An experimental program involving the testing of concrete beams prestressed with Basalt Fibre Reinforced (BFRP) Bars. Ultimate capacities and deflections were measured and compared with theoretical estimates. Beams were manufactured and subjected to four-point loading tests. The experimental work considered the use of Self-compacting concrete (SCC) and how material properties of the concrete affected the behaviour of the beams under loading. Analysis was carried out using a design codes and first principles with comparisons made with experimental results, predominantly focusing on vertical deflections. The flexural test results and analytical predictions showed very good agreement in terms of deflection, cracking moment and ultimate moment.

Abstract
An experimental program involving the testing of concrete beams prestressed with Basalt Fibre Reinforced (BFRP) Bars. Ultimate capacities and deflections were measured and compared with theoretical estimates. Beams were manufactured and subjected to four-point loading tests. The experimental work considered the use of Self-compacting concrete (SCC) and how material properties of the concrete affected the behaviour of the beams under loading. Analysis was carried out using a design codes and first principles with comparisons made with experimental results, predominantly focusing on vertical deflections. The flexural test results and analytical predictions showed very good agreement in terms of deflection, cracking moment and ultimate moment.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
