The paper describes the properties of the materials, which were tested on a microscopic scale using different experimental techniques such as porosimetry, scanning electron microscopy and petrography. Likewise, characterisation in a macro-scale was carried out to define the mechanical properties of the material (modulus of elasticity, stress-strain curve, ultimate strength and bond). Based on the latter properties, a relatively simple method is presented to estimate the ultimate bearing capacity of beams under bending load. The calculation method has been verified by testing beams and full-scale elements.11enginfo:eu-repo/semantics/restrictedAccessjournal article10.1016/j.conbuildmat.2005.06.012Bearing capacityGFRPPolymer concreteCivil and Structural EngineeringBuilding and ConstructionGeneral Materials Sciencehttp://www.scopus.com/inward/record.url?scp=33745210319&partnerID=8YFLogxK
