Abstract (2. Language): 
Non metallic reinforcements are emerged as an excellent alternative material to the conventional steel bars in the construction industry in recent times. Among this FRP bars like reinforcements are being used internally in the concrete members instead of steel bars because of its higher tensile strength and durability. Hence, this study mainly focuses on the flexural behaviour of reinforced concrete flanged beams reinforced with Glass Fibre Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) reinforcements under Static Loading. Firstly, the preliminary laboratory tests to assess the basic properties of Normal Strength Concrete (NSC), Steel and sand coated GFRP reinforcements and the results are presented. Secondly, the experimental investigations of the flexural behaviour of flanged beams reinforced with sand coated GFRP reinforcements under static loadings are compared with that of flanged beams reinforced with conventional steel reinforcements. A total of six beams are cast out of which three reinforced with conventional steel reinforcement and remaining three reinforced with sand coated surface treated GFRP Reinforcements, three different reinforcement ratios of 0.82%,1.24% and 2.06% are considered. The static load carrying capacities of conventional steel and sand coated GFRP reinforced flanged beams are then compared. The sand coated GFRP reinforced beams had a good agreement with the conventional steel reinforced beams.
