Abstract: This study aims to investigate the flexural performance and design methods of flexural concrete beams reinforced with basalt fiber–reinforced polymer (BFRP) and steel bars. Eight concrete beams, which included six reinforced ...

Abstract: There is a limited understanding of the behavior of hybrid reinforced concrete (hybrid-RC) columns, incorporating both fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) and steel bars, when subjected to eccentric compression loads. In this ...

Abstract: The flexural behavior of concrete beams reinforced with a combination of basalt fiber–reinforced polymer (BFRP) bars and steel bars is investigated herein. Five hybrid BFRP and steel bar RC beams, one pure BFRP-RC beam, ...
