Shear behaviour of synthetic fibre reinforced concrete beams reinforced with FRP rebars (2015)

FRP rebar has become considered more and more as an ordinary reinforcement in concrete structures, due to its main advantage of being corrosion-free. However, FRP bars can be bent only at the manufacturing stage and not on site, which makes the production of items such as stirrups difficult and uneconomical. As an alternative, shear reinforcement bars could be replaced by fibre reinforcement. In order to maintain the non-corrosive nature of the composite material synthetic fibre should be used in this case. In this paper beam tests were carried out to research the shear behaviour of these fully non-corrosive reinforced concrete beams.
