Two kinds of conventional reinforcing rebars were also studied for comparison. Each rebar was embedded in a 150 mm concrete cube,with the embedded length being four times the rebar diameter. The experimental parameters were the rebar type,rebar component,rebar diameter,rebar surface texture,rib height,rib spacing and rib width. Theoretical analysis was also carried out to explain the experimental phenomena and results. The experimental and theoretical results indicated that the bond strength of GFRP rebars was about 13%~35% lower than that of steel rebars. The bond strength and bond-slip behavior of the specially machined rebars varied with the rebar type,rebar diameter,rebar surface texture,rib height,rib spacing and rib width. Using the results,design recom-mendations were made concerning optimum rib geometries of GFRP ribbed rebars with superior bond-slip characteristics,which concluded that the optimal rib spacing of ribbed rebars is the same as the rebar diameter,and that the optimal rib height is 6% of the rebar diameter.展开更多

Due to the fact that steel is not renewable and polluting steel mills are fairly high. The bond strength is a major concern for the natural fiber used as reinforcement in structural composites. This paper reports study on the bond strength of bamboo reinforcement in concrete, to determine the adhesion reinforcement in concrete often do by the pull-out test. The research objective was bond strength of lightweight concrete and bamboo reinforcement. The test used light weight concrete with foam additives klerak. Bamboo slats were coated with paint and sprinkled with sand. The results obtained showed that the bond strength bamboo 60% of the bond strength steel.展开更多
