Abstract
The paper analyzes experimental studies examining the flexuraland shear analysis of the beams reinforced with GFRP bars. Atesting program consisted of two beams reinforced with longitudinalprestressed GFRP tendons, two beams reinforced withlongitudinal GFRP bars and two beams reinforced with longitudinalsteel reinforcement and shear reinforcement of GFRP bars.The experimental flexural and shear strength of concrete beamswere compared with theoretical strength calculated according toa number of design recommendations, and the significance ofprestressing for deflection and cracking was analyzed.
