Flexural behaviour of continuously supported FRP reinforced concrete beams.
This thesis has investigated the application of CFRP and GFRP bars as longitudinal reinforcement for continuously supported concrete beams. Two series of simply and continuously supported CFRP and GFRP reinforced concrete beams were tested in flexure. In addition, a continuously supported steel …

Detection of defects in FRP-reinforced concrete with the acoustic-laser vibrometry method
Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) strengthening and retrofitting of concrete structural elements has become increasingly popular for civil infrastructure systems. When defects occur in FRP-reinforced concrete elements at the FRP-concrete interface, such as voids or delamination, FRP obscures the …

Comparative study on the behaviour of concrete reinforced with FRP and steel singly reinforced beams
Maintenance and repair of concrete infrastructure account for a large amount of financial resources. This is due to the deterioration of reinforced concrete through the corrosion of steel reinforcement. The depassivation of the steel creates an environment prone to chloride ingress and carbonation. …

Behaviour of continuous concrete slabs reinforced with FRP bars. Experimental and computational investigations on the use of basalt and carbon fibre reinforced polymer bars in continuous concrete slabs.
… investigation on the application of basalt fibre reinforced polymer (BFRP) and carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) bars as longitudinal reinforcement for simple and continuous concrete slabs is presented. Eight continuously and four simply concrete slabs were constructed and tested to failure. …

Zum Tragverhalten von Betonbauteilen mit Faserverbundkunststoff-Bewehrung
… investigations on the load carrying behaviour of concrete members with Fibre Reinforced Polymers (FRP). Besides a detailed description of the FRP bars, which are used as non-prestressed reinforcement in concrete structures, this thesis contains the state of the art related to the experiments …

Reliability-based durability assessment of GFRP bars for reinforced concrete
The American Concrete Institute (ACI) has developed guidelines for the design of fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) reinforced concrete structures. Current guidelines require the application of environmental and flexural strength reduction factors, which have minimal experimental validation. Our goal …

Novel Concrete Reinforcement for Wave Energy Converters
… this study investigates the behaviour of novel concrete reinforcement for the wave energy converters. The reinforcement included fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP), synthetic fibres, steel fibres and ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE). 24 cube specimens were tested using a pull-out …

A study of fiberglass-reinforced plastic for reinforcing concrete bridge decks
Deterioration of reinforced concrete bridge decks has gained widespread public attention and concern in recent years. Much of the damage can be attributed to corrosion of steel reinforcing bars. Numerous solutions have been suggested, one of which is the replacement of steel with a non-corroding …
