Abstract:

The application of Glass Fiber-reinforced polymers (GFRP) to existing Reinforced Concrete (RC) structural elements as external reinforcement has become popular and frequently applied in recent years. An analytical and experimental study has been carried out to investigate the behavior of concrete beams bonded with strengthened Glass Fiber- Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) sheets on all sides with different thickness under loading. Several investigators carried out experimental and or theoretical investigations on concrete beams and columns retrofitted with glass Fiber-reinforced polymer composites in order to study their effectiveness. The experiment has been carried out for the comparison and the study of effect of GFRP. Masonry structures also benefit with FRP reinforcement. Their use as original reinforcement and for strengthening structure is being specified more and more by structural engineers in the construction industry. FRPs using glass fibers are the predominant reinforcing fiber in all industries. It has high electrical insulating properties, good heat resistance, and has the lowest cost.
