Summary:The use of steel bars as reinforcement under certain conditions for concrete structures is not preferred, since steel is subject to corrosion. One of the good alternatives to steel bars is Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) rebars. FRP composites are gaining acceptance due to high strength/stiffness to self-weight ratio and corrosion resistance. In this paper, the experimental program consists of four rectangular short columns subjected to eccentric loading. Out of these four rectangular short columns, two columns were reinforced with conventional steel and other two columns with GFRP bars. This paper describes the experimental study conducted to investigate the behavior of short columns subjected to eccentric loading when changing the spacing of transverse reinforcement.
