Abstract:
In order to evaluate the effectiveness and acceptability of glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars as a substitute for conventional steel reinforcement, this study looks into their use in reinforced concrete sections. To assess the mechanical qualities of GFRP bars, the research includes mix design, casting, and extensive testing, such as flexural and tensile tests. Furthermore, a comprehensive study of GFRP-integrated reinforced concrete building sections is carried out, looking at factors like primary stresses, bending stresses, shear stresses, and deflection. Additionally, using ANSYS software, a comparative study of beam-column junctions using GFRP and RCC sections is conducted to evaluate structural performance under various loading circumstances. The results demonstrate how GFRP bars can improve building projects' structural integrity, toughness, and sustainability
