Abstract:
To determine the elevated-temperature mechanical properties of carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) bar and its bond-type anchorage system with bonding agent of reactive powder concrete (RPC), the axial tensile tests and pull-out tests with parameter of treatment temperature were conducted on 12 CFRP bar specimens and 8 anchorage performance specimens exposed to elevated temperature, respectively. The effects of elevated temperature on the mechanical properties of CFRP bar and its bond-type anchorage system under high tempera-ture were uncovered, and the practical formulas were developed for determining the axial tensile properties of CFRP bar, the bond strength and the critical anchorage length of the bond-type anchorage system with bonding agent of RPC exposed to elevated temperature. The results demonstrated that the tensile strength and elastic modulus of axial tensile specimens exposed to the elevated temperature of 100℃, 210℃ and 300℃ decreased by (2.3%, 11.4%), (29.8%, 35.6%) and (40.9%, 45%), respectively, compared to the specimen under room temperature. The effect of elevated temperature on the elastic modulus of CFRP bar exposed to elevated temperature was more significant than the tensile strength. The ultimate tensile strain of axial tensile specimens exposed to the elevated temperature of 100℃, 210℃ and 300℃ increased by 18.5%, 17.3% and 14.8%, respectively, compared to the specimen under room temperature. With the increase of the elevated temperature, the ultimate tensile strain of CFRP bar increased firstly and then decreased. The bond strength of the anchorage performance specimens decreased linearly with the increase of the elevated temperature. Specifically, compared to the specimen under room temperature, the bond strengths of the specimens exposed to the elevated temperature of 100℃, 210℃ and 300℃ decreased by 20.4%, 52.6% and 85.1%, respectively. The practical formulas with high accuracy for determining the mechanical properties of the CFRP bar and bond-type anchorage system exposed to elevated temperature were developed in the present study.
