Overview

Experimental study showed improved load-carrying capacity in lightweight reinforced concrete beams, implying NSM GFRP bars enhance flexural and shear behavior.

Key Points

  • Lightweight reinforced concrete beams exhibited improved load-carrying capacity with NSM GFRP bars—compared to control specimens.
  • The experimental results indicated a significant enhancement in flexural and shear modes of failure when strengthened with NSM GFRP.
  • Assessment using the DIC method provided higher accuracy in analyzing strain profiles and load-displacement behaviors than visual inspection.
  • Sustainable reinforced concrete solutions are necessary to address construction material efficiency and structural integrity.
