摘要：The purpose of this study was to understand the deflection behavior of reinforced concrete beams using GFRP bar as flexural reinforcement and GFRP sheet as shear reinforcement. The tested beams with dimensions of span length were 3000 mm, width of 150 mm and height of 250 mm of concrete quality f'c.25 MPa. The beams use GFRP bar 3D13 as flexural reinforcement and U-wrap GFRP sheet 50 mm wide with a distance of 100 mm. U-wrap GFRP sheet shear reinforcement is only installed in shear spans. The beam is loaded with two concentrated loads monotonically until it collapses. The test results show that the loaddeflection relationship of GFRP bar reinforced concrete beams with external shear reinforcement of U-wrap GFRP sheet shows two linear curve patterns. The results of the analysis show that the ACI-440.1R-06 approximation equation can be used to accurately predict the deflection in the middle of the GFRP bar reinforced concrete beam with external shear reinforcement from U-wrap GFRP sheet.
