Effect of Bond Condition on Cyclic Behavior of Post- Tensioned Concrete Beams with Carbon Fiber-Reinforced Polymer Tendons
Abstract:The lack of ductility is the main concern in the use of carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) reinforcement as prestressing tendon in concrete members. To address this concern, a partially bonded concept has been proposed. In this approach, CFRP tendons are intentionally debonded from the concrete in the middle region of the prestressed concrete beam, while remaining bonded at each end. In this study, eight post-tensioned beams, including five beams with CFRP tendons and three beams with steel tendons, are te… Show more
