In this study, a novel connection system based on FRP bars and steel grouting sleeves was developed for the prefabrication construction of FRP bar-reinforced UHPC structures. The flexural tests showed that the proposed connection system is reliable, as the failure always occurred outside the connection zone and the crack opening displacements at the connection interface were smaller than 0.2 mm. The connection mode and fiber type had little influence on the first cracking load and the initial bending stiffness of the FRP bar-reinforced UHPC plates, but the horse tooth connection mode provided better ductility.
Fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) bars have been proposed for use in ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) as the reinforcement to mitigate/avoid the post-peak strain softening of UHPC under tension and to reduce the fiber dosage used in UHPC. The so-formed FRP-reinforced UHPC plates could be adopted for both structural strengthening and constructing novel structural elements. In this paper, a novel connection based on FRP bars and steel grouting sleeves has been developed for prefabrication construction of FRP bar-reinforced UHPC structures. Flexural tests were conducted to gain understandings of the effects of the connection mode (the staggered connection and the horse tooth connection) and reinforcing fiber type (polyethylene (PE) fibers and steel fibers) in the UHPC on the flexural behavior of connected FRP bar-reinforced-UHPC composite plates. The test results revealed that the proposed connection system is reliable since the composite plates always failed outside the connection zone, and most of the crack opening displacements at the interface of the connection are smaller than 0.2 mm at ultimate. The connection mode and the fiber type had little influence on the first cracking load and the initial bending stiffness of the FRP bar-reinforced UHPC plates, while the horse tooth connection led to a better ductility of the composites plates than the staggered connection mode. At given tolerable deflection of 1/200 span (about 5 mm), the longitudinal strains developed in the CFRP bars were about 2000 mu epsilon for all specimens.
