Abstract :
Reinforced Cement Concrete RCC structures are usually reinforced with steel bars which are subjected to corrosion at critical temperatures and atmospheric conditions. Also the cost of steel reinforcement plays a significant role in any RCC construction. The rising prices of steel and their unavailability throughout the year have brought the contractors and engineers into a great trouble. The RCC structures can also be reinforced with other materials such as fibers specifically Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer and Carbon Reinforced Fiber Polymer GFRP . This deals with the study of RCC beams when reinforced with the Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer GFRP as a replacement of steel reinforcement and studying the behavior of beam under flexure. N. N.
