Bond Characteristics between ECC (Engineered Cementitious Composites) and GFRP Rebars

Abstract:

The purpose of this study is to investigate the bond characteristics between ECC(Engineered Cementitious Composites) and GFRP(Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymers) rebars. An experimental study was carried out to investigate the bond-slip properties of the steel and GFRP rebars in ECC which was reinforced with Polyvinyl Alcohol(PVA) fibers. A total of 8 beam specimens, which was designed according to the RILEM guidelines, was tested according to the RILEM guideline. The main objective was evaluating the load versus displacement and load versus slip behavior and the bond strength regarding the influence of the following parameters : concrete type(Normal concrete and fiber reinforced concrete) and bar diameter and type. From the test results, concrete and ECC specimen presented similar behavior for steel reinforced specimen. However, GFRPO reinforced specimen show different behavior with that. Comparative study for test and equations of MC90 was carried out and code provision predicted the bond characteristics conservatively.
