Experimental study on bond behaviour between recycled aggregate concrete and basalt fibre-reinforced polymer bars under different strain rates

Concrete structures are constantly subjected to both static and dynamic loads. Hence, this study mainly focused on the strain rate effect on the bond behaviour between reinforced recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) and basalt fibre-reinforced polymer (BFRP) bars. Pull-out tests were conducted to investigate the bond performance between RAC and BFRP bars. The strain rates which indicate the static, earthquake, and impact loads were considered to...
