Mechanical and durability properties of GFRP bars exposed to aggressive solution environments

Science and Engineering of Composite Materials, 2021
Two categories of GFRP specimens, in nominal diameters of 11.2 mm and 15.6 mm respectively, made of E-glass fibers and a vinylester resin were immersed in alkaline solution, saline solution and tap water solution at room temperature.

Experimental and numerical investigation on the flexural response of GFRP‐reinforced SFRC beams

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract In order to address the challenges related to the deformability and ductility of concrete beams reinforced with fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) bars, an alternative solution involving steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC) has been proposed. In the present study, a total of seven beams—including one steel‐reinforced reference beam and six glass

Performance of Glass Fiber Composites With Plastic‐Waste Pyrolysis Char as Filler

Polymer Composites, Volume 47, Issue 16, Page 14769-14787, 20 August 2026.
Valorisation of mixed plastic waste into carbonaceous char via pyrolysis, its integration as a microfiller in epoxy/E‐glass (GFRP) laminates, and characterisation to assess composite performance as a function of filler loading. ABSTRACT Plastic pyrolysis offers circular solutions for mixed plastic waste but leaves a carbonaceous char that is often ...

Novel Recyclable Hierarchical Carbon Fiber/Epoxy Composites: Preserving Fiber Length and Orientation Using Elium

Polymer Composites, Volume 47, Issue 11, Page 9939-9954, 10 June 2026.
Schematic illustration of a hierarchical recycling approach that preserves reinforcing fiber orientation. ABSTRACT Current recycling methods for polymer matrix composites produce short, unoriented carbon fibers, limiting their use to intermediate‐strength applications.

THE FATIGUE BEHAVIOUR OF GFRP BARS - EXPERIMENTAL STUDY

Acta Polytechnica CTU Proceedings, 2019
The paper describes an experimental program for studying the fatigue performance of GFRP bars, which has been initiated by the authors. Two different test configurations were used to assess the fatigue behaviour. The bare specimens were tested within the first series.

Bioinspired Regenerative Lignification Enables Ultra‐Hard and Sustainable Bamboo Structural Materials

Exploration, Volume 6, Issue 3, June 2026.
Developing strong and sustainable materials is essential for reducing reliance on metals and lowering carbon emissions. Inspired by how plants naturally harden their cell walls, we created a rapid process that transforms bamboo into an ultra‐hard structural material by rebuilding lignin‐like networks within its structure.

Design of Flexural Members Reinforced with GFRP Bars

IOP Conference Series: Materials Science and Engineering, 2020
Abstract Reinforced concrete has emerged as a primary construction material since the nineteenth century. A passive combination of concrete and steel reinforcing bar (rebar), this composite material is widely used in various types of structures.

Computational intelligence model for predicting the compressive strength of FRP‐confined concrete column

Structural Concrete, Volume 27, Issue 3, Page 4398-4415, June 2026.
Abstract Fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) wrapping technology is commonly used to enhance the compressive strength (CS) of reinforced concrete (RC) members. Accurate prediction of the compressive strength of FRP‐confined concrete columns is crucial for optimizing structural design and helps reduce the time and costs associated with physical testing ...
