Experimental study on bond performance between GFRP bars and concrete

Abstract

Based on 27 bonding test of pull-out specimens, the bonding performance between GFRP and concrete was studied systematically. The bond failure between concrete and GFRP includes four stages: microslip stage, linear slip stage, nonlinear slip stage and bond failure stage. The experiment shows that there is no significant correlation between concrete strength and bond strength, bond strength increases with the bond length and decreases with the increase of GFRP reinforcement diameter.
