A probabilistic model for the residual strength of bent thermoplastic GFRP rebars

Key Points

• Residual strength estimates are critical for assessing the safety of thermoplastic GFRP rebars, especially in construction materials.
• The model incorporates variables that account for manufacturing variances and environmental factors impacting performance.
• Employing a probabilistic approach allows for more reliable predictions of rebar longevity under various conditions.
• This model emphasizes the need for robust assessment tools in designing long-lasting composite materials.
