Abstract

Glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars are sometimes used when corrosion of conventional reinforcing steel bar is of concern. In this study, a total of 36 beams and one-way slabs reinforced using GFRP bars were tested in flexure. Four different GFRP bars of 13 mm diameter were used in the test program. In most test specimens, the GFRP bars were lap spliced at center. All beams and slabs were tested under 4-point loads so that the spliced region be subject to constant moment. Test variables were splice lengths, cover thicknesses, and bar spacings. No stirrups were used in the spliced region so that the tests result in conservative bond strengths. Average bond stresses that develop between GFRP bars and concrete were determined through nonlinear analysis of the cross-sections. An average bond stress prediction equation was derived utilizing two-variable linear regression. A splice length equation based on 5% fractile concept was then developed. As a result of this study, a rational equation with which design splice lengths of the GFRP bars can be determined, was proposed.

이형철근의 부식이 우려되는 경우, GFRP 보강근의 사용이 사용될 수 있다. 이 연구에서는 GFRP 보강근으로 보강된 총 36개 보 및 일방향 슬래브의 휨 실험을 수행하였다. 4종의 GFRP 보강근을 실험에 사용하였고, 보강근 직경은 13 mm이었다. 대부분의 실험체의 보강근은 중앙부에서 겹침이음되었다. 모든 보 및 슬래브는 4점재하 되었으므로, 이음부는 균일한 모멘트를 받도록 계획하였다. 실험변수는 이음길이, 피복두께 및 보강근 간격이었다. 보수적으로 부착강도를 평가하기 위하여 이음부에는 스터럽을 사용하지 않았다. 실험결과 보강근과 콘크리트 간 발생한 부착응력을 비선형 단면해석을 통하여 결정하였다. 2변수 선형 회귀분석을 사용하여 평균부착강도의 예측식을 유도하였다. 5% 분위수 개념을 사용하여 이음길이 설계식을 제안하였다. 이 연구의 결과로 이론적인 이음길이 설계식이 제안되었으며 결과를 ACI 440 정착설계식과 비교하였다.
