Abstract Glass fibre reinforced polymer (GFRP) has excellent material properties such as light weight and corrosion resistance, been applied to bridge appendages wall railings. In this case, bent L‐shaped steel members (bent members) are used at the joints with floor slab. The GFRP railings were designed consider wind loads acting on them, bolt holes for anchor bolts slotted hole ease of instal...

Fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) is one of the best retrofitting materials for strengthening due to a number of advantages, such as excellent strength to self-weight ratio, large fatigue resistance capacity, etc. Presently, many different types of FRP models are used in analysis, thereby creating erroneous analytical results. Reinforced concrete (RC) beams with carbon and glass fibrereinforced po...

This paper discusses the Finite Element analysis (FE) conducted to predict behavior of Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete (GFRC) beams without shear reinforcement (stirrups) and strengthen them with proposed techniques increase their strength. for this study, A total eighteen (18) (120 * 300 2200 mm) specimens were modeled using Ansys™ mechanical. The main variables percentage discrete glass fiber...

The effect of adding different percentages nano-graphene oxide (NGO) into the epoxy resin on mechanical properties NGO/epoxy and maximum peeling force fiber-metal laminates (FMLs) with composite cores are investigated in this paper. Three NGO including 0.1, 0.35 0.50 weight (wt. %) used to fabricate tensile test samples NGO/epoxy. Hand lay-up method is FML specimens glass fiber reinforced plast...

In this paper, a comprehensive experimental study was conducted to investigate the bond performance of sand-coated glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars embedded in normal concrete with different bar sizes and regions beams following regulation Rilem beam. The achieved results are compared analytical equations presented by current codes reputable recent research using average strength free...
