Abstract :

The use of Basalt Fiber Reinforced Polymer Rebar (BFRP) in place of steel rods in concrete
structures plays a significant role due to non-corrosive nature. These materials have higher
strength than steel but exhibit linear stress-strain response up to failure. Furthermore, the
modulus of elasticity of Basalt Fiber Reinforced Polymer is significantly lower than that of
steel. The present study focuses on gaining an insight into behavior of the concrete beams
reinforced with Basalt Fiber Reinforced Polymer bars subjected to two point loading system
by varying the grade of the concrete and diameter of the bar. Experiment will be undertaken
until failure to fully understand the influence of parameters on the flexural behavior of concrete
beams reinforced with Basalt Fiber Reinforced Polymer rebars and the experimental
observation includes failure mode, crack pattern, ultimate failure load, load deflection
behaviour and ductility. The comparisons between the flexural capacity of Basalt Fiber
Reinforced beam sand steel beams from theoretical and experimental analysis are done. The
structural behavior of Basalt Fiber Reinforced Polymer beam is validated by developing finite
element models using ANSYS Software.
