Abstract:
The serviceability and ultimate limit states of a concrete member are reliant upon the bond of reinforcement. The performance of glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) reinforced concrete structures is influenced by multiple parameters and one of these parameters is the bond length of GFRP rebars. The scope of the present research is to experimentally study the effects of fully and partially bonded rebars on the load-bearing capacity and cracking of GFRP-reinforced concrete beams. The beams with partially bonded reinforcement show reduced capacities compared with those with fully bonded reinforcement, and the former reveals localized cracks. The partially bonded beams fail as a result of concrete splitting, while their fully bonded counterparts fail by concrete crushing.
