The GFRP Reinforced Concrete Design Handbook is a vital reference for professionals interested in the use of non-metallic GFRP reinforcement for concrete structures. It is meant to provide valuable insight to structural engineers on understanding and utilizing the provisions of “Building Code Requirements for Structural Concrete Reinforced with Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) Bars” (ACI CODE 440.11).

The GFRP Reinforced Concrete Design Handbook provides several engineering design examples for various concrete members reinforced with GFRP bars including beams, one-way slabs, two-way slabs, and slender columns. The examples help illustrate the provisions of ACI CODE 440.11 as they pertain to serviceability, flexural strength, shear strength, torsional strength, axial strength, stability, and structural analysis. Many of the examples are based on a fictious four-story GFRP reinforced concrete building to illustrate how the design provisions work together in a full building design. These examples are also closely related to the example problems presented in the ACI Reinforced Concrete Design Handbook (ACI MNL-17) to allow for comparison to the steel reinforced concrete members presented in MNL-17. Each example starts with a brief problem statement and then presents a full set of design calculations that reference the appropriate provisions in ACI CODE 440.11 (red highlighted text next to equations) to arrive at a solution. Detailed explanations of the design calculations are provided throughout.

In addition to the example problems, this handbook provides general information and guidance about the appropriate use of GFRP reinforcement, its material and durability characteristics, typical applications, and considerations for fire resistance. It also highlights key differences between designing GFRP reinforced concrete versus traditional steel reinforced concrete.

The appendix to this handbook provides additional detailed information from FRP bar manufactures on commercially available products and solutions.
