Theoretical Assessment of FRP Tendon Wedge Anchorage System

Article Preview

Abstract:

In order to improve designing and well understanding the working mechanism for fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) tendon wedge anchorage system (FWAS), a theory for solving the anchorage system was presented in this paper. A designing guidelines of anchorage system was established. The theory was checked by comparing the analytical and test results of a Carbon FRP tendon anchrage system. Effect of presetting load and friction coefficient of sleeve-FRP tendon interface on anchorage performance were evaluated by the theory. The results show that, The theory was proved to be correct, it can be used to predict the carrying capacity of FWAS, and it can calculate the stress and transverse displacement of any point of the anchorage system. The presetting load and friction coefficient of sleeve-FRP tendon interface have great impact to anchorage performance.
