Experimental Research on Flexural Behavior of FRP-Reinforced Concrete Beams

Abstract

In order to improve the durability of reinforced concrete member, fiber reinforced polymer (FRP)-reinforced concrete member is introduces. Monotonic loading was applied to a reinforced concrete beam and FRP-reinforced concrete beam, in order to investigate the failure progress and characteristics of FRP-reinforced concrete beam.. The presenting study provide a basis for improving the design method for FRP-reinforced concrete member.
