Abstract

Carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) laminates can be used more efficiently in strengthening applications by applying prestress to the CFRP laminates. A key problem for prestressing with CFRP laminates is anchoring the laminates. These may include fracture to the CFRP laminates due to excessive gripping force or slippage of the CFRP laminates out of the anchorage zone caused by low friction between the anchor device and the lamiantes. The main objective of this study is the development of an applicative wedge-type anchorage system for prestressed CFRP laminates through experimental study. The experimental parameters were the type of anchorage and the effect of elastic modulus of tab. The test results showed that the developed anchor assures 100% CFRP laminate strength.
