Tension Stiffening in GFRP RC Beams
CONCLUSIONS
Behaviour of GFRP RC beams:Deflection of GFRP RC is mainly caused by flexural curvatures.
Shear-induced deflections may not be negligible for low reinforcement ratios and deep-penetrating wide cracks.
The response of the compressive concrete zone requires further consideration due to the increased localised effect of cracks.
GFRP RC show good bond.
CSA predicts the maximum rebar strain at a crack, underestimatesthe extreme-fibre concrete strain, and when shear induced deformations are sizeable may not provide an upper-bound deflection.

Tension Stiffening in GFRP RC Beams
CONCLUSIONS
Tension Stiffening of GFRP RC beams:Contrary to steel RC, the amount of GFRP reinforcement may have negligible effect on tension stiffening in the stabilised cracking phase
(ρ>0.4%, or ρeff>1.25%)
An average Eeff (1.10 E) offers a reasonable approximation for the whole stabilised cracking phase.
Tension stiffening in GFRP is lower than steel RC, which is due to the high levels of rebar strain involved.
An initial tension stiffening relationship is proposed but needs to be expressed more fundamentally.
