Abstract: Concrete beams reinforced with glass-fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars exhibit large deflections in comparison with steel-reinforced concrete beams because of the low modulus of elasticity of GFRP bars. This paper ...

Abstract: In this paper, the bond strength of lap-spliced glass fiber–reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars in concrete beams is experimentally investigated. Thirteen beam specimens were manufactured for laboratory experiments. The parameter ...
