GFRP 2

[davis42]

hey

Can someone tell me what percentage of the tensile strength of GFRP rods I should use when designing for service loading? Is 25% correct or can I use a higher percentage?

Thanks in Advance.

ACI can give you some direction on this.
See ACI 440 and consult manufacturer for actual test values for their product.
