PERFORMANCE OF CONCRETE COLUMN WITH GFRP REBAR UNDER AXIAL LOADING

Abstract: The axial behaviour of reinforced concrete columns with glass fibre reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars, where this material represents a relatively new technology? Therefore, much research is needed to determine its characteristics and gain confidence to be accepted by engineers for practical application. More than 25 papers are being reviewed about load carrying capacity of columns and then conclusion were made from those reviews. FRP bars have emerged as an attractive alternative to the traditional steel bars because of higher ultimate tensile strength to weight ratio.
