Evaluation of Concrete Structures Reinforced with Fiber Reinforced Polymers Bars: A Review

Abstract

Article HistoryThe behavior of concrete members reinforced with fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) bars has been the focus of many studies in recent years due to their excellent corrosion resistance, high tensile strength, and good non-magnetization properties. However, the low modulus of elasticity of the FRP materials and their non-yielding characteristics results in large deflection and wide cracks in FRP reinforced concrete members. This review was focusing in different behavior of FRP bars in reinforced concrete (RC) structures. Data and information collected in this review were gathered from the experimental, numerical and analytical studies from previous researches.Contribution/ Originality: This study contributes in the existing literature by investigate the behavior of FRP bars in reinforced concrete (RC) structures. Due to the increased use of FRP bars in concrete structures, the performance of FRP bars has been an important research topic in recent years.

Uncovering the dynamic fracture behavior of PMMA

“…We use a PD code implemented to run on a single CPU with an NVIDIA Tesla P100 GPU [23]. The PD simulations using the smallest horizon (and densest grids) over 10k time steps take about 10 minutes to complete on an Intel Xeon E5-2670 2.60-GHz processor with the Tesla P100 GPU.…”

Numerical Analysis of FRP Reinforced Frames Under Cyclic Loading

“…In the last decade, Important efforts have been made to apply FRP Composite materials to the construction sector and, finally, structural uses of composite materials have started to emerge in civil infrastructure structures. FRP materials used as interior and exterior reinforcements in the field of structural engineering [3]. The high tensile strength, lower density, higher rigidity, chemical resistance, and other properties characterise FRP.…”

“…In recent years, significant research activities have shown that FRP materials can be used successfully to reinforce RC structures [5,6]. High-tensile fibre stiffeners including aramid, carbon and glass are mixed into polymer arrays and are manufactured in various forms and characteristics such as rods, grids and tubes [3]. FRP reinforcement also offers an opportunity for fast incorporation of optical fiber strain measuring devices of structural health monitoring applications.…”

Late Age Dynamic Strength of High-Volume Fly Ash Concrete with Nano-Silica and Polypropylene Fibres

“…Several structures as instant tunnels may be subject to accidental or man-made explosions during the service time [12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19]. It leads to the fact that the concrete material is in danger of fire exposure and dynamic loads simultaneously.…”
