Experimental Studies on High Strength Concrete Beams Reinforced with Steel and GFRP Rebars

Article Preview

Abstract:

The paper analyzes the structural behavior of high strength concrete (HSC) beams reinforced with hybrid glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) and steel reinforcements. The analysis refers to HSC beams reinforced with GFRP rebars and steel rebars placed in different layers. Results of the experimental and theoretical investigation are represented and discussed. Significant features of the structural behavior regarding flexural strength, deflection, are pointed out.
