Pullout Failure

This paper presents the results of a series of pullout tests that were performed on Glass-fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars embedded in concrete, while providing a detailed report on the influence of various variables that impinge upon bond behavior, such as the surface characteristics and diameter of the bars, concrete strength, as well as the confined effect of stirrups. The Bertero-Popov-Eligehausen (BPE) and Cosenza-Manfredi-Realfonzo (CMR) models analyzed the bond stress (τ)–slip (s) relationship between GFRP bar and stirrups-confined concrete. The tests results indicate that when the bond failure interface only occurs on the surface of a GFRP bar, the bond strength is not dependent upon the concrete strength. Moreover, the results indicate that in comparison to specimens without stirrups, their stirrup-containing counterparts are more prone to pullout failure with greater ductility and higher bond strength and corresponding slip. The BPE and CMR models are able to investigate the τ-s relationship between GFRP bars and the stirrups-confined concrete with accuracy. With the experimental data, the specific parameters in the models classified by surface characteristics have been suggested.

AbstractThe article describes an experimental study on the bond–slip performance between the pultruded glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) tube and the nano-CaCO3 concrete. Taking the nano-CaCO3 concrete strength and GFRP tube thickness as primary parameters, nine specimens were designed and tested to study the influence of these parameters on the bond strength of the specimens. Besides, three specimens filled with the ordinary concrete were also tested by using the push-out tests to make comparisons with the bond performance of the specimens filled with nano-CaCO3 concrete. A total of four push-out tests were conducted on each specimen. The experimental results indicate that there are two types of axial load–slip curves for each specimen in four push-out tests. Moreover, comparison of the results of the push-out tests in the same direction shows that the bond failure load of the specimen decreases with the increase in the number of push-out tests. Based on the analysis of the test results, it is shown that the bond performance between the GFRP tube and the nano-CaCO3 concrete is better than that between the GFRP tube and the ordinary concrete. Furthermore, as the nano-CaCO3 concrete strength increases, the bond strength of the specimens decreases, indicating that the concrete strength has a negative effect on the bond strength. When the nano-CaCO3 concrete strength is relatively smaller (C20), the bond strength of the specimens decreases with the increase in the thickness of the GFRP tube. However, when the nano-CaCO3 concrete strength is relatively larger (C30 and C40), the bond strength of the specimens increases as the thickness of the GFRP tube increases.

Strength Retention

FRP bars and steel strands are widely used in civil engineering. In this study, three different types of high-strength reinforcement materials, carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) bar, glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) bar, and steel strand, were investigated for their interfacial bond performance with concrete. A total of 90 sets of specimens were conducted to analyze the effects of various parameters such as the diameter of reinforcement, bond length, the grade of concrete and stirrup on the bond strength and residual bond strength. The results show that CFRP bars possess a higher bond strength retention rate than steel bars in the residual section. In addition, with the increase in bond length and diameter of the CFRP bar, the residual bond strength decreases, and the bond strength retention rate decreases. Furthermore, the bond strength retention rate of GFRP bars was found to be higher than that of CFRP bars. With the increase in grade of concrete, the bond strength and residual bond strength between GFRP bars and concrete increases, but the bond strength retention rate decreases. With an increase in bond length and diameter of the GFRP bar, the bond strength starts to decrease. Further, stirrup can also increase the bond strength and reduce the slip at the free end of GFRP bars. Moreover, the bond strength retention rate of the steel strand was found to be lower than CFRP and GFRP bar.

Here we explored the chemical durability of glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars under load. Three batches of ribbed GFRP bar specimens were fabricated using binder matrices: ED-22+isomethyltetrahydrophthalic anhydride (iso-MTGFA), ED-22+Ethal-450 and NPPN-631+ iso-MTGFA. As the reinforcing filler, we used an EC17 glass roving (for all the specimen batches). The specimens of each batch were aged in a 1 N alkaline NaOH solution at 60 °C for 2000 hrs. The ageing was performed under a 300 MPa load (30% of the failure stress). The tensile strength of the specimens from each batch following ageing was measured. The tensile test results demonstrated that that the strength loss of the specimens following chemical ageing was 58.9% for batch 1 based on ED-22+iso-MTGFA, 6.6% for batch 2 based on ED-22+Ethal-450, and 33.6% for batch 3 based on NPPN-631 + iso-MTGFA. The specimens of batch 2 based on ED-22+Ethal-450 exhibited the greatest resistance to the NaOH alkaline solution (a strength loss of 6.6%).

