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

FRP) rebars are one kind of high-performance composite materi- als used in concrete structures of civil engineering. Compared with ordinary steel rebars, FRP rebars have the characteristics of high tensile strength, an- tisepsis, light weight, low elastics modulus and low shear strength, et al. At present time, FRP re- bars have been studied and applied in Europe, America and Japan Since 2000, in the Fund of NS- FC, we systematically carried out experimental and theoretical studies on FRP rebars The progress of our research is briefly introduced in this paper.展开更多
