An experimental program was carried out at the Laboratory of Structural Division of the Civil Engineering Department of the University of Minho (LEST-UM) to investigate the bond behaviour of glass fibre reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars embedded in steel fibre reinforced self-compacting concrete (SFRSCC) for the development of an innovative structural system. Thirty-six pull-out-bending tests were executed to asse...
Reinforcing bars made of Glass-Fiber-Reinforced Polymers (GFRP) are more and more common as internal reinforcement of concrete structures and infrastructures. Since the design of GFRP reinforced concrete members is often controlled by serviceability limit state criteria (i.e., deflection or crack width control), an accurate knowledge of the GFRP-concrete bond behavior is needed to formulate sound design equatio...
To estimate the cracking and the deformational behavior of steel fiber reinforced selfcompacting concrete (SFRSCC) beams reinforced with glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars, it is fundamental to understand the interfacial bond behavior of embedded bars. Hence, the evaluation of the bond behavior between GFRP and (SFRSCC) was investigated in this study. A closed-form formulation was derived,...