Using magnesium potassium phosphate cement (MPC) and fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) bar to produce reinforced concrete can overcome the durability problems facing conventional steel reinforced PC concrete. In addition, FRP bar reinforced MPC concrete can also mitigate the CO2 emission issues caused by Portland cement (PC) production and the shortage of natural resources such as virgin aggregates and freshwater. This paper, therefore, is aimed at investigating the bond behavior of the FRP bars in MPC seawater concrete. The direct pullout tests were conducted with a steel bar, BFRP bar, and GFRP bar embedded into different concretes. The effects of reinforcing bars, type of concrete and mixing water on the bond behavior of FRP and steel bars were investigated and discussed. The results showed that the MPC concrete increases the bond strength of BFRP and GFRP bars by 51.06% and 24.42%, respectively, compared with that in PC concrete. Using seawater in MPC concrete can enhance the bond strength of GFRP bar by 13.75%. The damage interface of the FRP bar -MPC is more severe than that of PC with a complete rupture of the FRP ribs and peeling-off of the resin compared to that in steel reinforced MPC specimens. Moreover, the bond stress-slip models were developed to describe the bond behavior of MPC-FRP specimen, and the analytical results match well with the experimental data. In conclusion, the FRP bars showed better bond behavior in the MPC seawater concrete than that in the PC counterparts.

Direct pull-out tests were performed to evaluate the bond performance of glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) reinforcing bars in cement mortar. Specimens with different bar diameters and different grouted lengths (i.e., 5d, 10d and 15d, d is the diameter of bars) are prepared for the pull-out tests. For comparison, specimens with plain aluminium alloy bars (AAB) were tested as well. The result shows that the average bond stress between plain aluminium alloy bars and cement is much smaller than that between the deformed GFRP bars and cement; thin GFRP bars tended to have larger average bond stress; the shorter the grouted length, the smaller the maximum average bond stress. Only part of grouted length undertakes the bond stress and the length depends on the shear modulus of GFRP and the surrounding material.

Alkali Activated

Alkali-activated materials (AAMs) are considered an eco-friendly alternative to ordinary Portland cement (OPC) for mitigating greenhouse-gas emissions and enabling efficient waste recycling. In this paper, an innovative seawater sea-sand concrete (SWSSC), that is, seawater sea-sand alkali-activated concrete (SWSSAAC), was developed using AAMs instead of OPC to explore the application of marine resources and to improve the durability of conventional SWSSC structures. Then, three types of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) bars, that is, basalt-FRP, glass-FRP, and carbon-FRP bars, were selected to investigate their bond behavior with SWSSAAC at different alkaline dosages (3%, 4%, and 6% Na2O contents). The experimental results manifested that the utilization of the alkali-activated binders can increase the splitting tensile strength ( ft) of the concrete due to the denser microstructures of AAMs than OPC pastes. This improved characteristic was helpful in enhancing the bond performance of FRP bars, especially the slope of bond-slip curves in the ascending section (i.e., bond stiffness). Approximately three times enhancement in terms of the initial bond rigidity was achieved with SWSSAAC compared to SWSSC at the same concrete strength. Furthermore, compared with the BFRP and GFRP bars, the specimens reinforced with the CFRP bars experienced higher bond strength and bond rigidity due to their relatively high tensile strength and elastic modulus. Additionally, significant improvements in initial bond stiffness and bond strength were also observed as the alkaline contents (i.e., concrete strength) of the SWSSAAC were aggrandized, demonstrating the integration of the FRP bars and SWSSAAC is achievable, which contributes to an innovative channel for the development of SWSSC pavements or structures.

Cycling Condition

The objective of this research work is to determine the effect of wet-dry cycling on bond behavior of historic masonry structures strengthened by Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP). Shear bond testing was carried out through total 36 specimens exposed to dry, full moisture or wet-dry cycling conditions.  The selected samples were then tested at 0, 30, 60 and 90 days. Post-ageing test was also preceded on total sixty masonry prisms exposed to dry, full moisture or wet-dry cycling conditions. The compressive strengths of selected samples were then tested at 0, 40, 70 and 100 days. The test results showed an obvious decrease of the bond strength between GFRP sheets and bricks in the wet-dry cycling condition. For masonry prisms with or without GFRP strengthening, in the first 40 days, the compressive strength of GFRP bonded prism decreased quickly to the value near that of prism without GFRP. After 40 days the rate of decrease became slow, which means that, sheets retrofitted outside the masonry prisms helped to improve their durability by reducing water permeation.
