This study exhibits the bending performance of reinforced concrete (RC) beams with glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) rods. The beams were strengthened with the bottom or side near surface mounted (BNSM or SNSM) methods. Applying BNSM strengthening to the RC beam is difficult in some cases, so the SNSM became essential. Due to the limited research dealing with this type of beam, this study focuses on the effect of internal and NSM reinforcement areas and the NSM position on the response of the beams. Two un-strengthened and six strengthened RC beams were tested in bending. The GFRP RC beams upgraded with SNSM GFRP bars showed higher deflection, energy dissipation, ductility, and ductile failure than those upgraded with BNSM ones. On the contrary, the load-carrying capability and flexural stiffness of GFRP RC beams strengthened with BNSM GFRP rods were slightly higher than those strengthened with SNSM GFRP. Consequently, a parametric investigation relying on the verified finite element (FE) model was executed. This parametric work aimed to add additional data to the literature related to the influences of the internal and NSM reinforcement type and area on the performance of beams with SNSM. According to the FE results, increasing the NSM reinforcement area improved the capacity and stiffness of the upgraded beams regardless of the combination of the internal and NSM reinforcement. The relative axial stiffness between internal and NSM materials significantly impacted the beam performance. Moreover, using GFRP with CFRP or steel with CFRP indicated higher performance than using steel with GFRP, regardless of which one was located as NSM. |
