Finite Element Analysis of the Flexural Performance of Hybrid (Steel-BFRP) RC Beams under Repeated Loading: Verification and Parametric Investigation
The corrosion of steel bars in reinforced concrete structures subjected to harsh environments remains a significant challenge. Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites have been investigated as potential alternatives to conventional steel reinforcement. While basalt fiber-reinforced polymer (BFRP) bars exhibit high te...
