One of the issues concerning the construction of reinforced concrete beams using GFRP bars is the detail in the end regions. According to Figure 1a, the main longitudinal bars are terminated straight and additional L-shape GFRP bars are spliced to these bars for end anchorage. Although this detail is adequate to provide for end anchorage it leads to reinforcement congestion in the end regions and additional costs. In order to simplify this design detail this research program will propose and conduct research to substantiate a new design detail consisting of headed reinforcement (see Figure 1b). As such, it is the main objective of this research program to conduct experimental studies that can lead to the development of design recommendations and subsequently to the implementation in the field of this simpler headed reinforcement detail. This research program will consist of two tasks composed of experimental and analytical studies.
