Abstract:

In this study, 27 beam specimens were tested to determine the bond strength of fiber reinforced plastic bars (FRP) in tension. The specimens were reinforced with #4, #6, or #8 FRP bars. The FRP bars were made of glass reinforcement and vinylester binder. The concrete strength ranged from 4000 psi to 4500 psi. All those specimens reinforced with #4 bars failed in tension. Only the specimens containing #6 bars with 24 inches embedment length could develop the full tensile strength of the #6 bar. All of the specimens reinforced with #8 bars failed due to bond.
