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 construction of structures with reinforced concrete materials in coastal environments will face constraints in the form of chloride influences which can lead to a decrease in strength and even damage. One of the most popular reinforcement methods today is using a corrosion resistant Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) material. This study was conducted to investigate the behavior of GFRP-S rectifying capacity in reinforced concrete beam reinforcement in 1, 3, 6, and 12 months. The test specimens consist of 10 reinforced beams with dimensions (15x20x330) cm that has been reinforced with GFRP-S in the bending area. Beams without immersion symbolized B0, immersion 1, 3, 6, and 12 months each given symbols B1, B3, B6 and B12. The test specimen is loaded statically until it fails. To record the data when testing is installed strain gauge and LVDT. From the result of the research, it can be seen that there is a decrease of GFRP-S rectification capacity in the test specimen after soaking in seawater. The value of the decrease in the capacity of the bonding can be predicted by using the equation

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.
