FRP RC Beams
(OP)
Has anyone used FRP rods as reinforcement in concrete beams. I am trying to obtain some design info.
When was the last time you drove down the highway without seeing a commercial truck hauling goods?

Also, obtain design values from the FRP supplier.
Concrete design (for bending) with FRP is more conservative than with conventional reinforcing. Not all bent shapes are available when using FRP. Development lengths are different. A FRP supplier that I have used in the past is Hughes Brothers, Inc. They have a web site and are fairly helpful, even on the design side of things.
