Abstract:

Carbon/glass HFRP bar attracts great attention in the civil engineering structures for its high elastic modulus and lower cost.It is expensive by experimental research on behaviors of HFRP bars reinforced concrete. Based on the test results,flexural behaviors of HFRP bars reinforced concrete beams are analyzed by ANSYS soft- ware.The results of FEM analysis and experiments are identical well.It provides useful method for researching the application of concrete beams reinforced with carbon/glass HFRP bars on civil engineering.

Key words:  carbon/glass hybrid fiber reinforced plastics (HFRP)bars, finite element analysis, bending performance, concrete structure
