A New Analytical Model for Deflection of Concrete Beams Reinforced by BFRP Bars and Steel Fibres under Cyclic Loading

Basalt-fiber-reinforced plastic-bars-reinforced concrete beams (i.e., BFRP-RC beams) usually possess significant deformations compared to reinforced concrete beams due to the FRP bars having a lower Young’s modulus. This paper investigates the effects of adding steel fibers into BFRP-RC beams to red...
