The selected parameters are the inner angle of the anchorage barrel, the friction between the barrel and filling material, and the elastic modulus of the filling material. The difference in the behavioral characteristics is examined for each parameter. In view of the analytic results, the shear stress developed in the CFRP tendon reduces with larger inner angle of the barrel and lower elastic modulus of the filling material. However, such combination provokes also the increase of the relative displacement of the CFRP tendon. Especially, slip failure may occur due to the lack of the confining force necessary for the anchorage due to the sudden loss of vertical force brought by the wedge force. The experimental results relative to barrel inner angles of 2° and 4° showed that the specimen with an angle of 2° preserved its anchoring performance up to tensile failure whereas the specimen with an angle of 4°?failed in developing its maximum anchoring performance due to slip failure.展开更多

To that goal, finite element analysis is performed on the parameters determining the dimensions of the sleeve like the thickness and inner diameters of the sleeve. The results show that a constant swaging pressure of about 450 MPa on the mean is distributed in the sleeve when the thickness ratio of the stress relief zone to the effective swaging zone of the sleeve is larger than 1.1 and that the swaging pressure tends to reduce linearly as much as this thickness ratio becomes smaller than 1.1. The pressure varies within a range of about 30% according to the change in the inner diameter of the sleeve whereas varies within a range less than 10% according to the change in the inner diameter when the thickness ratio is larger than 1.1. Finally, the optimal dimensions of the steel tube sleeve enabling to secure an anchor force larger than the rupture strength of the CFRP tendon with diameter of 5 mm are determined based upon the results of the parametric analysis.展开更多
