Design philosophy issues of fiber reinforced polymer reinforced concrete structures
, 2002 The conventional design philosophy for reinforced concrete (RC) relies heavily on the ductile properties of steel. These ductile properties are used as a "fuse" and conceal the large uncertainty in the determination of modes of failure caused ...
