What is it about?

this research were in taking new variables that have not been explored earlier for a beam totally exposed to fire when loaded within the elastic range. Twenty GFRP-reinforced concrete beams were cast, cured, heated, and tested under four static point loadings. The present experiment analyzed and investigated beam capacity degradation after exposure to varying rising temperatures.

Why is it important?

The results of an experimental work to explore the effect of elevated temperatures on the load resistance of reinforced concrete beams with glass fiber-reinforced polymers (GFRP) bars are reported in this paper.

Perspectives

1. Residual strength and deformation of GFRP-reinforced concrete beams exposed to high temperatures. 2. Temperature increases in GFRP-reinforcing bars, concrete core, and furnace during fire exposure. 3. Fire-related behavior of loaded beams reinforced with GFRP bars.
