Abstract
Abstract This study is concerned with the fatigue performance of adhesively bonded anchorage for carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) tendons subjected to cyclic loading. Series of monotonous and cyclic experiments under different stress amplitudes and loading frequencies were carried out in order to investigate the mechanical performance of bonded anchorage systems for CFRP tendons and to study the influence of cyclic loading on the anchoring performance. The fatigue damage and the relationships between damage, loading frequency and interfacial temperature rise of anchorage systems were analyzed. The results show that cyclic tension-tension loading is instrumental in enhancing the synergistic interaction between the anchorage components and it also stabilizes the entire anchorage system performance provided that the stress amplitude is kept lower than 10% of the ultimate tensile capacity of the anchorage systems and the maximum stress is less than 50% of the ultimate capacity of the anchorage system. The loading frequency influences significantly the temperature variation in the anchorage system. A high loading frequency may result in a sharp temperature rise at the early-stage and mid-stage of cyclic tension-tension loading, followed by a rather stable late stage. This phenomenon of temperature rise during fatigue tests may indicate the extent of fatigue damage in the anchorage system.
