A New Novel Model Proposal For Bond-Slip Behavior Between Angular CFRP Fan Type Anchoraged CFRP Strip and Concrete Surface

Abstract

In the reinforced concrete, masonry or steel structures should be strengthened or repaired. Carbon fiber reinforced polymers (CFRP) have been widely used for the last 20 years for repairing and strengthening of inadequate earthquake performance of the structures. One of the most important developed design criteria in the retrofit and strengthening details are using CFRP to delay the debonding of the CFRP reinforcement elements. For this reason, the uses of anchors in the reinforcement details developed by using CFRP and also researches on this subject have increased substantially. In the literature, research on bond-slip models developed for fan type CFRP anchors and anchored CFRP strips used in reinforcement details are limited in comparison to non-anchored strips. However, in studies on this subject, anchors are placed at 90o to the axial tensile force applied to the CFRP strips. Axial force-bearing strength and bond-slip models of CFRP strips with the different anchored angle under axial tensile strengths have not been found in the literature. For this reason, an experimental study was carried out and 28 specimens of angled anchored CFRP strip test specimen, which was bonded to the concrete surface, was tested under the influence of axial tensile force with an experimental setup designed by the authors. The variables studied in the experimental study are the CFRP strip width and the fan type CFRP anchor angle placed on the CFRP strip. As a result of the experimental study, an equation was proposed for calculating the bearing strength values of angled anchored CFRP strips and a new proposal for the bond-slip model was developed.
