Reinforcement characteristics of prestressed concrete beams with fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) tendons
The basic advantages of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) reinforcement are reviewed. FRP tendons exhibit linear elastic response to rupture without yielding and thus failure is expected to be brittle. Structural beahaviour of beams prestressed with FRP tendons is different from that of beams with tra...
