Glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) reinforcements are taken as an alternative solution for the deterioration of civil infrastructures. GFRP bars have received increasing attention due to low cost compared to carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) bars. Bond characteristic of GFRP bars in concrete...
