Abstract:To obtain reasonable bond performance parameters of GFRP bars, the indoor pull-out test and numerical simulation are used to study the bond performance between GFRP bars and mortars. Through the pull-out tests of different reinforcement diameters and mortar strengths, the relation curves between bond strength and slip under different working conditions are obtained, and the influence of reinforcement diameter and mortar strength on the bond strength of GFRP bars is revealed. Based on the results of indoor pull-out test, the finite difference software FLAC3D is used to simulate and reproduce the pull-out test of GFRP bars. The back analysis of the bond performance parameters is carried out in FLAC3D, and the calculation formulas of the grouting stiffness and grouting cohesion of GFRP bars are modified. The results show that the bond strength between GFRP bars and mortar is negatively correlated with the diameter of bars, while positively correlated with the mortar strength. In the absence of pull-out test data, the ultimate bond strength of GFRP bars should be one fifth of the compressive strength of mortar to obtain the grouting cohesion. The grouting stiffness of GFRP bars can be calculated by formula of ordinary steel bars, but it should be multiplied by the reduction factor in the interval of (1/10, 1/15).
