Abstract
An experimental and analytical investigation of bond durability of E-glass fiber-reinforced polymer reinforcement bars in concrete beams is presented. Beams were conditioned with sustained flexural loads in indoor, outdoor, 60°C alkaline solution, or freeze/thaw environments for up to 3 years , after which they were subjected to eccentric three-point flexure tests to evaluate bond. Experimental bar force and slip were used to draw direct conclusions on bond durability, and also to calibrate a proposed local bond–slip model that incorporates concrete cover splitting. Experimental bar force at the onset of free-end slip varied little after any of the conditionings, although the characteristic of bond failure was noted to be less ductile in the moister environments. The interfacial fracture energy associated with bond–slip did not change with conditioning time in any of the environments except freeze/thaw, where a monotonic reduction versus time was seen. The effective bond length of the bar under various co...Keywords
