Abstract

The use of Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer is increasing day to day to necessitate its use in the developing concrete structures. With its distinct anti-corrosive nature and high-strength properties, the application of GFRP in concrete is limitless. This study aims to understand the behaviour of glass fiber reinforced concrete beams. In this study, the GFRP bars were made in-house using a cost effective method and are used in making beams. Nine beam specimens with varying reinforcement percentage and configurations were tested for their flexural strength and the test results show that the GFRP enhances the strength of concrete compared to steel reinforcement.
