This study reports on the results of an experimental investigation into the flexural behaviour of a hybrid pultruded GFRP reinforced concrete short beam. The external pultruded GFRP composites not only protect the concrete core from chemical attacks in the marine environment but also serve as structural enhancements to the hybrid system. Conversely, the concrete core provides the system with bulk size and structural stability. The experimental results, including the load-displacement curves and failure modes, are compared for the reinforced beams with or without the external GFRP reinforcements. The loading capacity shows in increase of 150 % when compared to the normal reinforced short beams.
