Abstract
This study offers the flexural performance of HSC beams of 60 MPa compressive strength with
locally manufactured hybrid-GFRP (HGFRP) bars with steel wires in experimental and analytical
manners. Both investigations were done to explore the influence of using HGFRP bars with
various reinforcement ratios for these beams as a new ductile hybrid reinforcement. So, six beams
of dimension 150X300X1700 mm were tested in the National Building Research Center-Cairo,
Egypt till failure. The main variables were the reinforcement types (steel, GFRP, Hybrid GFRP).
The ultimate loads, mid-span deflections, and reinforcement bars strains of the tested beams were
documented. Nonlinear analysis was assembled to validate the flexural performance of beams
using ANSYS program, in terms of ultimate load, stains, crack pattern and load deflection curves.
Numerical investigations good agreement with experimental ones in terms of ultimate loads and
deflections, cracking patterns, and the behavior of load deflection.
