The article presents experimental tests of a new type of composite bar that has been used as shear reinforcement for concrete beams. In the case of shearing concrete beams reinforced with steel stirrups, according to the theory of plasticity, the plastic deformation of stirrups and stress redistribution in stirrups cut by a diagonal crack are permitted. Tensile composite reinforcement is characterized by linear-elastic behavior throughout the entire strength range. The most popular type of shear reinforcement is closed frame stirrups, and this type of Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) shear reinforcement was the subject of research by other authors. In the case of FRP stirrups, rupture occurs rapidly without the shear reinforcement being able to redistribute stress. An attempt was made to introduce a quasi-plastic character into the mechanisms transferring shear by appropriately shaping the shear reinforcement. Experimental material tests covered the determination of the strength and deformability of straight Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) bars and GFRP headed bars. Experimental studies of shear reinforced beams with GFRP stirrups and GFRP headed bars were carried out. This allowed a direct comparison of the shear behavior of beams reinforced with standard GFRP stirrups and a new type of shear reinforcement: GFRP headed bars. Experimental studies demonstrated that GFRP headed bars could be used as shear reinforcement in concrete beams. Unlike GFRP stirrups, these bars allow stress redistribution in bars cut by a diagonal crack.

Strength And Deformation

An ecofriendly fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) had been used in the last decade to enhance the short concrete column’s strength and deformation capacity. This study involves the wrapping of FRP sheets with a thickness of 3 mm and 5 mm on a short column, and then the compressive strength is determined. The rectangular columns of size 150 mm × 300 mm are used for this study, and cast under the grades of M20 and M40 are wrapped with GFRP sheets at the thickness of 3 mm and 5 mm. These results are clarified at a specific thickness of the FRP-wrapped columns. It provides a maximum axial compressive strength, and Young’s modulus gets enhanced rigorously when it is to be compared to the normal concrete. This thesis deals with experimental studies of different parameters associated with wrapped glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP). In M20 grade, when the 3 mm wrapped specimen and the 5 mm wrapped specimen are compared, the specimen wrapped with 5 mm increases 5.182% more than the specimen wrapped with 3 mm. In M40 grade, when the 0 mm, 3 mm, and 5 mm wrapped specimens are compared, the specimen wrapped with 5 mm increases 2.47% more than the specimen wrapped with 0 mm. The 5 mm wrapping attains the maximum strength.

Glass Fiber Reinforced

Fiber-reinforced polymer-based composites may experience various strain rates under different dynamic loads. As the mechanical behavior of these composites varies with strain rate, their response will be dependent on the strain rate. This paper presents a comprehensive review on glass fibers and composites reinforced with these fibers, as the most practical polymer-based composite, under dynamic loading. First, the properties of long glass fibers under different strain rates will be reviewed in detail. In the following, experimental studies on the effects of strain rate on various types of glass fiber-reinforced polymer-based composites will be categorized and presented. The behavior of thermoset polymers will be also addressed under different strain rates. Finally, various analytical and numerical macromechanical and micromechanical models will be comprehensively described for this type of composites.
