The paper presents research program of bond between glass fiber reinforced polymer bars and concrete in reference to the steel bars. Bond between the reinforcement and concrete is a crucial parameter governing a behaviour of reinforced concrete members and transferring of the internal forces from concrete to the reinforcement. The use of FRP bars as an equivalent reinforcement to steel in concrete structures has increased in recent years. The FRP bars are very different from steel, mainly due to much lower elasticity modulus and their anisotropic structure. Good performance of FRP reinforced concrete requires sufficient interfacial bond between bars and concrete. However, there are no specific standards referring to the surface preparation of these bars, that leads to variable bond behaviour of the composite reinforcement to the concrete. The objective of the study was to investigate the influence of variable parameters on the bond behaviour to concrete. The experimental program consisted of eighteen beam bond specimens varying in: bar diameter (12mm, 16mm, 18mm) and type of reinforcement (GFRP sand – coated and steel bars). Although the GFRP bars indicated good bond behaviour to concrete, the average bond strength was slightly lower than that of steel reinforcement of 16mm and 18 mm, while it was higher for the GFRP bars of 12mm diameter.
The paper analyses the impact of casting direction of self-compacting concrete (SCC) on its bond quality to steel reinforcing bars. Tests were performed on high performance self-compacting concretes with different amount of silica fume to cement mass. Experiment was carried out on 480 mm height specimens, which allowed determining changes of bond condition along its height. The ribbed reinforcing bars have been placed perpendicularly to the direction of casting. Casting was performed from two points – from the bottom and the top of the form. Research has shown that casting from the bottom of the form improves bond strength and quality.

W artykule zaprezentowano analizę doświadczalną przyczepności, która miała na celu ocenę wpływu średnicy pręta na przyczepność w próbie pull-out. Ponadto zweryfikowano wybrane modele analityczne wyznaczające wytrzymałość przyczepności w stosunku do otrzymanych rezultatów z testów. Z wykonanej analizy wynika, że średnica pręta istotnie wpływa na zachowanie przyczepności. Przytoczone modele w różnym stopniu zbieżności oszacowują wartości otrzymane z zaprezentowanych badań.

This paper presents an experimental analysis of bond to evaluate the effect of bar diameter on bond in pull-out test. In addition, selected analytical models determining bond strengths were verified against the obtained test results. The analysis shows that bar diameter significantly affects bond behavior. The mentioned models estimate the values obtained from the presented tests to varying degrees of convergence.
