Long-term bond performance of GFRP bars in concrete under temperature ranging from 20°C to 80°C

Bond‐Slip Behavior Between GFRP Bars and Mortar Based on Pull‐Out Tests

“…During the past several decades, fiber reinforcement polymer (FRP) bar concrete structures have attracted wide attention for their excellent corrosion resistance . In contrast to other types of FRPs, glass fiber reinforcement plastic (GFRP) bars have attracted considerable attention in civil engineering application because of its lower cost .…”

Bond characteristics of straight- and headed-end, ribbed-surface, GFRP bars embedded in high-strength concrete

“…These characteristics include high tensile strength, corrosive resistance, light weight, electric insulation and fatigue resistance [1]. Therefore, in the recent years, FRP bars have been introduced as a competent alternative to traditional reinforcing steel bars for different concrete structures subjected to severe environmental conditions such as waste water treatment and chemical plants, floating decks, sea walls and water structures [2][3][4][5][6][7]. In addition, it has been found that FRP bars can eliminate durability problem associated with corroded reinforcing bars [8][9][10][11].…”

Heat Transfer Analysis of Reinforced Concrete Beams Reinforced with GFRP Bars

“…Corrosion of steel reinforcement has been identified as a key factor of deterioration and structural deficiency (Masoudi et al, 2011) in reinforced concrete (RC) structural members. The corrosion state of current RC bridges and high-rise buildings has been a source of concern to designers and engineers.…”

“…Several different solutions were proposed to retrofit deteriorated structural members (Masoudi et al, 2011;Hawelih et al, 2011;AlTamimi et al, 2011) by replacing cracked concrete, using epoxy injected supplements, and FRP externally bonded systems. The use of embedded FRP bar reinforcement seems to be a promising solution (Masoudi et al, 2011;Bisby, 2003;Abbasi & Hogg, 2006;Qu et al, 2009;Aiello & Ombres, 2002) to strengthen structural RC members in flexure and shear. Compared to the conventional reinforcing steel bars, the FRP bars seem to have a high strength to weight ratio, moderate modulus of elasticity and resistance to chemical and electrical corrosion.…”
