Bond performance of basalt fiber-reinforced polymer bars in conventional Portland cement concrete: a relative comparison with steel rebar using the hinged beam approach
This paper reports the results of an experimental investigation carried out to evaluate the bond stress behavior of basalt fiber-reinforced polymer (BFRP) bar and steel rebar (SR) in conventional C30-type concrete. The experimental program was conducted on testing 16 hinged beam specimens that were...
