Abstract

Test methods for reinforcing steel is not suitable for fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) rebars because it can cause destruction of the edge zones of the samples. The polymer matrix and fibers are not able to resist compression across the fibers. Existing test methods for FRP rebars do not contain information about the equipment and composition of the adhesive composition. The purpose of the study is to clarify the adhesive composition and design of the FRP specimen anchor. Methods. There were experimental studies of fiberglass reinforcement polymer rebars samples carried out. The following factors varied: the proportion of the components of the adhesive composition; the area of the adhesive contact of the FRP specimen anchor. Results and Discussion. The proportion of epoxy glue and quartz sand providing the test of automatic transmission is determined. The influence of the thread on the inner surface of the FRP specimen anchor on the adhesive strength in the contact zone «adhesive composition-steel» is estimated. A universal three-dimensional model of the centering plug for manufacturing using additive technologies has been developed. Conclusions. The results of the investigation can be used to upgrade the FRP rebars test methods.
