Abstract: This paper presents an experimental study on the flexural behavior and ultimate capacity of reinforced concrete (RC) one-way slabs reinforced with FRP bars. Flexural tests were performed on four concrete one-way slab specimens that were loaded until failure. The main parameters in the conducted experiment were the reinforcement type (Basalt FRP bars, and Glass FRP bars), and the reinforcement ratio (1.4 ï² fb and 2.8 ï² fb).The one-way slabs' mid-span deflection and compressive strain were measured and recorded. The test results showed that the increase in the reinforcement ratio improved the flexural capacity of the one-way slabs significantly. Moreover, the oneway slabs with GFRP bars as reinforcement recorded slightly higher flexural capacity than that of BFRP bars as reinforcement. The test results obviously indicated that both Basalt FRP and Glass FRP bars can be used as an alternative construction material.

Abstract: This paper proposes a solution for the extension of the promenade and entertainment area, the green arrangement of the lower Danube river bank in Galati. For the extension of the seafront width with cycle and roller tracks, alternating with paths for the promenade and creating areas for recreation activities with the maintenance of the existing green spaces, the solution of floating structures was chosen. An autonomous module that has been drawn and modeled 3D in Punch Home Design in various design forms, so as to allow it to be assembled in various positions and interconnect the modules between them. Hydrodynamic calculations of the module positioned differently from the shore were made in XFlow Module (SolidWorks). The study reveals the two-fold role of the structures: extension of the promenade green areas and control of the currents that influence the erosion phenomenon (protection) the left bank of the Danube and the natural dredging of the river's bottom The results obtained can
