GFRP Bars as a Substitution in Structure
Journal Title: GRD Journal for Engineering - Year 2016, Vol 1, Issue 0
Abstract
Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) is an advanced composite material that has been identified as a potential new construction material. Since it is a non-corrosive material it may be used as reinforcement in concrete member. However, there is limited experience with the design and construction of GFRP reinforced concrete structures. An analytical method is used to predict the deflection of the rectangular reinforced concrete beam strengthened by GFRP bars. To achieve the aim, finite element modelling has been carried out. All the work and modelling of beam is carried out in the software called ATENA 3D, a product of CERVENKA CONSULTING. During the study, experimental analysis of the beams were carried out and results from analytical and experimental works were compared. For such study, efficiency and effectiveness of different but very practical GFRP scheme for flexural and shear strengthening of RC beam has been analyzed. Here the beam reinforced with appropriate number of GFRP main bars and steel bars and combination of both were analyzed in the software and experimental work.
