Abstract
This study investigates the mechanical properties of carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) cable at the anchoring region where arrange the adhesive material with different mediums aiming at reducing the high stress concentration. The 3D finite element (FE) model was established based on cable force of 100t and 1000t, and its accuracy was verified by experimental results. The effects of geometrical dimensions and mediums stiffness on anchoring capacity of the cable was studied. The results show that the proposed anchorage gets high anchoring efficiency. The gradient variation of the stiffness of the adhesive material can effectively reduce the stress crest of the cable at the anchorage region. The distributions of the radial and shear stress of the cable at the anchorage region become comparatively flat with the increase in the number of segments. The variation stiffness and length ratio have the main influence on the stress of the cable in three orientations. Friction coefficient and internal taper have the secondary effects on the radial stress and the axial displacement. Anchor length and thickness of adhesive material only affect the radial stress. Anchorage design should primarily focus on the stiffness and length ratio of the adhesive material. The anchoring method proposed in this paper is helpful to anchor multi-tendon cables efficiently, and promote the application of high-capacity FRP cables in large-span spatial structure.
