ANALYTICAL INVESTIGATION OF CONCRETE BEAMS REINFORCED WITH HYBRID GFRP/STEEL BARS
Session
Architecture and Spatial Planning
Description
In this study, an investigation of the hybrid reinforcement application on concrete beams, which are reinforced with Glass FRP (Fiber Reinforced Polymer) and steel bars as longitudinal reinforcement, is presented. By using ANSYS modelling software, five concrete beams were created as 3-D models to simulate the behavior of hybrid reinforced concrete beams with GFRP/steel bars.
All tested models were created with rectangular cross section with the width of 200mm and the depth of 300mm. The beams are simple supported and have a span of 2800mm.
The main objective of this research is to investigate and to analyze the flexural behavior of concrete beams reinforced with FRP bars. Furthermore, the parameters as the type of material, the amount and the configuration of the rebars as longitudinal reinforcement were investigated as well.
