Remarks on bond of GFRP rebars and concrete
Composites Part B: Engineering, 2016 Abstract The paper presents and extensive investigation on the bond behaviour between GFRP (glass fibre reinforced polymer) rebars and concrete. Pull-out tests were performed on helically wrapped and sand coated GFRP rebars with a wide range of diameters. Nonlinear finite element simulations of the tests allowed determining the effective distribution

Shear resistance of SFRSCC short-span beams without transversal reinforcements [PDF]
, 2016 Corrosion of steel reinforcements, especially stirrups, is considered as one of the most common reasons that shorten the service life of the reinforced concrete structures.

, 2007 Insufficient concrete cover, poor design or workmanship, and presence of large amounts of aggressive agents including environmental factors all can lead to cracking of the concrete and corrosion of the steel rebar. The problems of steel corrosion are avoided with the use of FRPs because FRP materials are nonmetallic and noncorrosive.

Study on behavior of waffle-type UHPC-GFRP composite slab under three-point loading
Case Studies in Construction Materials, 2023 The concrete in tension zone of traditional reinforced concrete bridge deck is liable to crack under vehicle loading, leading to easy corrosion of the internal steel rebars and earlier appearance of bridgevvv disease.

Comparison of mechanical behavior of slabs reinforced with GFRP and steel
Revista ALCONPATThe objective of this study is to evaluate the mechanical behavior of GRFP in massive concrete slabs. The use of glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) rebars in construction design has been an alternative technique to provide more durable structures ...
