| Safety of GFRP-Reinforced Concrete Columns Subjected to Sustained Intensity |
|---|
| This research presents the safety of concrete columns reinforced with glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) composite bars under sustained loading over a service period of 100 years. An analytical model is formulated based on force equilibrium and strain compatibility to predict the behavior of the columns and to assess their performance reliability. Upon validation of the model against published experimental data, an extensive parametric study is conducted to elucidate the safety of the columns subjected to the long-term load. The implications of the constituents are examined with a focus on creep, shrinkage, and stress redistributions. The vulnerability of premature failure is discussed for practitioners to consider when implementing GFRP-reinforced concrete columns in the field. |
