C-Anchor for Strengthening the Connection between Adhesively Bonded Laminates and Concrete Substrates

Abstract: A new carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) anchor is developed and tested to delay debonding in reinforced concrete (RC) beams externally strengthened with FRP laminate/sheet. The C-shape anchor is made from a commercially available CFRP grid. The anchors legs are 95 mm long while the spacing between the legs is adjustable, depending on FRP laminate and beam widths. Nine full scale RC beams, 3.0 m long, 250 mm wide and 400 mm deep, were strengthened with CFRP laminate/sheet, with and without the C-anchor. Th… Show more

“…Some of these failures are the result of terrorist attacks involving explosives [2], which damage PS bridge members or tendons [3]. The losing strands on the concrete member have a great effect on the design PS force which reflects a reduction of the nominal capacity and lack of serviceability [4]. One of the strengthening findings that will be investigated in this paper is the evaluation of the use of CFRP laminates with and without end anchorages for strengthening enhancement.…”

“…In practice, it is preferable to prevent the brittle failure mode by either eliminating it or shifting it to a more ductile mode. Anchoring the laminates to the concrete substrate with metallic or CFRP anchors may be a practical way to accomplish this [4]. CFRP U-wrapped anchors or other mechanical anchor systems have demonstrated high effectiveness in delaying the delamination process and increasing the strengthening efficiency.…”

“…Muitos autores recomendam a utilização de sistemas de ancoragem RAZAQPUR, 2013;FERRARI et al, 2002;SKUTURNA;VALIVONIS, 2016) a fim de evitar o rompimento prematuro das vigas reforçadas com CRFC, além de poder aumentar a carga última dessas vigas por meio destes incrementos de ancoragem (DEMAKOS et al, 2013;MOSTAFA, 2015).…”

“…. The loss of strands on the concrete member significantly impacts the design prestressed force, indicating a decrease in nominal capacity and lack of serviceability (Razaqpur and Mostafa, 2015). In this publication, one of the strengthening discoveries that will be studied is the usage of CFRP-laminate with and without anchorage to improve the laminate used for strengthening.…”
