This investigation aims to study the effect of varying superplasticizer dosage and water‐to‐cement ratio (w/c) on the bond strength between aramid fiber reinforced polymers (AFRPs) bar and self‐consolidating concrete (SCC). A total of 15 compression tests and 36 pullout tests are conducted on AFRP and steel bars within five different groups of concrete mixtures. Results show a significant effect of superplasticizer and water‐to‐cement ratio on the bond strength of AFRP bars embedded within SCC. The bond‐slip behavior between the AFRP bars and SCC was quantified and is presented in this research.
