This paper presents an investigation into the flexural behaviour of reinforced concrete beam with opening reinforced with two different materials i.e., steel and Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP). Comparison study between the two different materials were carried out and presented in this study through non-linear Finite Element Method (FEM) using the commercial ABAQUS 6.10 software package. The performance of the opening beam reinforced with GFRP is influenced by several key parameters. Simulation analyses were carried out to determine the behavior of beam with opening subjected to monotonic loading. The main parameters considered in this study are size of opening and reinforcement diameter. The results show that GFRP give 23%-29% more ductility than steel reinforcement. The result also shows when the size of opening change from 200mm to 150mm or from 150mm to 100mm the ultimate load capacity increase by 15%. In general, good agreement between the Finite Element (FE) simulation and the available experimental result has been obtained.

The behaviour of reinforced concrete beam strengthened with Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) and Glass fiber reinforced polymer GFRP laminates was investigated using finite element models and the results are presented in this paper. The numerical investigation assessed the effect of the configuration of FRP strengthening laminates on the behaviour of concrete beams. The load-deflection behaviour, and ultimate load of strengthened beam were compared to those of un-strengthened concrete beams. It was shown that using U-shaped FRP sheets increased the ultimate load. The stiffness of the strengthed beam also increased after first yielding of steel reinforcing bars. At was also observed that strengthening beams with FRP laminates to one-fourth of the beam span, modifies the failure of the beam from shear-controlled near the end of the unstrengthened beam, to flexure-controlled near mid-span. CFRP produced better results compared GFRP in terms of the ability to enhance the behavior of strengthenened reinforced concrete beams.

This paper presents an experimental study on 11 weak PVC-FRP Confined Concrete (PFCC) Column-strong Reinforced Concrete beam joints reinforced with Core Steel Tube (CST) subjected to axial load. The influences of the joint height, joint stirrup ratio, Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) strips spacing, steel ratio and CST length on the failure mode, ultimate strength, and strain behavior of specimens are analyzed and discussed. Test results indicate that the failure mode of specimens is distinguished by the cracking of PVC tube, fracture of CFRP strips, yielding of stirrups, and longitudinal steel bars in the PFCC columns. Both the longitudinal steel bars and CST yield at the joint area, while there is no obvious damage on the joint. The ultimate stress of specimens decreases with the increment of CFRP strips spacing, while the other studied variables have little impact on the ultimate stress. As the CFRP strips spacing increases, the ultimate strain of specimens decreases, and the strain development accelerates. Considering the effect of joint dimension, a modified prediction model for the stress–strain relationship of axially loaded weak PFCC column-strong RC beam joints reinforced with CST is proposed and verified with good accuracy.
