ABSTRACT
Abstract Fibre composite reinforcing rods are being developed in the EUROCRETE programme, along with the associated design guidance. The paper identifies areas in current design codes that require modification. It compares published data on beams in bending and in shear with the prediction of the modified clauses. Finally, it describes two full-scale demonstration projects. Keywords: Bending, cracking, crib walling, fire, footbridge, glass-fibre rods, partial safety factor, shear.
