This paper presents the results of experimental and analytical
studies that compare the flexural behavior of spun concrete
poles with three types of reinforcement: carbon-fiberreinforced
polymer (CFRP), glass-fiber-reinforced polymer
(GFRP), and conventional prestressing steel. The flexural
behavior of the poles was evaluated in terms of cracking
moment, ultimate moment capacity, and load-deflection
data. A cost analysis of the different types of reinforcement
was also performed.
