Bond Strength of Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer Bars

GFRP 복합재료 보강근의 부착강도 평가

Glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars gain increasingly more attention in the civil engineering community. GFRP reinforcement for concrete does not have the same shape as steel reinforcement. Therefore, the bond performance of FRP bars, unlike that of steel, is dependent on their design, manufacture and mechanical properties. It was tested in order to examine the bond behavior of GFRP bars under different compressive strength of concrete. Test results showed that the bond strength of GFRP increased with the compressive strength of concrete.
