Prospect Analysis of the Application of BFRP Bar to Bridges

Article Preview

Abstract:

Basalt Fiber Reinforced Polymer (BFRP) bar was deemed as a substitute material of steel bar owing to its strong tensile properties and corrosion resistance which is benefit to enhance the durability of reinforced concrete bridges. Based on the current research findings, the prospects of BFRP bar for the application to bridges were analyzed. It was concluded that BFRP bar had more widely application to bridges than steel bar owing to the advantages of BFRP bar in the mechanical performance of resisting the corrosion. Meanwhile, two key points of whether BFRP bar could be successfully applied to bridges were also discussed, i.e., the bond-anchorage properties between BFRP bar and concrete as well as the manufacturing technique of anchorage device of BFRP bar.
