Abstract

The increasing demand for corrosion-resistant reinforcement in concrete structures has highlighted the potential of basalt fiber-reinforced polymer (BFRP) bars as a sustainable alternative to conventional steel reinforcement. However, the flexural behavior of BFRP-reinforced concrete beams remains insufficiently characterized, particularly through advanced numerical simulation. This study develops and validates a finite element model (FEM) to analyze the flexural performance of BFRP-reinforced concrete beams and to compare it with that of steel-reinforced beams. Eight beam specimens (200 × 300 × 3,100 mm), including six reinforced with BFRP bars and two with steel bars, were modeled under four-point bending using ANSYS software. The FEM predictions were validated against experimental data and benchmarked with the design provisions of ACI 440.1R-15 and CSA S806-12. The model showed strong agreement with experimental results, yielding ultimate load ratios of 0.92–0.94 for steel-reinforced beams and 1.01–1.45 for BFRP-reinforced beams. At higher reinforcement ratios, FEM predictions tended to overestimate the capacity of BFRP-reinforced beams. While steel-reinforced beams exhibited ductile failure, BFRP-reinforced beams failed in a brittle manner. The predicted moment-deflection responses and crack patterns closely matched both experimental observations and code-based predictions. This validated FEM provides a reliable computational framework for assessing and optimizing the design of BFRP-reinforced concrete beams, thereby advancing the application of non-metallic reinforcement in structural engineering. The findings also highlight challenges in accurately modeling concrete crushing and bond behavior within FEM, indicating directions for future refinement.

Abstract

Conventional reinforced concrete structures exposed to aggressive environments show a risky tendency toward performance degradation due to concrete deterioration and reinforcement corrosion. Consequently, the use of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) materials in concrete structures as one of the alternative potential materials for mitigating serious durability issues in structural applications has gained increasing acceptance. The study aims to evaluate the performance and durability of GFRP-reinforced concrete-filled GFRP tube columns under accelerated aging. Three different column specimens, 1) GFRC-F-GFT, 2) GFRC, and 3) C-F-GFT, were immersed under water at 80°C for 12 hrs (wet phase), followed by specimen placement above water at ambient room temperature for 12 hrs (dry phase) in each aging cycle. The behavior and performance of the specimens were experimentally investigated through uniaxial compressive loading. The experimental results were evaluated to develop a strength capacity model that incorporated the environmental exposure effect through the strength reduction factors (C0, h1, and h2). To establish the correlation between accelerated and natural aging, field investigation data under the tropical marine environment and the simplified time-invariant model were utilized to predict structural performance. Based on this study, the GFRC-F-GFT specimen degradation under accelerated wet-dry aging at 290 cycles can reduce axial column capacity up to 50%, which is equivalent to the predicted degradation under a natural tropical marine environment over 50 years.
