Abstract

This research focuses on a parametric study of ground granulated blast furnace slag-based reinforced cement concrete using fibre reinforced polymer bars. The major variables are fine aggregates and reinforcement bars. Fine aggregates like river sand and manufactured sand (M-sand) were used with reinforcement bars such as steel, hybrid FRP, and GFRP bars. The replacement of cement by GGBS is constant. The optimum percentage of GGBS is 30 % for all 12 beams. Limited researches are available on reinforced concrete (RC) beams using fibre reinforced polymer bars. Nonlinear finite element analysis is carried out using finite element software ANSYS. The load-carrying capacity of the conventional RC beam using M-sand is 13.33 % higher than the beam using river sand. The ultimate load of B6 (M-sand with hybrid FRP beam) is 4.12 % and 24.09 % higher than the B2 (M-sand with steel reinforcement) and B10 (M-sand with GFRP beam). The strain value of concrete reaches a maximum in B12 (M-sand with 3-GFRP-bottom bars) about 0.0134 and strain in steel reaches 0.089 for beam B10 (M-sand with GFRP beam). This study finds that the effects of M-sand and FRP bars will influence the strength of GGBS based RC beams.
