Stress Transfer Properties and Displacement Difference of GFRP Antifloating Anchor

Glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) antifloating anchors are widely used in reinforcing underground structures. Despite the outstanding application advances of GFRP anchors in the antifloating field, research on the mechanical transmission and deformation properties of the anchor rod and anchorage body is still scarce. This paper introduces pull-out experiments of GFRP antifloating anchors based on the FBG sensor strings technology. The experimental data demonstrates that the distribution curve of the axial stress shows a reversed-S shape, and the shear stress distribution presents the law of increasing first and then decreasing from the position of peak shear stress. The rod-anchorage body displacement difference curves of the anchors with an anchorage length that is closer to the critical anchorage length are smoother than those of the anchors with a larger length difference from the critical anchorage length. Finally, a simplified distribution model of the shear stress is applied for predicting the rod-anchorage body displacement difference, and the experimental data of the anchors with a rod slip failure is more applicable for this model than that of the anchors with a rod rupture failure.
