Experimental Study of Dimensional Effects on Tensile Strength of GFRP Bars
This study explores the mechanical properties of Glass Fiber-Reinforced Polymer (GFRP), a high-performance composite material, focusing on how varying diameters affect its tensile strength, modulus, and elongation. Experimental data obtained from three sets of tensile tests on 10, 12, and 25 mm bars helped establish a stress–strain relationship for GFRP reinforcements, considering diameter changes, and a formula for calculating the ultimate tensile strength based on diameter. Utilizing the weakest chain theory and the Weibull distribution, the research found that GFRP’s tensile strength diminished with increased diameter, while the elastic modulus behaves oppositely. The analysis, grounded in the weakest chain theory, identifies the specimen’s effective volume as a critical factor in the size effect of GFRP bars. Moreover, the study proves a significant size effect on GFRP’s tensile properties, validating the theory’s application in predicting the strength of GFRP bars of varying sizes and recommending a specimen length range of 30–40 times its diameter for standardization purposes.
