  • Abstract:
  • In recent years the use of Glass reinforced polymer bars has increased due to its light weight, increased corrosion resistance of structures, greater service life. In this paper the comparison of steel re-bars and GFRP re-bars is performed by varying its diameter and applying boundary conditions in numerical method, ANSYS Workbench, according to the ASTM code. The results of the ultimate Tensile Strength, Ultimate Tensile Strain, Transverse Shear strength, Bond Strength of both steel re-bar and GFRP re-bar are checked with the Literature review results. It is found that the GFRP re-bars is giving more strength compared to steel re-bar.
