Abstract: This paper presents the effect of different types of mixed water on stress strain behavior of reinforced concrete beams with Glass Fiber bars; three flexural reinforced concrete beams were tested. They were divided into three groups where the fresh water, sea water and mixed water are used in concrete mixing and curing. From decades ago they found that the concrete with steel is an ideal material for construction especially that they have the same values of thermal expansion coefficient and bond. But there have been some disadvantages for steel reinforcement such as corrosion which cause fall the concrete cover, which cost a lot at the maintenance. Different kinds of fibers have been discovered Glass, Carbon, Armid, and Basalt. Although the advantages of fibers reinforcement polymer has been recognized as, light weight, high tensile strength, excellent corrosion resistance. In order to improve the elastic modules to enhance the crack width and deflection through mixing different types of fiber material, Such as carbon and glass there for stress-strain characterized can be changed this method is effective but costly.
