse coefficients of thermal expansion of fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) bars and concrete generates radial pressure at the FRP bar – concrete interface, which induces tensile stresses within the concrete under temperature increase and, eventually, failure of the concrete cover if the confining action of concrete is insufficient. This paper presents the results of an experimental study to investigate the thermal effect on the behaviour of FRP bars and concrete cover, using concrete slab specimens reinforced with glass FRP bars and subjected to thermal loading from –30 to +80 °C. The experimental results show that failure of concrete cover was produced at temperatures varying between +50 and +60 °C for slabs having a ratio of concrete cover thickness to FRP bar diameter (c/db) less than or equal to 1.4. A ratio of c/db greater than or equal to 1.6 seems to be sufficient to avoid splitting failure of concrete cover for concrete slabs subjected to high temperatures up to +80 °C. Also, the first cracks appear in concrete at the FRP bar – concrete interface at temperatures around +40 °C. Comparison between experimental and analytical results in terms of thermal loads and thermal strains is presented.

This paper presents an investigation into the flexural behaviour of reinforced concrete beam with opening reinforced with two different materials i.e., steel and Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP). Comparison study between the two different materials were carried out and presented in this study through non-linear Finite Element Method (FEM) using the commercial ABAQUS 6.10 software package. The performance of the opening beam reinforced with GFRP is influenced by several key parameters. Simulation analyses were carried out to determine the behavior of beam with opening subjected to monotonic loading. The main parameters considered in this study are size of opening and reinforcement diameter. The results show that GFRP give 23%-29% more ductility than steel reinforcement. The result also shows when the size of opening change from 200mm to 150mm or from 150mm to 100mm the ultimate load capacity increase by 15%. In general, good agreement between the Finite Element (FE) simulation and the available experimental result has been obtained.
