Reinforced concrete structures consists of two main components and the behavior of these structures influenced by gender and material properties, in order to investigate the behavior of concrete reinforced beam that most important flexural element in reinforced concrete structures, we chosen High Strength Concrete (HSC) for concrete and GFRP and steel bars for reinforcement. For compare the new...

The use of Glass Fibre Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) bars is considered an alternative option in reinforcing concrete structures instead of conventional steel bars especially in harsh severe environments, due to their mechanical properties and physical characteristics. GFRP bars offer many advantages over steel counterparts such as corrosion resistance, high tensile strength, low weight and electro...

Environmental awareness and the need for sustainable construction inspired researchers practitioners to explore innovative alternatives that might reduce greenhouse gas emissions energy use related excessive structural work. One such alternative is utilization of Fiber-Reinforced Polymer (FRP) bars as a reinforcement in reinforced concrete members. FRP possess favorable characteristics like hig...

This study investigates the impact of accelerated aging conditions on the long-term flexural behavior and ductility of reinforced concrete (RC) members with glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars (RC-GFRP specimen) and steel bars (RC-steel specimen). A total of thirty six specimens were designed with different amounts of reinforcement with three types of reinforcing bars (i.e., helically wr...

GTP cyclohydrolase I feedback regulatory protein (GFRP) is a 9.7-kDa protein regulating GTP cyclohydrolase I activity in dependence of tetrahydrobiopterin and phenylalanine concentrations, thus enabling stimulation of tetrahydrobiopterin biosynthesis by phenylalanine to ensure its efficient metabolism by phenylalanine hydroxylase. Here, we were interested in regulation of GFRP expression by pro...

Reinforced concrete (RC) beams may require flexural strengthening due to the corrosion of reinforcing bars or changes in design load. The near surface mounted (NSM) and externally bonded (EB) techniques, using either glass carbon fibre-reinforced polymer (GFRP CFRP) composites, are used for deficient RC beams. However, strengthened with both techniques susceptible debonding failure FRP composit...

This study was numerically focused on the non-linear behaviour of glass fibre reinforced polymer (GFRP) concrete beams with different amounts transverse reinforcement. The mid-span deflection beam cannot effectively be restricted using higher amount flexural GFRP bars, owing to their low deformability factor. So, use high reinforcement ratio is proposed decrease and crack widths. Following this...

Glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) pultruded profiles are being increasingly used in civil engineering applications. Although they offer several advantages over traditional materials, such as high strength, lightness and non-corrodibility, GFRP profiles present low elasticity and shear moduli, which together with their slender walls makes them very prone to buckling phenomena. Several previo...

A multilaboratory investigation into the durability of glass fiber–reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars extracted from eleven 15- to 20-year-old bridges in US will be performed. Part 1 (Benzecry et al., forthcoming) this two-paper series describes and presents data on condition their concrete, 2 focuses bars. Constituent content, maximum water absorption, as-received moisture transition temperature (...
