Abstract

In this study, the stress transfer mechanism and the joining properties between concrete and alkali resistant glass fiber reinforced cement (GRC) panel which had deformed surface, was investigated by experiment and numerical analysis. The strain compliance, which was definded as a ratio of the strain on GRC panel to that on concrete, was proposed as an index to estimate the joining properties between GRC panel and concrete. This was because when the load increased, several behaviors occured on the joining interface of the specimen could not be understood by loading-displacement relations. Before reaching the maximun load, the damage had occured on the joining interface, but the specimen would not be broken suddenly. For explaining the behavior on the joining interface, the model, stress transfer element was considered to be effectual.
