Zum Tragverhalten von Betonbauteilen mit Faserverbundkunststoff-Bewehrung
… 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 conducted within its scope. The experimental programme …

Steel-free hybrid reinforcement system for reinforced concrete flexural members
… (MoDOT) to develop a nonferrous hybrid reinforcement system for concrete bridge decks by using continuous fiber-reinforced-polymer (FRP) rebars and discrete randomly distributed polypropylene fibers. This hybrid system may eliminate problems related to corrosion of steel reinforcement …

Investigating the use of fiber-reinforced polymer bars in concrete
… However, their use is still somewhat limited. FRP bars are very corrosion resistant and with much of the US infrastructure degrading, the use of FRP bars over conventional steel has been proposed as a fix to this remedy. This thesis looks into the difference between the properties of FRP and …

A Load-Deflection Study of Fiber-Reinforced Plastics as Reinforcement in Concrete Bridge Decks
… problem is the use of fiber reinforced plastics (FRP) as a replacement for reinforcing steel. The use of FRP as reinforcement has the following advantages of lightweight, high tensile strength, corrosion resistance, flexibility, and electromagnetic resistance. This paper looks at the use of FRP as …

Laboratory Tests of a Bridge Deck Prototype With Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer Bars as the Top Mat of Reinforcement
… prototype of an actual bridge deck containing GFRP bars as the top mat of reinforcement. The purpose of the tests was to verify that the design would resist the loads for which it was designed and provide assurance that the deck would not unexpectedly fail due to the use of this new material. …

Strengthening Damaged Reinforced Concrete Beams and Slender Columns Using Ultra-High Modulus CFRP Plates
… modulus carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) plates to strengthen damaged reinforced concrete beams and slender columns. In the first phase, two different pre-repair loading histories were simulated in seven 3000x300x150 mm reinforced concrete beams, namely cracking within the elastic …

Behaviour of lightweight concrete beams strengthened with carbon fibre reinforced polymer in shear
Epoxy bonded fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) composites are widely used for the retrofit of ailing reinforced concrete structures, for both shear and flexure. This technology provides unique features compared with conventional retrofitting systems. Among these FRP has good corrosion resistance, …

Effect of concrete heterogeneity on FRP-to-concrete bond behaviour
Fibre reinforced polymers (FRP) are widely used for strengthening or retrofitting deteriorated structures, due to their various advantages. In FRP-strengthened concrete structure, one of the main failure modes is the premature bond failure, which prevents the exploitation of the full capacity of …

Concrete columns and beams reinforced with FRP bars and grids under monotonic and reversed cyclic loading
The use of fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) reinforcement is currently being explored by the construction industry as a new and innovative material. A significant force behind this consideration is the superior performance of FRP material in corrosive environments. FRP possesses high …

Behaviour of continuous concrete T-beams reinforced with hybrid FRP/Steel bars
… reinforced with glass fibre reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars while the other five beams were reinforced with a different combination of GFRP and steel bars. The ratio of GFRP to steel reinforcement at both mid-span and middle-support sections was the main parameter investigated. The results showed …

Comparative study on the behaviour of concrete reinforced with FRP and steel singly reinforced beams
… concrete through the corrosion of steel reinforcement. The depassivation of the steel creates an environment prone to chloride ingress and carbonation. This leads to steel corrosion and internal stresses which further exasperates the problem. Fiber Reinforced polymers can be an …

Experimental and Analytical Evaluation of FRP-Retrofitted Reinforced Concrete Diaphragms for In-Plane Shear Strengthening
… of externally bonded fiber reinforced polymer (FRP). FRP is an attractive option because it is quick to install, non-corrosive, and increases the mass of the structure far less than other methods. Although FRP is commonly used to strengthen the in-plane shear capacity of reinforced concrete …
