Flexural Response of RC beams cast with normal and steel fibre concrete internally reinforced with various types of FRP bars

Abstract

Fibre Reinforced Polymer (FRP) bars can be used as an alternate for reinforcing bars to avoid corrosion of steel. Samples of reinforced concrete beams cast with normal or steel fibre concrete (SFC), internally reinforced with Glass Fibre Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) or steel bars, are prepared and tested in this paper. Experimental results show that compressive strength of concrete increases with an increase in steel fibre (SF) ratio used in this study (from 0% to 1.5%). Also, the beams reinforced with GFRP bars have a lower initial stiffness and higher ductility than those reinforced with steel bars.
