Failure-mode-hierarchy-based design for reinforced concrete structures [PDF]
Innovations in concrete construction can be held back by the inability of codes of practice to accommodate new materials. The current design and safety philosophy (DSP) of reinforced concrete relies heavily on the properties of steel reinforcement.

Flexural Behavior of Continuous GFRP Reinforced Concrete Beams [PDF]
The results of testing two simply and three continuously supported concrete beams reinforced with glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars are presented. The amount of GFRP reinforcement was the main parameter investigated. Over and under GFRP reinforcements were applied for the simply supported concrete beams.

Dynamic response of GFRP-reinforced UHPC beams under close-in blast loading
Combined use of ultrahigh-performance concrete (UHPC) with glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) reinforcement has the potential for further blast resistance enhancement of reinforced concrete (RC), due to the improved toughness of UHPC and the high ...

FE modelling of bond interaction of FRP bars to concrete [PDF]
In this paper a computational modelling approach is used to investigate the bond behaviour of fibre-reinforced plastic (FRP) bars in concrete. Two finite element packages (ANSYS and ABAQUS) are used to model the bond interaction of FRP reinforcing bars ...

Limiting Reinforcement Ratios for Hybrid GFRP/Steel Reinforced Concrete Beams
In this work, a theoretical approach is proposed for estimating the minimum and maximum reinforcement ratios for hybrid glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP)/steel-reinforced concrete beams to prevent sudden and brittle failure as well as the compression failure of concrete before the tension failure of reinforcements.

Flexural response of GFRP RC beams strengthened with side and bottom NSM GFRP bars
This study exhibits the bending performance of reinforced concrete (RC) beams with glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) rods. The beams were strengthened with the bottom or side near surface mounted (BNSM or SNSM) methods. Applying BNSM strengthening to

Masonry wall panels retrofitted with thermal-insulating GFRP-reinforced jacketing [PDF]
Today there is a need to provide thermally efficient walls, while at the same time to increase the mechanical properties of old unreinforced masonry walls that will not require large amounts of energy in the retrofitting or deconstruction processes.
