| Title of the article | PROPERTIES OF LOCALLY MANUFACTURED HYBRID FIBER REINFORCED POLYMERS (HFRP) REBARS |
| Abstract. | Glass fiber reinforced polymers rebars (GFRP) have many advantages compared to traditional reinforcing steel such as higher strength to weight ratio, higher resistance to corrosion as well as higher resistance to fatigue loads. One of the main disadvantages of GFRP bars is its lack of ductility. The linearly behavior of the GFRP bars up to failure makes their application incomparable with conventional steel bars. One solution to provide ductility for FRP is a hybrid FRP reinforced bars. A pilot trial to manufacture locally HFRP rebars using the Pultrusion method by the produced rebars consisted of Glass fiber combined with both Carbon and Aramid fiber with three different ratios for each. Tension test results showed that the locally produced hybrid FRP rebars had a kind of semi-ductile behavior similar to some extent to that of conventional reinforcing steel. |
