Experiment on the Bonding Performance of BFRP Bars Reinforced Concrete

Abstract

Through the pull-out test methods, the concrete strength、reinforcement diameter Basalt Fiber Reinforced Plastics Bars、the anchorage length、 stirrup rate and other factors on the bonding properties of the BFRP reinforced concrete is analyzed. The BFRP bars and reinforcing steel bars bonding properties is compared. BFRP reinforced concrete bond failure mode has two types .As the concrete strength increases, the bond strength of the BFRP reinforced concrete increased. With the increase BFRP bars diameter and shear lag relationship, the cohesive force of the BFRP reinforced concrete decrease accordingly. And the failure modes of the shape of the BFRP reinforcement concrete in BFRP bonding properties with a big impact for the specimens’ configuration stirrups on the ductility. When BFRP bars loading under the same load level, the end of the slip is greater than the free end slip.
