Numerical Modeling of GFRP Reinforced Concrete Slabs

open access: yesمجلة العلوم الهندسية و تكنولوجيا المعلومات, 2017
The use of non-metallic fibre reinforced polymer reinforcement as an alternative to steel reinforcement in concrete is gaining acceptance mainly due to its high corrosion resistance. High strength-to-weight ratio, high stiffness-to-weight ratio and ease of handling and fabrication are added advantages.
