Abstract
The experimental investigation of flexural behaviour of SFRC beam reinforced with GFRP rebar and compared with steel reinforcement beams is presented in this project. Three beams were casted using SFRC and longitudinally reinforced with GFRP rebar. Three beams were casted with conventional concrete and steel bar. Six beams were casted and tested under two-point load. Along with beam, cube, cylinder and prism were casted and tested for compressive strength, split tensile and flexural strength. To improve the concrete’s property steel fibres were utilized. From testing of beam load vs deflection, load carrying capacity and stiffness were also calculated. The average load carrying capacity of GFRP rebar is 125.3kN and the average load carrying capacity of normal steel is 99.3kN.The highest deflection found in the GFRP rebar and standard steel reinforcement beam at their ultimate load is 21.5mm& 16.87mm respectively. It was also discovered GFRP beam returned to its original position
