The reported work aims at the development of recommendations for the flexural design of over-reinforced concrete beams, reinforced with fibre reinforced polymer reinforcement. The flexural structural reliability and probability of concrete crushing are determined for a number of beam configurations. The results indicate that the effect of various design parameters and material partial safety factors (γm) on the flexural behaviour of the beams is influenced by the type of failure assumed at the design stage. The outcome of this work is the recommendation of appropriate short-term γFRP in conjunction with certain design provisions for the flexural design of concrete beams reinforced with FRP reinforcement.
