Innovative Design of GFRP Bars for Concrete Structures
Advanced Materials Research, 2012 This part analyzed GFRP rebar’s research situation, summarized its behaviuor as internal reinforcement for concrete structures. The research has been developed over recent years, however the rules and standard codes for design RC concrete structures with these rebars not consider that the internal reinforcement can work in compression.

RC column strengthening by lateral pre-tensioning of FRP [PDF]
, 2003 This paper presents a unique strengthening technique for existing concrete columns that use expansive materials to apply lateral pre-tensioning. The technique increases the capacity and ductility of a column as well as achieving better utilisation of the

Failure-mode-hierarchy-based design for reinforced concrete structures [PDF]
, 2005 Innovations in concrete construction can be held back by the inability of codes of practice to accommodate new materials. The current design and safety philosophy (DSP) of reinforced concrete relies heavily on the properties of steel reinforcement.
