Behavior of Concrete Members Internally Reinforced with FRP
Behavior of concrete members reinforced by fiber reinforced polymer bars is investigated under different types of loading. Bridge decks reinforced by FRP, to benefit from the non-corrosion properties of FRP, are tested to investigate its flexural behavior. FRP was also used as internal stirrups of concrete members to resist shearing forces.
