The non-metallic glass fiber reinforced GFRP bars has gained worldwide acceptance recently and are now being used in several applications in reinforced concrete structures such as sea wall, bridges, foundation, marine structure, pavements, barriers, and piles (1–3). The major impetus for its usage in Saudi Arabia emerged from the strategic decision by Saudi Aramco to make it mandatory for several non-structural applications such as slab-on-grade, stormwater channels, bulkheads, and pipe supports. The motivation was to combat the high cost of repair, rehabilitation, and reconstruction of deteriorated steel-reinforced concrete structures in a short span of time (4).
