PROBABILISTIC SAFETY EVALUATION OF GEOPOLYMER CONCRETE ONE WAY SLABS REINFORCED WITH GFRP REBARS

  • Abstract:
  • The unpredictability of factors affecting the flexural strength of structural elements is taken into consideration by reliability analysis. The development of structural dependability techniques offers a more stable foundation for the design codes to grow. The dependability analysis of the flexural behaviour of GFRP-GPC (Glass Fibre Reinforced polymer-Geo polymer Concrete) one way slabs is the main emphasis of this study. The uncertainties associated with modelling and statistics are part of the analysis. Models to describe variation in the existing structural materials and the structural loading are drawn from the literature. The dependability index is used to quantify structural reliability. For the flexural limit states, the changes in the reliability index with design loads are examined. The reliability has been evaluated using simulation and first-order reliability methods. It is also examined how the sectional dimensions and reinforcement ratio affect the dependability index. The results of this work bring to light the many variables affecting the reliability of GPC one way slabs reinforced with GFRP reinforcements and the need for continuing research to better describe these variables.
