Structural Behaviour of Strengthened Timber Beams With Fibre‐Reinforced Polymer (FRP) and Steel: A Review

Advances in Civil Engineering, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
This paper provides a focused review of the studies on short‐term flexural performance, creep behaviour and blast responses of timber beams reinforced with three strengthening methods: external reinforcement (ER), near‐surface mounted (NSM) and glued‐in (GI) methods.

Optimization of Concrete Beams Reinforced with GFRP Bars

Journal of Soft Computing in Civil Engineering, 2022
Members with GFRP bars exhibit different behavior from those with steel bars due to the brittle and low elastic modulus of the GFRP bars. However, there are limited studies considering the optimum design of reinforced concrete members with GFRP bars compared with extensive studies for reinforced concrete members with steel bars.
