This paper presents an extensive experimental study of the effect of surface characteristics
on the bond behaviour of Fibre Reinforced Polymer (FRP) bars in concrete. A wide range of …

The interaction of reinforcement bars with concrete determines the structural behavior and
bond performance (bond strength) in reinforced cement concrete. Bond strength and its …

Abstract Glass Fibre Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) bars have been employed as internal
reinforcement for concrete members when corrosion of the commonly used steel bars is …

Paper presents assessment of bond behaviour between GFRP bars and concrete,
investigated through set of centric and eccentric pull-out specimens. Main parameters under …

Abstract Bond performance of Fibre Reinforced Polymer (FRP) bars to concrete can
considerably differ from those of traditional steel because of the different physical and …

Replacing steel reinforcing bars in reinforcing concrete (RC) structures with fibre-reinforced
polymer (FRP) bars is an effective approach to avoid problems associated with corrosion of …

The combined use of Fibre Reinforced Polymer (FRP) and Air-Entrained Concrete (AEC)
can be an alternative to traditional steel-reinforced concrete as this system is less affected by …

Developing low-embodied energy building materials can significantly contribute to reducing
global greenhouse gas emissions. However, these new building materials must be properly …

To prevent the concrete bar from slipping, a common approach is to ensure an adequate
development length or bend it upwards. However, in the case of fiber reinforcement polymer …

Due to the highly complex cracking behaviour of reinforced concrete structures, their design
for serviceability is one of the most challenging tasks of engineering practice. Existing test …
