Experimental Study on Mechanics Properties of CFRP-PCPs Composite Rebars under Uniaxial Load

Article Preview

Abstract:

The mechanics properties of CFRP-PCPs composite rebars under uniaxial load was studied by experiment. The results showed that the application of a reasonable amount of prestress to the prisms can limit service load deflections and crack width to acceptable levels, using CFRP-PCP composite rebars as reinforcement utilizes high strength of FRP effectively, reducing the reinforcement ratio and consequently the cost while simultaneously satisfying structural requirements.
