Pull-out Behavior of Cfrp Ground Anchors with Two-strap Ends
نویسندگان
چکیده
Pull-out experiments were performed on three carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) ground anchors simulating their applications in different rock types which provided different confinement levels. The CFRP tendons comprised, on the ground side, a prefabricated conical anchor body of high-strength grout in which two CFRP straps were embedded. The anchors reached an average load-bearing capacity of 1384 kN with final failure occurring in the CFRP straps. Grout failure was successfully prevented by an adequate grout selection and installation of CFRP confinement rings to balance spreading forces at the strap ends. The confinement level provided by the surrounding media influenced the activation of the CFRP components in the anchor body by influencing the friction at the CFRP/grout interfaces.

Pull-out Behavior of Cfrp Single-strap Ground Anchors
Pull-out experiments were performed on four carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) ground anchors simulating their applications in rock and soil. The CFRP tendons used in these anchors comprise a single-strap end on both the ground and air sides. On the ground side, the single-strap end is embedded in a cylinder of high-strength grout which fits into the borehole. In rock applications, the grou...
متن کاملFailure assessment of steel/CFRP double strap joints
In the current study, the failure behavior of retrofitted steel structures was studied experimentally and theoretically with steel/CFRP double strap joints (DSJs) under quasi-static tensile loading. A series of DSJs with different bonding lengths are also considered and examined to experimentally assess the effective bond length. To predict the failure load values of the tested specimens, a new...
