Abstract:
This research examines the shear strength of lightweight concrete (LWC) beams reinforced with Glass Fiber-Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) bars. It aims to address the current gap in the ACI code regarding the use of GFRP bars in lightweight concrete structures, as existing guidelines primarily focus on normal weight concrete (NWC).
