Abstract

This paper proposed the regression model to evaluate the efficiency of Glass Fibre Reinforced Polymer
(GFRP) laminates in a high strength concrete beams. In order to assess the efficiency of GFRP laminates a total of ten
beams were cast, strengthened and tested. Out of ten beams four beams were strengthened in flexure with Chopped
Strand Mat Glass Fibre Reinforced Polymer (CSMGFRP) and four beams were strengthened with Uni-Directional Cloth
Glass Fibre Reinforced Polymer (UDCGFRP) of 3mm and 5mm thicknesses and remaining two beams served as control
beams. All the test specimens were tested under two-point loading. The study parameters are the percentage of steel
reinforcement ratio, GFRP laminate material and their thicknesses. The results show that the prediction of the proposed
regression model agreed well with the experimental test database.
