Pull-Out Strength Of Fiberglass/Epoxy Composite Rebarfabricated On A Three-Dimensional Braiding Machine, Tarisai Machanzi
Pull-Out Strength Of Fiberglass/Epoxy Composite Rebarfabricated On A Three-Dimensional Braiding Machine, Tarisai Machanzi
Theses and Dissertations
The objective of this research was to explore and demonstrate the production andperformance of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) rebar manufactured on a continuous threedimensionalbraiding machine for use as reinforcement in concrete structures. Differentconfigurations of fiberglass/epoxy composite cylindrical rebar rods were manufactured,embedded in concrete, and tested in axial tension to identify the relationships betweenmanufacturing parameters and tensile pull-out strength of the rebar. The strength of the bondbetween concrete and FRP rebar was investigated using the pull-out test detailed by ACI 440.3R-12. The rebar was a No. 4 size and produced by combining multiple tows of fiberglass/epoxyprepreg to form the core of cylindrical …
