Such differences arise from the interaction mechanism between FRP reinforcement bars and concrete element. Physical and mechanical properties of FRP depend mainly on the type of fibers and resins used to form the composite. FRP is a composite made of reinforcement imbedded in a plastic (polymer) matrix. Although there are many researchers who covered different subjects of concrete reinforced with GFRP-bars, there are few researchers which are concerned with concrete solid plates reinforced using GFRP-bars.

One of the preferable solutions of repair is to use fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) rebar in concrete. Abstract: Concrete structures that deteriorate throughout the world have become a major problem, so the cost of repair and rehabilitation due to these deteriorate has become a major concern to engineers and researchers.
