Summary:This paper aims to investigate the shear failure mechanisms in beams reinforced with longitudinal and transverse glass fibre reinforced polymer bars. It is a part of comprehensive research on shear in concrete beams reinforced with steel and GFRP bars. The experimental program is composed of six real-scale single-span, simply-supported T-cross section concrete beams. The beams varied mainly with respect to the longitudinal reinforcement ratio (2.91% and 3.69%), bar diameter (25mm and 28mm, respectively) and transverse reinforcement ratio (0.16% and 0,33%). The paper presents test results, cracking patterns, failure modes and an analysis of the influence of variable parameters on the shear behaviour of elements.
