Performance of Geopolymer Concrete Reinforced with FRP Rebars - A Review

Abstract

The advantages of FRP reinforcements have made the researchers to concentrate on the various studies of FRP reinforcements for repair and strength of RC structures in the recent past years. FRP rods have proven their excellence in the construction of structures which are exposed to corrosion. Similarly, Geopolymer (GPC) concrete outstands prominently with its distinct properties like improved strength, resistant to acid, fire flames, sulphate, lesser shrinkage and creep. This paper reviews the important and extensive studies conducted by the researchers to bring out the important aspects related with the flexural performance of FRP reinforcements in GPC.
