Performance of GFRP Bars in Flexural Members: A Comparative Study with Metal Bars Using FEA and Experimental Study
Abstract: In recent years, GFRP bars have been introduced as a replacement for metal bars as reinforcement in flexural members. This study evaluates the use of GFRP bars as the main reinforcement in flexural members such as beams through computer simulations and experimental work. A 4-meter beam from a sample structure, analyzed as per IS 875 (1987) Part 2, was considered for the study. This beam was designed considering both metal …
