Abstract:
In prestressing applications, the use of fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) reinforcement is hindered by the absence of a reliable, simple anchorage system that is as durable as the FRP material. The new type of anchor dealt with in this article is assembled from precast components of ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) especially produced for this purpose. Experiments show such anchorage to have excellent performance under both static and cyclic loadings.
