Carbon FRP (CFRP) reinforcement is a very promising alternative material in prestressed concrete structures. Acceptance of CFRP tendons in post-tensioned concrete applications is inhibited by the lack of a suitable anchor system to maintain the prestressing force in the reinforcement. The experimental data and experience on mechanical behavior of prestressing steel tendons and anchorages are abundant but cannot be used when developing FRP tendon-anchorage systems. A new anchor system was designed and developed at the University of Waterloo. In this project, anchors are fabricated based on the Waterloo design. The performance of the anchor system will be evaluated under short-term static loading to evaluate the anchorage efficiency for the CFRP tendons.
