The pullout test specimens were subjected to temperatures of 40℃, 60℃ and 80℃ during a continuous four months-period of time. The results were compared to the reference specimens (room temperature). It was found that up to 60℃, the loss in bond strength due to the temperature is not significant, whereas for the 80℃-temperature a reduction of 14% in the bond strength is observed. Also, the bond-slip relationship was modelled using the CMR-model and new coefficients are proposed for the bond-slip behaviour of GFRP bars.展开更多
