The Static Test Study on Anchors of CFRP Cables

Abstract:

The axial performance of CFRP is excellent, while the lateral compression strength and shear strength are low, thus they can’t be anchored by traditional anchors. A new type of adhesive anchor was designed and five experimental cables were fabricated and the static tests were carried out. In the tests, the tensile capacity, bond strength and pullout behavior of CFRP cables anchors filled with resin were discussed. The efficiency coefficients and the load-slip behaviors of the bond-type anchors and the uniformities of the stresses in the tendons were studied. Several conclusions are drawn which have become powerful evidences for using the bond-type anchors in the first cable stayed bridge with CFRP cables in China.
