MECHANICS BEHAVIOR OF FRP WRAPPED REBAR REINFORCED CONCRETE Ⅱ: MECHANIC TESTS

The tensile tests were made for the FRP wrapped rebar with glass fiber layers and a steel core. The results show that there is a good bilinear character in the mechanic behavior coming from such a new kind of rebar. The test result coincides with the theoretical prediction. It is the basement for the design and application of FRP rebar in concrete engineering.
