Experimental Study on the Behaviore of Anchorage for Externally Prestressed CFRP Laminate

외부긴장 보강을 위한 CFRP 판의 정착부 거동 실험

FRP strengthening system that bonds FRP sheet or laminate underneath structure has been used popularly thesedays. The failure of this bonding system occurs mainly at the interface of bonded surface abruptly. So it is difficult to expect the failure and FRP can't show its full material capacity that makes it uneconomically. By that reason, KICT proposed a system to install FRP aminate to structure for strengthening not by bondging but by unbonding. It is to install both ends of FRP laminate by anchoring underneath structure without bonding. Then, the failure is not an interfacial problem any more, it is governed by mechanical anchoring. This paper includes an experimental study about anchoring system for prestressing CFRP laminate.
