Review on Flexural Behavior of Slabs Reinforced with FRP Bars Subjected to Static and Cyclic Loads

Abstract

One of the main issues that reduces the lifetime serviceability of concrete buildings is the corrosion of steel reinforcing. The degradation of concrete buildings caused by the corrosion of steel reinforcing can be prevented, delayed, or repaired using a variety of currently available techniques. Fiber reinforced polymer bars are an effective and affordable solution to the corrosion issues that steel rebars in severe settings are prone to. Steel alternatives that are robust and extremely corrosion resistant include fiber reinforced polymers. The fiber reinforced polymer bars have a high strength, a low center of gravity, are simple to handle, and require little maintenance. Glass fiber reinforced polymer bars are among the most widely used composite rebars, mostly because of their reasonable price and high performance. The Glass Fiber Reinforced Plastic's mechanical characteristics Steel bars were inferior to polymer bars in a number of respects. This study examines how glass fiber reinforced polymer slabs behave under flexure under static and cyclic loads. Keywords: GFRP bars, Steel.
