Static analysis of adhesively bonded anchorages for CFRP tendons
نویسندگان
چکیده
In pre-stressed concrete structures, consideration is being given to replacing the steel tendons with CFRP rods. One of the challenges associated with this is to develop a suitable anchorage for the CFRP rods. A bonded anchorage was investigated, where the CFRP is potted in a steel tube using epoxy adhesive. Experimental static tests of different configurations were undertaken with failure occurring in the bond. A set of numerical simulations were carried out with different adhesive material models to investigate the static response of the bonded anchorage and its failure mechanism. The adhesive was modelled with linear elastic properties, von Mises plasticity, Drucker-Prager plasticity and progressive damage. A cohesive zone model with progressive damage in the bonded joint was found to be in reasonable agreement with the experimentally recorded data. Also, an analytical formulation was developed (and validated) in order to provide an approximate distribution of shear stress in the bonded joint for circular anchors for adhesives with mainly elastic behaviour.

In this study, shear and peel stress distributions in the viscoelastic adhesive layer of a single-lap joint (SLJ) with functionally graded (FG) adherends are investigated. The study focuses on the effect of different adherend profiles and material composition on the time-dependent stress concentration/distribution in balanced and unbalanced SLJs. For this purpose, the Reddy model is applied to ...
