![]() The study showed that the contribution of steel rebars to FRP rebars in concrete beams improved beam ductility and eliminated the unfavorable brittle failure of the concrete beam. A broad parametric study was conducted to explore the effect of replacing steel reinforcement by different types of FRP bars. The outcomes got from finite element analysis were confirmed against experimental results. Nonlinear material models for the components of the concrete beam were used in the three dimensional finite element models. The study was conducted using the nonlinear finite element program “ANSYS”. Different types of Fiber Reinforced Polymers CFRP and GFRP were used along with steel rebars in the studied concrete beams. ![]() The worskhop was organised under the auspices of RILEM EAC (Educational Activities Committee), with the aim to bring together young researchers in the field of durability of concrete.This paper presents a nonlinear finite element model to investigate the behavior of hybrid Fiber Reinforced Polymers and steel reinforcement. ASR, and acid, sulphate and frost attack and other mechanisms remain important areas of study. In addition, the interaction between different degradation mechanisms requires further understanding. Modelling of chloride penetration and carbonation has attracted a great deal of attention in recent years, however, there is still much debate on several essential aspects such as the chloride threshold level. Corrosion of steel reinforcement is considered to be the most detrimental process responsible for structural deterioration.Many studies are in progress to develop a comprehensive engineering approach for assessment of the initiation and the propagation period of corrosion in both uncracked and cracked concrete. Reinforced concrete structures may prove to be very durable, however, their gradual degradation over time impairing both serviceability and structural safety is still a matter of great practical concern in view of the large economic consequences for assessment, maintenance and repair. Topics discussed in the book are related to durability performance of reinforced concrete, service life modelling, prevention, protection and repair. ![]() This volume contains the proceedings of the 8th International PhD Student Workshop on Service Life and Durability of Reinforced Concrete Structures that was held in Marne-la-Vallée, France, on September the 26th and 27th 2016. ![]()
