A Split-Wedge Anchorage for CFRP Cables: Numerical Model vs. Experimental Results

Abstract: Fiber-reinforced polymers (FRPs) are widely used within civil structural applications either for structural retrofitting or new constructions. This is due to their appreciable mechanical properties such as high stiffness and strength, resistance to environmental effects, as well low density. Through the years, such peculiarities have encouraged researchers to apply FRP cables within the design of prestressing systems, where steel cables are systematically adopted. However, the brittleness intrinsic to FRP mate… Show more

“…The proposed site for the bridge is situated within the University of Salerno (Italy) campus. The bridge ( Figure 8 and Figure 9 ) incorporates the following components: (1) PCFRP cables ( ), fastened by split wedge anchorages [ 37 , 38 ]; (2) GFRP sandwiches decks ( Figure 8 b,c), comprising an intermediate system with a) pairs of U-shaped longitudinal ( Figure 8 d) and diagonal/transversal elements ( Figure 8 e) whose material has undergone experimental and numerical studies as documented in [ 39 , 40 , 41 ]; (b) top and bottom panels ( Figure 8 f) (3) pylons ( Figure 9 a) assembled through a) four vertical Double Web Beam ( Figure 9 b); (b) U-shaped with the section geometry reported in Figure 9 c. The mechanical properties of the adopted materials are detailed in Table 10 . One of the primary design goals was to limit the deck acceleration resulting from pedestrian actions.…”

“…As shown in Figure 3, the girder of the Sutong Bridge is the steel box beam made of Q345 and Q370 grade steel, whose sectional parameters are listed in Table 1. In Table 1, the natural frequency (ω) of the stayed cable can be derived based on the theoretical formula for string vibration, as shown in Equation (6). Meanwhile, the experimental results of the damping ratios of the steel cable and the BFRP cable were adopted in this analysis [25].…”
