Degradation of glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars in concrete environment

Construction and Building Materials, 2021
Abstract Degradation of tensile, shear and flexure properties of glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars is investigated in the paper. Glass fibre reinforced polymer bars, when used in structures exposed to aggressive environments, can significantly increase the lifetime, as compared to structures reinforced with conventional steel.

Energy absorption for indentation damage in glass fiber reinforced polymers (GFRP)

Journal of Materials Science Letters, 2003
Although GFRP has a much higher strength-to-weight ratio than conventional materials such as steels and concrete, it suffers from poor “local” resistance to the indentation damage, often introduced by transverse point loading. This is due to the inherent in-plane reinforcement of fiber, which does not provide any strengthening of the GFRP in the out-of-

Design and Analysis of Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) Leaf Spring

2011 Fourth International Conference on Emerging Trends in Engineering & Technology, 2011
Weight reduction is now the main issue in automobile industries. Weight reduction can be achieved primarily by the introduction of better material, design optimization and better manufacturing processes. The achievement of weight reduction with adequate improvement of mechanical properties has made composite a very good replacement material for ...

Prediction of shear behavior of steel fiber-reinforced rubberized concrete beams reinforced with glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars

Composite Structures, 2021
Abstract A combination of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) reinforcing bars and steel fibers can be employed in locations of a structure with reinforcement congestion instead of the conventional combination of steel rebars and stirrups. In this study, first, the shear performance of the FRP bar-reinforced concrete beams containing steel fibers and ...

Flexural Behaviors of Glass Fiber-Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) Reinforced Engineered Cementitious Composite Beams

ACI Materials Journal, 2002
Broad applications of fiber-reinforced polymer reinforcement are hindered by its elastic brittle behavior, resulting in reduced structural ductility. In addition, due to the lower modulus of elasticity, serviceability considerations such as deflection and crack width control present serious challenges to designers.

3D-Finite Element Analysis (FEA) of Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) Reinforced Concrete Members

2019 8th International Conference on Modeling Simulation and Applied Optimization (ICMSAO), 2019
The available finite element packages are not suitable for modeling GFRP reinforced concrete members due to their different properties. This paper presents the finite element analysis (FEA) for glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) reinforced concrete members using ABAQUS. The purpose of the analysis is to predict their shear capacity.

Flexural Behavior of Concrete Beams Reinforced with Glass Fiber-Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) Bars

ACI Structural Journal, 2000
Concrete members reinforced with glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars exhibit large deflections and crack widths compared with concrete members reinforced with steel. This is due to the low modulus of elasticity of GFRP. Current design methods for predicting deflections at service load and crack widths developed for concrete structures reinforced

Tension stiffening and cracking of concrete reinforced with glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars

Canadian Journal of Civil Engineering, 2004
Tension stiffening and cracking of axial tension members is evaluated for concrete reinforced with steel (reinforcing ratio ρ = 2.0%) and glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars (1.3%, 2.0%, and 2.9%), with shrinkage included in the analysis of the member response.

Repairing and strengthening of reinforced concrete cantilever slabs using Glass Fiber–Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) wraps

Structures, 2020
Abstract This study represents the behavior of reinforced concrete cantilever slabs repaired and strengthened using GFRP experimentally; then a 3D finite element model using “ANSYS” was constructed to test the validity of analytical models in capturing the experimental cases.
