Abstract:

The purpose of this study is to investigate the influence of temperature and heating/cooling modes (monotonous heating, cycle heating, monotonous heating⁃natural cooling, and monotonous heating⁃rapid cooling) on the bond performance between glass fiber reinforcement polymer (GFRP) bars and concrete. Totally 90 GFRP bars with a diameter of 10 mm and the concrete pull⁃out specimens with two bonded lengths were subjected to the tests at a temperature ranging from 20 to 220 ºC. Totally 54 concrete cubic specimens were used to measure their ultimate compressive and tensile strength under the same conditions. The results indicated that the bond performance between the GFRP bars and concrete tended to deteriorate seriously with an increase in temperature under the two heating modes. The influence of monotonous heating on the degradation of bond strength was more significant compared to cyclic heating at a temperature below 120 ºC. When the temperature exceeded 120 ºC, the effect of heating mode on the attenuation of bond performance decreased. Under the two cooling modes, the bond performance between the GFRP bars and concrete seemed not to degrade significantly with an increase in temperature during the monotone heating⁃natural cooling process, whereas there was an evident degradation under the monotonic heating⁃rapid cooling process.
