The use of glass-fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) bar to replace steel reinforcement in concrete structures is a relatively a new technique. The GFRP bars possess mechanical properties different from steel bars, including high tensile strength combined with low elastic modulus and linear stress–strain relationship up to failure. Therefore, design procedures and process should account for these properties. This paper presents the experimental work on the flexural behavior of concrete beam reinforced with GFRP bars and strengthen with CFRP plate. A total of ten reinforced concrete beams reinforced with either steel and GFRP bars were cast and tested under four point loads. Eight concrete beams (200x250x2800mm) were reinforced with 13mm diameter GFRP bars together with strengthening using CFRP plate and two control beams reinforced with 12mm diameter steel bars were tested. The experimental results show that although the stiffness of the beams reduced but the ultimate load of the GFRP reinforced concrete beam is bigger than steel reinforced beam. It was also found that strengthening using CFRP plate will further enhanced the flexural performance of the beams with GFRP bars.

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.

The behaviour of reinforced concrete beam strengthened with Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) and Glass fiber reinforced polymer GFRP laminates was investigated using finite element models and the results are presented in this paper. The numerical investigation assessed the effect of the configuration of FRP strengthening laminates on the behaviour of concrete beams. The load-deflection behaviour, and ultimate load of strengthened beam were compared to those of un-strengthened concrete beams. It was shown that using U-shaped FRP sheets increased the ultimate load. The stiffness of the strengthed beam also increased after first yielding of steel reinforcing bars. At was also observed that strengthening beams with FRP laminates to one-fourth of the beam span, modifies the failure of the beam from shear-controlled near the end of the unstrengthened beam, to flexure-controlled near mid-span. CFRP produced better results compared GFRP in terms of the ability to enhance the behavior of strengthenened reinforced concrete beams.

The construction of structures with reinforced concrete materials in coastal environments will face constraints in the form of chloride influences which can lead to a decrease in strength and even damage. One of the most popular reinforcement methods today is using a corrosion resistant Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) material. This study was conducted to investigate the behavior of GFRP-S rectifying capacity in reinforced concrete beam reinforcement in 1, 3, 6, and 12 months. The test specimens consist of 10 reinforced beams with dimensions (15x20x330) cm that has been reinforced with GFRP-S in the bending area. Beams without immersion symbolized B0, immersion 1, 3, 6, and 12 months each given symbols B1, B3, B6 and B12. The test specimen is loaded statically until it fails. To record the data when testing is installed strain gauge and LVDT. From the result of the research, it can be seen that there is a decrease of GFRP-S rectification capacity in the test specimen after soaking in seawater. The value of the decrease in the capacity of the bonding can be predicted by using the equation

Tension stiffening and cracking of axial tension members is evaluated for concrete reinforced with steel (reinforcing ratio ρ = 2.0%) and glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars (1.3%, 2.0%, and 2.9%), with shrinkage included in the analysis of the member response. Results show that because of a lower bar stiffness the GFRP-reinforced concrete exhibits greater tension stiffening than steel-reinforced concrete for any given value of axial member strain. Transverse cracking in the GFRP-reinforced concrete does not stabilize until much higher values of axial strain are reached, and longitudinal splitting cracks are also evident before cracking has stabilized. Crack widths in concrete reinforced with GFRP bars are larger because of their lower bar stiffness in combination with an increased crack spacing during the crack development stage. Tension stiffening of cracked reinforced concrete is taken into account using an average stress-strain response with a descending branch to model the concrete in tension. A tension stiffening factor is used to characterize this tensile property with an empirical relationship related to the reinforcing bar stiffness and independent of both concrete strength and reinforcing ratio. Results are also compared with the predicted member response based on the 1978 Comité Euro-International du Béton (CEB) CEB-FIP model code approach and American Concrete Institute (ACI) method of using an effective cracked section property for the transformed concrete area. This comparison shows that both methods are valid only for a limited range of reinforcing ratios.Key words: cracking, crack spacing, crack width, GFRP, reinforced concrete, tension stiffening.
