Abstract
In this paper, 30 beam tests, 48 Losberg pullout tests and 6 standard pullout tests were conducted to investigate bond-slip response of sand-coated deformed glass fibre-reinforced polymer (GFRP) rebars in concrete. The specimen parameters varied were concrete strength, embedment length, bar diameter and test method. Two failure modes including pullout failure and splitting failure were observed. The experimental bond stress-slip (((s) curves of sand-coated deformed GFRP rebars in concrete in pullout failure included a micro-slippage branch, a slippage branch, a descending branch and a residual branch, while the bbs curves in splitting failure included a micro-slippage branch and a slippage branch. Based on the tests, a new bond-slip constitutive model for sand-coated deformed GFRP rebars in concrete was presented. Compared with other available models, the model proposed in this paper can provide more reliable simulations of the test results. 27 Refs.
