Investigation of Bond Properties of Glass Fibre Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) Bars in Concrete under Direct Tension

A study of existing research shows a need for an investigation of the bond properties of anchorage systems for GFRP bars including; straight, anchor heads and bends. The standard pullout test was modified to improve testing efficiency, accommodate bend tests, as well as reduce variability of concret...
