Mechanical splice of grid CFRP reinforcement and steel plate

摘要

In order to connect the grid CFRP reinforcement and the flange of H-shaped steel, a specially designed mechanical splice made of some pieces of steel plate and resin mortal has been developed. The mechanical splice contained three cross points of the gird CFRP reinforcement, because the strength of cross point was from 36 to 51 % of the tensile strength. The mechanical splice could transmit the tensile capacity of the grid CFRP reinforcement to the steel plate.
