FRP bars have been adopted as internal reinforcement of concrete slabs, beams and columns increasing their service life in unfavourable conditions. FRP bars are more corrosion resistant than steel bars and shows good resistance to fatigue loads. The corbel is generally built monolithically with the column or wall. Here GFRP bars are used as the reinforcement in the corbel. The preliminary test of cement and aggregates were done. Compressive strength of concrete cube specimens was measured. Corbels projecting from the faces of reinforced concrete columns are extensively used in precast concrete construction to support the primary beam and girders. Recently, high strength concrete has been increasing used in practice. However high strength concrete is considered to be a relatively brittle material and has low ductility. The tensile strength of GFRP bar is determined. In this project the study of the behaviour of RC corbels reinforced with GFRP bars are to be done and compare it with the control specimen.
