Behaviour of GFRP rebars reinforced concrete elements under elevated temperature and fire [PDF]
PhDIn general, it is expected that concrete structures using Glass Fibre Reinforced Plastic (GFRP) rebars as reinforcement could have improved durability compared to normal steel reinforcement because of the corrosion resistance of the rebar. However,
