Evaluations of the effectiveness of the near‐surface mounted steel materials in strengthening short RC wall‐like columns with openings

Structural Concrete, Volume 27, Issue 4, Page 6356-6377, August 2026.
Abstract In practice, reinforced concrete (RC) wall‐like columns often have openings to facilitate building services, which creates stress concentrations around the opening, resulting in the weakening of their load‐carrying capacity. This study proposes innovative strengthening methods using near‐surface mounted (NSM) incorporating steel materials to ...

Effect of column dimension on the punching shear capacity of concrete slabs reinforced with GFRP bars [PDF]

E3S Web of Conferences
Traditional steel reinforcements are highly susceptible to corrosion affecting their durability and leading to structural weaknesses. The use of GFRP bars offers a corrosion-resistant alternative, potentially extending the lifespan and durability of ...

Durability assessment of GFRP bars in concrete exposed to field environment based on interlaminar shear strength

Case Studies in Construction Materials
The interlaminar shear strength (ILSS) can be an indicator of the deterioration of glass fibre-reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars. This property is normally evaluated by using a sample with a length equal to four to seven times the bar diameter, which can be

Indirect Ductility Evaluation of Hollow and Solid Concrete Beams Reinforced with GFRP Bars Under Repeated Loading

Applied Sciences
The use of Glass Fiber-Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) bars to reinforce concrete beams can provide high resistance to corrosion, high performance, high sustainability, and reasonable strength but with low ductility.

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.
