Replacement of Steel Reinforcement by Glass Fiber Reinforcement in RCC Structure-A Review

Experimental study of physical and mechanical properties of concrete specimens under the performance of elevated temperature. Studied the tensile behavior of FRP bars using ASTM and suggested that tensile properties depended on the surface deformation of the FRP bars. Investigated the performance of FRP bars when immersed in salt solutions. Various tests conducted on FRP reinforcement in specimen which is tension tests, direct pullout test. Investigated the effect of distilled water and alkaline condition on the durability of glass fiber bars. Reduced weight eases the handling of FRP bars. Observed FRP reinforced section show large deformations before failure. Compression behaviour of column specimen studied. Seismic performance of various specimens studied. The influence type of reinforcement, spacing of stirrups and loading condition (concentric, eccentric) on the performance of specimens were investigated. The increase in tensile strength, post cracking strength and toughness was reported. Focused on the structural behaviour and the performance of concrete column internally reinforced with glass fiber reinforced plastic bars. The mechanism of failure was explained. The gain in strength and ductility were recorded for well-confined columns. A comparative study between steel and fiber reinforced concrete column was reported. Studied the relation between axial load capacity of square concrete column and glass fiber reinforcement ratio. Three modes of failure were recorded such as crushing of concrete, compressive as well as tensile rupture of fiber reinforcing bars. The study involves work can be done in the field, it will give good strength. It will be good replacement to eliminate the corrosion problem. .
