Bending moments redistribution in two‐span reinforced concrete beams reinforced with FRP bars based on collected data research.

This article presents a review of state of the art on nonmetallic reinforcement in terms of bending moment redistribution in double‐span elements. The authors present a summary of existing research programs focused on moment redistribution in FRP (Fiber Reinforced Polymer) reinforced concrete (RC). On this basis authors created a database of concrete elements with all the important construction properties of the elements. Gathered data are presented with quantitative analysis of several variables effecting moment redistribution in published articles. In the following publication authors show a research review which includes an analysis of the influence of variable parameters from the point of view of the database, concerning: degrees of longitudinal reinforcement, ratio between degrees of reinforcement in span and over the support, type of reinforcement (FRP/steel/hybrid), concrete class and transverse reinforcement.
