Though reinforced concrete has high strength and is most widely used construction material it suffers from disadvantages like corrosion of steel, susceptibility to chemical and environmental attack. In order to overcome the above deficiencies of reinforced concrete new materials （special concrete composites） have been developed over the past three decades. Glass Fibre Reinforced Polymer （GFRP） is one such material with wide range of applications. Based on the preliminary investigations on GFRP bars, an optimum fiber/resin ratio of 7：3 was arrived. The tensile strength of GFRP bars is comparable to that of the mild steel as per the tests carried out, but the modulus of elasticity is about 25-30 percentage of that of steel bars. This paper deals with the experimental investigations carried out on small slab panels supported on all four edges with effective spans of 0.9 m ~ 0.45 m, which is a part of large research problem undertaken with different ratios of 10ng span to short span with different support conditions. The test results are compared with similar slab panels reinforced with conventional mild steel bars.展开更多
