USAGE OF GLASS FIBER REBAR AS A RETROFITTING MATERIAL IN CONCRETE STRUCTURES

Abstract

Retrofitting Glass fiber rebar is a high Value-added development in construction. The super foundation suppliers, for example, Government and government subsidized, Now have recognized the way that Glass fiber rebar is a practical development material that has the maximum capacity to increase the life of public structures where erosion can have an immense monetary and natural effect. With the ascent of erosion because of a worldwide temperature alteration, the structures get weakening dissimilar to surrenders, may not surface toward the start of the administration life of a structure, however are somewhat time-reliant therefore harm of structure happens. Retrofitting is any change made to a current structure to lessen or reduce the chance of harm to that structure from flooding, disintegration, high breezes, quakes. Fiber glass support material has picked up significant popularity. In future, these  serious composite materials would show their qualities and properties all the more evidently. In the current investigation compressive strength and flexural strength of M25 grade is resolved at first the retrofitting is made for a similar beams with the Glass fiber rebar the compressive strength is estimated again and the examination made with M30 grade retrofitted bar part.
