Enhancing the Punching Shear Capacity of Two-way Concrete Slab Reinforced with GFRP Bars without Vertical Hook Shear Reinforcement
Emmanuel K. Banini, Charles K. Kankam, Vincent K. Akortia & Eugene Akomeah · Journal of Engineering Research and Reports · 2026
The pursuit of durable, ductile concrete has intensified because steel reinforcement suffers corrosion and durability problems. Glass fiber–reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars offer high strength-to-weight, corrosion resistance, and nonmagnetic properties, yet their low elastic modulu...
