초록

Corrosion of steel rebar reduces the lifespans of conventional reinforced concrete structures. In contrast, carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) materials are preferable due to their noncorroding properties and high strength-to-weight ratio. In the present study, the bonding of CFRP grids to concrete was evaluated for their use in different structural applications, and pull-out tests were conducted on 30 fabricated specimens with different embedded lengths. Results reveal that failure load increases with bond length, although not in a directly proportional manner. Based on empirical data, an equation representing the relationship between the characteristic strength of CFRP grids and their embedded length was formulated. This equation serves as a valuable tool to determine the development length required for CFRP grids in concrete, offering insights into the feasibility of utilizing CFRP grids as reinforcement elements in concrete structures.
