Abstract
Bond behaviour is important in the design and performance of reinforced concrete structures. In this study, an analytical model is developed for the bond-slip relationship between glass fibre reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars and fly-ash based Geopolymer Cement (GPC) concrete. The model is then used in finite element modelling for the purpose of checking the accuracy of the bond-slip model in predicting experimental results and investigating bond distribution along the embedment length of the bar. The bond between GPC and GFRP is modelled using surface based cohesive behaviour with a linear elastic traction-separation law. The predicted results compare very well with the experimental bond stress and slip results.
