Abstract

The bond performance of fiber reinforced plastic (FRP) bars in seawater sea sand alkali activated concrete (SSASC) was investigated using pull-out test specimens. The effect of different concrete strengths, anchorage lengths, FRP bar types, and diameters on the bond performance were investiaged. Special emphasis was given to the applicability of the existing bond-slip constitutive models to FRP reinforced SSASC, which was investigated by calibrating well-known models to the experimental results. The correlation between the experimental curve and different bond-slip constitutive models is analyzed by calculating the R2 value. To verify the applicability of finite element analysis to SSASC and FRP bars system, numerical simulation was performed in ABAQUS finite element simulation software by setting the same conditions as the experimental variables. The results indicate that the Fan Xiaochun's model, which is the modifications of the MBPE model, has a high degree of correlation and is more suitable for SSASC and FRP bars system. The simulation results using ABAQUS finite element software are in good agreement with the experimental results.
