Abstract:In recent years, the use of GFRP reinforcing bars in place of steel reinforcing bars in concrete structures such as, buildings, roads, and bridges cannot be overlooked as they offer advantages such as higher tensile strength, corrosion resistance, reduced weight and cost effectiveness compared to steel reinforcing bars. The use of PKS as partial coarse aggregate in steel reinforced concrete has been studied by several researchers and found to produce lightweight concrete and reduce construction cost but, the a… Show more
