Abstract

Owing to limit in transportation and production, the connection of FRP rebars is an unavoidable problem. A coaxial joining scheme for FRP rebars using winding wet fabrics and fiber bundle/belt composite is presented in this paper. The experimental results indicate that the connection method is effective. And it has the following characteristics: small size, light weight, high strength, corrosion resistance, easy to construction etc. Facing the development of the engineering application in the future, some works need further research are putting forward.
