- Resumen
In this work, long-term behaviour of FRP RC beams has been investigated both analytically and experimentally to further extend the knowledge in this particular research domain. In this respect, a new methodology to determine the long-term deflections due to creep and shrinkage is presented. Based on multiplicative coefficients, the methodology is straightforward and simple, and therefore suitable to be used in design. In addition, an experimental campaign on two series of GFRP RC beams subject to long-term loading has been performed. Different reinforcement ratios, concrete strengths and sustained load levels have been considered. For comparison purposes steel reinforcement has also been used. The experimental long-term results have been reported and discussed. Furthermore they have been compared to predictions using the most representative procedures, as well as, the proposed methodology presented in this work.
